Heading on an international vacation can be expensive. Still, this doesn’t mean that you can’t travel abroad on a budget so long as you have the right approach. Here are some affordable European cities you can visit even if you are traveling on a limited budget.
Vilnius, Lithuania
This Baltic city is quickly becoming a tourist hotspot thanks to its breathtaking architecture, including the Vilnius Cathedral and the St. James Church bell tower. Its hotels and stores are also affordable, with a weekend in the Lithuanian capital costing as little as $300 if you spend wisely.
Lille, France
While France is one of the biggest tourist hotspots in the world, the city of Lille is one of the few that proves to be very affordable. Going against the trend, Lille has experienced a 30% drop in costs, with the average price of accommodation slumping to just $166. Near the Belgian border, this French city is now a bustling university city.
Lisbon, Portugal
Despite being Portugal’s capital city, Lisbon is surprisingly affordable, particularly for a European city. From its rolling hills to its golden beaches, this city is an ideal place to enjoy a unique blend of sightseeing and beach vacation, with a two-night stay in a three-star hotel for as little as $193.
