Instructions
Step 1
Skip travel agency services - it will save you money. Do all the steps for a successful trip yourself: buy plane or train tickets, book a hotel room, choose your favorite excursions and entertainment program. Before booking tickets, choose an airline - give preference to the budget option. Explore special offers and promotions - you can save a lot on them.
Step 2
Don't go on a holiday trip. Prices rise strongly during this period. Save a lot if you book your tickets well in advance of your upcoming trip and pay for them online. Remember that tickets purchased at special rates are almost impossible to exchange or return, so make sure in advance if you can check out at this time. Sometimes it is better to overpay, but be sure that you can get your money back in case of unforeseen circumstances.
Step 3
When planning your trip, book a hotel room. Confirmation of the reservation in the form of a fax will facilitate obtaining a visa abroad. The most economical accommodation option is a hostel. It resembles a hostel - there are several beds in one room, toilet and shower are most often located on the floor. In the "hot" season, it is also better to book places in the hostel in advance.
Step 4
You can also save on food. Give preference to those cafes and eateries where locals eat, as prices in the tourist area are very high. In some European countries, after 3 pm, dinner is no longer served, you have to wait until the evening. Consider the diet of the local population.
Step 5
Don't want to go on standard tours? Try a budget vacation with volunteer work. Usually such programs are designed for students, but there are also options for adults. You will have to work several hours a day, but there will also be plenty of time for rest and entertainment. Volunteers are provided with everything they need - housing and food, in addition, the customer also pays for leisure. All you have to pay for is around € 100 for the registration fee and round trip tickets. The duration of the program is from 2 weeks to 1 month.
