If you are a desperate traveler and you are not afraid of exchange rates, you can only be congratulated. Everyone else is left to look for budget travel options. But the crisis should not deprive you of the opportunity to see new countries. It is only necessary to correct the ways of saving.
When buying tickets online, do it incognito. Your search queries are recorded on the seller's website and the price rises when you enter it again. The more views you have of a certain route, the more expensive it is. And one more little trick: tickets bought on Tuesday and Wednesday will be cheaper.
Many museums around the world have free admission days. For example, in Moscow on the third Sunday of the month, most museums are free to visit. The entrance to the Hermitage is free on the first Thursday of every month. In European museums, such as the Louvre, free admission on the first Sunday of the month. And if you come to the museum after 6 pm on a weekday, you will pay half the cost. And in Prague you can take a free city tour. It is led by a special guide in a yellow shirt, who waits every day at the Old Town Square near the astronomical clock.
Buy souvenirs not in the main streets and popular tourist places, but in the neighboring districts. There they will cost several times cheaper. For example, if at sea you need swimming slippers (aqua shoes), do not rush to buy them at a shop near the beach. Walk a couple of streets inland and buy them a few euros cheaper. When making large purchases, check the possibility of getting tax-free. You can get a VAT refund of 7 to 35%.
