It’s time to clear the air about traveling on the cheap. Contrary to what you might think, you don’t have to water down your vacation if you realistically plan what you can afford ahead of time. Here are a few quick tips to get you started.
Perk Up
Check the amenities at your hotel. Many offer services like shuttles to and from the airport, free breakfast, pool and gym access and more, so you can fill your basic needs without spending big.
Don’t Fork It Over
Depending on how many people are on your trip, consider going to a grocery store for breakfast and lunch fixings. That way, you’ll be able to try nice restaurants without dishing out a lot of dough.
Walk or Use Public Transport
Check out the walkability of the city you're visiting. If you don’t think you’ll be able to foot it to all of your must-see sights, many metro sites can help you to map out an easy route.
Timing Is Everything
Consider off-season travel. You'll often find that both air and hotel fares are cheaper than what you would pay at peak tourist times.
Stick to Your Budget
If you have a budget in mind, stick to it, so the happy memories of your travels won’t turn into budgetary regrets.
