How to Travel on a Budget
Travel more while spending less. Practical tips for budget-conscious travelers: booking, transportation, dining.
Travel doesn't have to be expensive! With the right approach, you can see the world without emptying your wallet. The main thing is to know a few important savings secrets.
The first rule of budget travel is to book everything in advance. Plane tickets often cost 2-3 times cheaper if you buy them 2-3 months in advance. Use aggregator sites to find the best prices on accommodation. Consider options like hostels, guesthouses or Airbnb instead of hotels. Many cities have free walking tours — a great way to get to know the city and get useful tips from locals.
As for food — eat where the locals eat. Restaurants in tourist spots are always more expensive. Buy products at markets and cook yourself if possible. Use public transport instead of taxis. And remember: the best travel experiences are often free — walks around the city, sunset on the beach, conversations with people.
