Europe is packed full of destinations that are perfect for a cheap holiday abroad. European countries such as France, Spain, Germany, Italy and many more are ideal affordable holiday destinations, with both coastal beach resorts and inland cities to choose from. It makes sense that the closer you stay to home, the more likely it will be that your break will cost less. This is mainly due to cheaper travel options, such as driving yourself there, catching a budget flight or opting for cross-country trains. You might find your best option is to fly to a main city and then drive or catch a train to smaller places surrounding it. This way you’ll have a better choice of flights and more availability tends to mean lower costs. Driving or getting the train also provides a great opportunity to really see the country you are visiting, as well as those you may pass through on the way. Make sure you pre-plan everything and purchase what you need before you go, such as rail passes and early booking offers. This will prevent you from being stung with extra costs when you arrive, which could result in your cheap holiday abroad becoming less of a bargain! Researching online will also help you dig out the local secret spots that will make your holiday much more interesting. If you can, go outwith the main holiday seasons, particularly school holiday dates, to avoid considerably inflated prices. Our European neighbours often fare better than the UK when it comes to climate, leaving you with more year-round options for good weather. June and September are good months for a chance of sunshine, whilst also missing the hectic summer holiday months of July and August. The way to make your holiday fit your budget is to opt for the things you want and can afford. There are many cheaper accommodation options available, including camping, hostels, hired homes and low budget hotels. You can also save money on transportation by opting not to hire a car. Public transport is there to be used and as long the country you’re visiting is safe, the chances are that the public systems will be reliable and useful. Hire bikes or explore on foot for a chance to escape busy crowds and head further afield to discover hidden gems. You also don’t have to splash your cash on expensive excursions and entrance fees. Search out the activities, museums and attractions with free admission and plan your own tour of the area. This will save you cash and give you the freedom to really see what you want to see!
