Many believe that traveling without spending a lot of money is practically impossible, but this is not the case. Yes, you can make unforgettable trips, inside and outside Pak working with low budgets and without losing quality.
Want to see how?
1. Pay attention when buying tickets
It doesn’t matter if you’re going to travel by plane, bus or train: the ideal is to do the price research in advance to find lower prices, promotions or discounts.
Specifically in plane travel, it is possible to count on the help of scores, such as miles, to lower flight prices, even flying for free!
2. Hosting can be cheaper
To spend less, one of the best accommodation alternatives that can be found in several cities around the world are hostels (or hostels ).
These simpler accommodations have a much lower price and a more relaxed atmosphere, allowing you to feel comfortable without needing great luxuries.
There are also other types of accommodation, such as shared or seasonal rentals. In these cases, you can rent accommodation, share it with more people or rent an entire house or apartment just for you and your partner (if you have one).
In both cases, research well to find out about accommodation recommendations and where they are located (if they are safe, if they are close to tourist attractions and subway lines, among others).
3. Do good research to study your schedule
Find out how much it costs to visit the museums at your destination, see if you need to buy tickets to access the main tourist attractions and if you will need to take public transport from one corner of the city to the other.
This way, you can evaluate the possibility of getting discounts, discover free entry dates and even think of ways to save on transportation.
4. Know the best exchange houses
If you are traveling abroad, the best way to control your budget is to get a good exchange rate when exchanging your money for the local currency.
Therefore, instead of exchanging everything at the first exchange office you find, choose to do a search in other regions of the city (always remembering to get tips from your hostel staff or other tourists).
5. Save on the hotel by traveling at night
Did you know that a great way to save on hotel or hostel rates is to choose to travel from one city to another overnight? This way, you can rest a little during this break, while saving time by making planned routes for your vacation.
6. Make your own meals
A good way to reduce costs during a trip is to choose to prepare your own meals at the hostel or look for low-cost alternatives, such as dishes of the day and foodtrucks .
Avoid traditional restaurants whenever possible — especially those located in major tourist areas — so you don’t spend a lot of money on just one meal!
7. Value public transport
Those who want to travel on a budget can change renting a car or taking a taxi for public transport and walking.
Take a map to walk, use and abuse buses, the subway and even alternative transport such as bicycles. Research which public transport services are available in the city you are going to visit and use them all wisely.
