13 Days, 4 Cities in Europe ✈️

2025/1/22 Edited to

... Read morePlanning a budget-friendly Eurotrip can be challenging, but with the right strategy, you can enjoy multiple cities without overspending. Start by researching budget airlines and apps like Student Universe, which can help you score discounted flights. Traveling by bus or train within Europe is often cheaper than flying, with fares ranging from $20 to $60. Don’t forget to explore local public transportation for an authentic experience. Street food and local cafes offer delicious meals under $10, which is a great way to taste the local culture without splurging. While staying in hostels, take advantage of communal spaces to meet fellow travelers and share experiences – many hostels offer beds for just $5-30 a night! For activities, consider using platforms like GetYourGuide and Hostelworld to find discounts tailored to solo travelers. A cost breakdown of the trip also helps—total expenses for 13 days, including flights, accommodation, food, and activities, were around $1,505, averaging $75 a day. With careful planning and these tips, you can create an unforgettable journey through Europe that’s kind to your wallet!

Prior to this trip I just went on, the last time I was in Europe was over two years ago. So of course with this trip, I had to take advantage of every minute, which meant a jam packed itinerary. Whether you’ve been to Europe before or this will be your first time, this is the perfect Italy focus
