1. Travel on your own.

Traveling on your own (without travel agencies) is much more interesting and cheaper. Yes, you must remember that all responsibility for any problems will be on your shoulders. However, travel agencies are often unable to help in such situations, so they blame the airlines, unforeseen circumstances, the country you are visiting, and so on.

2. Plan your trips.

The earlier you plan your trip, the cheaper it will be. This applies to air tickets, train tickets, hotels, and tickets to various events, concerts, and festivals. In European countries, they start selling tickets a few months before the departure date. It is quite possible to buy tickets for 2-3 times cheaper than the standard price if you do it in the first days of sales.

3. Save money on transport.

The cost of moving from point "A" to point "B" is one of the most expensive things during any trip. There are many different websites where you can find information about sales and discounts for air tickets, train tickets, bus tickets, accommodation rentals, or car rentals. Such sites usually do not sell anything, and they do not provide any travel services. They simply provide sales and discount information with links to the original websites. When you select what you need, you go directly to the company's website to book a hotel or buy tickets yourself.

4. Look for different ways to buy cheap flights.

One blogger who has already visited 35 countries on different continents has developed excellent strategies for finding and buying cheap air tickets. It prompts you to go to the official website of the airport in your destination city. There you can check which airlines depart for that city and choose the one that departs from your city or the airport closest to you. Then go to that airline's website to see if they have any tickets available right now.

5. Save money on a transfer from the airport to the hotel.

You can get to the city from any airport in the world at a very low cost using a bus instead of a taxi. We recommend that you check the airport website in advance and find out which buses go to the city center and where the bus stop is located.

6. No hotels.

Blogger Vitaly Klimov traveled from western Russia to Africa on a bike and travels across Europe, spending less than 7 euros a day. Klimov recommends choosing hostels if you are traveling alone or with friends. They are cheap and you will have the opportunity to meet new people. By spending time with them, you can also improve your foreign language skills.

If you are traveling with your family, you should choose an apartment.

First of all, you can save a lot of money on food. Of course, you can go to a restaurant several times during your trip, because tasting local food means getting to know another culture. But buying groceries in the supermarket and cooking them yourself is much cheaper. If you are traveling in Russia, then it makes no sense for you to try the local cuisine. It is better to get a card from some supermarket (for example, https://karta5.ru/) and save on purchases while staying in another city.

And yet, if you stay at a hotel, you will get the opportunity to become a guest of the city. But if you stay in an apartment, you will live like a local: you go to the supermarket, you buy food on the street, and you have your own door key.
