Changing Weather

The weather tends to be more unpredictable than ever in the fall, making it difficult to plan your trips in advance. Luckily, you don’t have to do this when it comes to staycations. They can easily be planned last minute, based on the current weather conditions in your home country.

Time Management

Unless you’re working remotely, it’s highly likely you’ve used up all your vacation days by this point in time, and longer trips are no longer an option. Luckily, you can still use your weekends to travel and explore the local area because it doesn’t take too long to reach your destination this way.

Budget-Friendly

Another thing you’ll run out of as the year approaches its end is the money. You’ll need to save some cash for the upcoming holidays, and that’s why expensive trips won’t be an option this fall. Staycations are a great idea because they usually come with a lower price tag, especially if you’re traveling with friends and family because you can share the expenses.

Where to Shop

While the city remains synonymous with minimalists, it offers a clean-lined design. The Modern boutique has a rare mix of vintage and French décor ranging from bright-blue champagne glasses to a copper lamp.

Where to Stay

While in Stockholm you can stay at Villa Dagmar, which is a 70-room hotel. It is the first sibling property of the ultra-luxe Hotel Diplomat. Its refined properties are evident in the brightly, light-filled interiors, jewel-toned velvet armchairs, and antique wallpapers. Other draws include a traditional Nordic spa with a Swedish sauna, a flower shop, and direct access via passageway to the Ostermalm Saluhall.

Where to Eat

Anchoring Stockholm’s Nybrogatan Avenue is a beautifully restored food hall. Inside this food hall, you’ll find merchants, including Lisa Elmqvist, a fishmonger to the royal family, and artisanal cheese maker Arla Unika. You can enjoy your lunch at the Bageri Ingrid bakery that snakes down the block. You can get a steamy cup of split-pea soup, thick squares of fudgy apple cakes, and warm vanilla-and-cardamom burns. All these are served through a takeout window.

Free Accommodation

One of the perks of traveling in your home country is that you probably have family members and friends outside of your home town. If they’re willing to host you, you can save a lot of money on accommodation fees, but camping is also an option when you’re exploring nature.

Shorter Trips

The less time you spend on the road, the less money you’re going to waste. You can embark on brief trips on the weekends, and explore nearby places. If your staycation destination is more than two or three hours away from your home town, leave it for some other times when you can take a couple of free days off.

Splitting Expenses

Traveling with a group of people is more exciting and fun, but it’s also a good way to save some extra cash. You’ll have someone to split the cost of gas, food, and logging when you’re not traveling on your own, saving a lot of money along the way.

Choose who you want in your bubble, it should be no more than six people. Then, all six of you should agree to self-isolate from other people for a two week period. Before your staycation begins, each person should receive a COVID-19 test. If everyone’s results are negative, then you are safe to hangout with each other. 

Book an Airbnb or cabin in a secluded area, and bring all of your toiletries, food, and drinks with you. You do not want to have to go to a grocery store and making meals together is a nice way to bond. The main idea is to distance yourself from anyone not in your bubble. 

Crack open a bottle of champagne at midnight and enjoy the New Year. 2021 is going to be great and being able to spend some time with your closest friends while following health protocols, is a nice staycation.

Budget

First, you need to set a budget for the number of days you want to spend on your staycation. If you have a travel fund saved for a fun time abroad, consider using a portion of that fund for a luxurious stay close to home. You can also put away money with each paycheck and go on a budget friendly trip within your own city. 

Location

Research different tourist destinations within your country, or state. Sometimes great boutique hotels or lodges are overlooked because they are close to home. These can be a great place to spend a weekend, learning about where you live. If you live next to the ocean, consider visiting a nearby island. 

Something New

Often the best experiences come out of trying something new. Activities like bungee jumping, skydiving, or even a day spent at the spa can be like going on a holiday. Book a nice hotel or Airbnb for the weekend and get out of your comfort zone.

Zero Planning

One of the best things about staycations is that they’re more spontaneous than regular trips, but there should still be some planning involved. If you only have a day or two on your hands, you’ll be able to cover much more ground with a clear plan in mind.

Skipping Research

Research is an essential part of planning your vacation, and you should never skip this step. Discovering things on the go can be really fun and you should definitely do it, but make sure to do at least some research so you wouldn’t miss out on some amazing places.

No Budget in Mind

Another great thing about staycations is that they’re budget-friendly—as long as you have a budget in mind. Know exactly how much money you want to spend, and make sure to travel with people who are willing to split the cost of gas, accommodation, and food.
