• Stay in hostels: Instead of spending a fortune on hotels, you can look for cheap hostel stays or Airbnb homestays. Compared to traditional hotels, such options will help you save a lot of money that can be well spent on other experiences.

• Take advantage of public transport: Use buses, metros and trams instead of taxis. Many countries offer tourist passes for major public transportation facilities. If visiting multiple countries, you can consider a Eurail pass that helps to explore 33 countries with just one pass.

• Eat local food: Avoid expensive tourist restaurants. Instead, try local bakeries, street food stalls and markets for tasty and cheap meals. By cooking just one meal a day yourself, you can save a lot of money while traveling. Several hostels allow tourists to access their kitchens.

• Look for free attractions: Museums often have free entry days. You can use this opportunity to plan your stay accordingly. Many parks, viewpoints, churches and historical sites are also free to visit, making them a great option for your sightseeing plans.
