]]> 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.

]]> Europe is an incredible continent, with so much to see, do, and explore, but it certainly can be expensive. Whether you’re dining out in London or hitting the Parisian shops, European city breaks can quickly rack up to cost far more than you’d budgeted for. That’s why this guide to three of the most budget-friendly European city breaks is so essential – you can experience all that beauty, culture and delicious food, without breaking the bank!

Krakow, Poland

This city is a gem of architectural delights, with structures dating from the medieval period all the way through to 20th century Art Deco. There’s plenty of vibrancy in the streets of Krakow, from the city’s street markets to the bustling art museums and galleries. Accommodation here is comparatively cheap, and you can dine on authentic Polish dishes such as goulash and dumplings for a very reasonable price.

Budapest, Hungary

Hungary’s capital is truly stunning, with enough amazing vistas to rival traditionally scenic cities such as Venice or Rome. Explore its historical monuments, its luxurious spas, and beautiful city streets, all while sticking to your budget easily. Fall is a particularly good time to visit this iconic city, as the streets are a little emptier and the summer’s heat has cooled.

Athens, Greece

Did you know that you can stay in four-star rated hotels in the center of Athens for less than $100 per night? The city has so much to offer, and if you visit off-peak you can bag some serious deals. Try a spring or fall vacation to the Greek capital, and you will be amazed at how much more affordable accommodation and tours are, compared with the high season.

]]> Given how expensive flights are, going on a vacation as a college student on a limited budget can prove challenging. Fortunately, there are some special deals out there that could provide you with some hope to score a fairly cheap holiday. Here are some of the best airlines that give student discounts on flights.

United Airlines

If you sign up for their MileagePlus program, United Airlines will give you a 5% discount on economy and basic economy fares at certain points of the year. Simply log into the United Airlines website and select your flight of choice. Make sure to check the young traveler discount option to enjoy this benefit.

Singapore Airlines

By enrolling in an eligible college or university, you’ll become eligible to receive a discount of up to 10% off by booking a Lite, Value, or Standard seat as part of the Singapore Airlines student privileges program. What’s more, you’ll be eligible for business and first-class tickets as well.

Iberia

So long as you are under 30 years of age, you’ll be eligible to join the Iberia Joven program. If you happen to be planning a group trip, then you’re in luck—Iberia will offer you a discount of up to 15% for a group booking of four people or more.

]]> 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.

]]> Whether you are planning a bachelorette party or just hoping the girls’ trip finally makes it out of the group chat, we’ve got you covered with some of the top destinations for a budget friendly girls’ trip. Keep reading for beach trips, city escapes, or wanderlust nature trips.

Paros, Greece

If you and the girls are looking for a budget friendly trip with beautiful beaches, delicious cuisine, and notorious nightlife, look no further than Paros. This island is much less expensive than some of the more touristy destinations in Greece, and has just as much charm and beauty. Enjoy a day on the beach as you sunbathe, drink spritzes, and eat your weight in Greek salads. Then take on the town. There’s a reason why this Island is so enchanting, and is also a great spot to meet other budget friendly travelers.

Albania

Albania is definitely worth the visit as it more cost effective and budget friendly than most European countries, and offers beautiful beaches, Roman ruins, history, and castles. Albania is also home to some UNESCO World Heritage Sites including Berat Castle, and an incredibly well-preserved citadel. Accommodations and food are also inexpensive, making Albania an excellent choice for travelers seeking beaches, history, and castles on a budget!

Bali, Indonesia

While flight prices may be on the higher side, everything else is a budget friendly paradise in Bali. Bali is a beautiful destination for those looking to enjoy nature, beaches, and vibrant culture. It’s the perfect place to enjoy spa days, visit temples, and lounge on the beach without breaking the bank.

]]> If you’re a big fan of Italy’s coastal scene, but are looking to explore on a budget, look no further. We’ve got you covered with a list of travel hacks that will allow you see more of the Amalfi Coast without breaking the bank.

Stay in Naples

Naples is not only known for its unique street food scene, but its also a great place to stay if you’re looking to explore more of Italy’s coastal scene on a budget. Naples is known to be less expensive tourist wise, than most of Italy’s tourist destinations, making it a great home base if you’re looking to explore Italy’s coast on a budget. Choose a place that is close to the Ferries or the train station so that you will have quicker access to transit.

Take a Ferry

Once in Naples, there are many ferries that run all day and go to Capri, Amalfi, and Positano, that are a quick, inexpensive and scenic ride. Take the earliest ferry in the morning, and get the last one back to Naples, as you enjoy a whole day around neighboring islands.

Book Tickets in Advance

Book travel tickets in advance! This will allow you to get the best rate for travel, instead of last-minute tickets that will cost you top dollar. There are many trains that go to small towns where you can continue your journey from Naples all the way up the Coast.

]]> If you’re not a frequent traveler, getting a special souvenir when you go on a trip is a great idea. You might be willing to spend more on a decorative item or something special for your memories. Souvenirs are a great way to remind you of the great times you had on a trip, but if you travel frequently, you might not be able to spend the money on expensive souvenirs (and you might run out of room in your home for them!). Because of this, you might not know how to commemorate your trip. 

Commemorating your trip with a souvenir shouldn’t be off-limits because you travel a lot, and there’s a great souvenir idea to solve this issue. The answer is buying a postcard at each destination. You can spend time finding a postcard that represents something special about that trip, or one that simply shows the beauty of that place. 

After you find your postcard, if you really want to personalize the souvenir, you can write something on the back of it. You can add your itinerary, so you’ll never forget everything you did in each place. You could also simply write your favorite memory from the trip, or something new you learned. Afterwards, you can put the postcards in an album or box to have the memories forever!

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.

Stay in Naples

Naples is not only known for its unique street food scene, but its also a great place to stay if you’re looking to explore more of Italy’s coastal scene on a budget. Naples is known to be less expensive tourist wise, than most of Italy’s tourist destinations, making it a great home base if you’re looking to explore Italy’s coast on a budget. Choose a place that is close to the Ferries or the train station so that you will have quicker access to transit.

Take a Ferry

Once in Naples, there are many ferries that run all day and go to Capri, Amalfi, and Positano, that are a quick, inexpensive and scenic ride. Take the earliest ferry in the morning, and get the last one back to Naples, as you enjoy a whole day around neighboring islands.

Book Tickets in Advance

Book travel tickets in advance! This will allow you to get the best rate for travel, instead of last-minute tickets that will cost you top dollar. There are many trains that go to small towns where you can continue your journey from Naples all the way up the Coast.

]]> If you’re not a frequent traveler, getting a special souvenir when you go on a trip is a great idea. You might be willing to spend more on a decorative item or something special for your memories. Souvenirs are a great way to remind you of the great times you had on a trip, but if you travel frequently, you might not be able to spend the money on expensive souvenirs (and you might run out of room in your home for them!). Because of this, you might not know how to commemorate your trip. 

Commemorating your trip with a souvenir shouldn’t be off-limits because you travel a lot, and there’s a great souvenir idea to solve this issue. The answer is buying a postcard at each destination. You can spend time finding a postcard that represents something special about that trip, or one that simply shows the beauty of that place. 

After you find your postcard, if you really want to personalize the souvenir, you can write something on the back of it. You can add your itinerary, so you’ll never forget everything you did in each place. You could also simply write your favorite memory from the trip, or something new you learned. Afterwards, you can put the postcards in an album or box to have the memories forever!
