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.

Given how prices continue to surge, many of us travel lovers are only too happy to learn about affordable travel destinations that allow us to truly enjoy ourselves while remaining within our budget. In fact, there are some little-known places where you can enjoy an unforgettable trip for as little as $30 per day. Here are some of those affordable countries that you’ll surely want to add to your travel list.

Nepal

Famed for its beautiful temples and mountainous landscape, the mystical nation of Nepal offers accommodation as affordable as $20 per night in its capital city of Kathmandu. Of course, a trip to the Himalayas will be one that you won’t soon forget, especially with Mount Everest at its heart.

Laos

Given how popular Thailand and Vietnam have become with tourists over the years, the neighboring country of Laos is often overlooked. This is an unfortunate trend given its wondrous Buddhist monasteries, breathtaking coastlines, and intriguing French colonial architecture in its cities. What’s more, accommodation can cost you as little as $13 per night.

Philippines

With its numerous tropical islands, the Philippines is the perfect place for a calm beach vacation. Many of its islands, including Siargao, which is renowned for its vibrant surfing culture, offer accommodation for as little as $30 or less. What’s more, there’s a selection of both incredibly cheap local cuisine and Western comfort foods as well.

Travel is a wondrous and fulfilling thing, but even with careful planning, it’s not exactly cheap. To add insult to injury, the most in-demand destinations also tend to be the most expensive to visit. As much as we’d love to have the freedom to travel anywhere, anytime, sometimes we have to work with what we’ve got. Fortunately, there are plenty of affordable locations that are remarkably similar to more popular hot spots. Read on to learn more about some of the best “dupe destinations” for travelers on a budget.

Instead of Paris, Check Out Budapest

Often described as “the Paris of the East”, Budapest, Hungary exhibits an architectural grandeur reminiscent of The City of Lights through its intricate bridges, elegant cathedrals, and winding cobblestone streets. While its old-world charm is comparable to Paris, the cost of living in Budapest is on average 46% lower than that of the French capital.

Instead of Santorini, Visit Paros

If Greece is on your radar but the cost is a concern, skip expensive hot spots and consider Paros as a more budget-friendly alternative. With its pristine beaches and a culture defined by Greek hospitality, the island has a similar feel to Santorini with a fraction of the crowds for a fraction of the price. Spend your days surfing and lounging in the sun, or explore the local villages including Parikia and Naousa.

Instead of Seoul, Try Taipei

As the 9th most expensive city in the world, the South Korean capital of Seoul can’t exactly be described as “affordable,” and for cost-conscious travelers, Taipei makes for an ideal dupe. With a vibrant street food scene and a unique mix of modern and traditional architecture, the Taiwanese capital offers an equally enriching experience with a much lower price tag than other Asian metropolises.

Between flights, accommodations, excursions, and more, traveling ain’t cheap at the best of times, though some destinations are more expensive than others. As much as we enjoy places like London and Paris, the popularity of these cities means they come at a much greater cost than other locations throughout the rest of Europe. If you’re looking to plan a European getaway on a limited budget, read on to learn more about some more affordable destinations worth visiting.

Porto, Portugal

Often overshadowed by its capital Lisbon, Porto is a Portuguese hidden gem situated on the Iberian Peninsula. Visitors can easily explore the city almost entirely on foot, stopping at its many churches and museums as they stroll through the cobblestone streets. Prices in Porto are quite affordable in general, but those looking for even greater savings can sign up for the Porto.CARD for discounts on transport and attractions.

Budapest, Hungary

Budapest is a shining example of a city that offers tourists the opportunity to explore Europe at an affordable price point. Sites such as the Danube River, thermal baths, and Buda Castle all make it a great destination for travelers interested in experiencing authentic Hungarian culture without breaking the bank. Accommodations, food, and public transport are also markedly lower than other European cities. 

Sofia, Bulgaria

For nature enthusiasts and city-dwellers alike, you can’t go wrong with a trip to Sofia, Bulgaria. The city’s position at the foot of Vitosha Mountain provides a perfect balance of opportunities for urban exploration and outdoor adventure, while low-cost attractions, inexpensive street food, and cheap public transportation keep things easy on your wallet. Admission to many of its iconic churches is free of charge.
