]]>Visit During Winter
The weather in Athens can still be pleasant during winter and it is definitely the best time of the year to visit for budget travelers. You’ll not only benefit from cheaper flights and accommodation but will also spend less on access to the city’s biggest tourist attractions. The majority of the archaeological and historical sites as well as monuments and museums offer free admission every Sunday from November to March and reduced ticket prices for the rest of the week.
Walk Everywhere
Athens can be easily explored on foot, reducing the need for using taxis and public transportation. Most points of interest are within walking distance of each other, while the city’s infrastructure is pedestrian-friendly.
Eat Where Locals Eat
You can save a lot of money by skipping overpriced restaurants and eating where locals eat. These include tavernas and mageirias, which are small eateries that serve local food, and gyro joints, where you can enjoy the most popular Greek street food creation.
Take Advantage of Free Drinkable Water
You won’t need to pay for water in Athens. The city has drinkable and high-quality tap water, meaning that you should only bring a reusable water bottle to remain hydrated. Additionally, all restaurants and bars will happily provide free water upon request.

]]>Be Savvy About Accommodation
Even in Europe’s pricier destination, the hostel system means there is always an affordable place to stay, and some hostels are truly fantastic. During the summer, university accommodations are also a cheap option in some countries. If you’re traveling during the peak summer months, it’s important to book in advance.
Take the Train
Getting around by train is the best option when traveling through Europe, and you will get to appreciate the diversity of the continent at ground level. Plus, you can make longer journeys overnight and sleep on the train, which will save costs for accommodation.
Eat Like a Local
A backpacking budget shouldn’t stop you from savoring the many great cuisines of Europe. If you skip the tourist traps and stick to locals’ recommendations, you’ll find plenty of affordable and worthwhile foodie experiences.
Get Outdoors
When traveling through Europe, it can be tempting to go on a capital cities tour—but you’ll be missing out on a lot. Europe has much to offer in terms of the great outdoors – from Bulgaria’s Rila Mountains to Portugal’s beautiful Alentejo coast (and everything in between).

]]>If you’re tired of spending top dollar on plane tickets, here are some tips that will help you fly cheaper!
Search for Flights Using Private Browsing
Did you know that airline websites use your cookies to monitor your search activity and often raise prices on tickets based on your internet browsing history? Use a private browsing mode to keep the prices from raising based on this practice.
Buy Tickets on Tuesdays or Wednesdays

Check Out Google Flights
Google Flights is an awesome tool that helps me to find cheap flights on a regular basis. It gives you all kinds of neat tools like price trends and “explore mode” that helps you look for cheap destinations on the days that you have available for vacation.
Sign Up for Email Lists
