We talk about the cheapest countries in Europe for travel: where to fly inexpensively and how not to be bitten by prices?
Europe is not only for fat wallets! We, yesterday's students, were convinced of this, and we will demonstrate this to you, reader. For life (in the sense, permanent) it is expensive, but for a week-long trip it can take pity and “rob” for only 22,000 rubles.
What kind of cheap Europe is this, you ask? 🙂 Welcome to explore and calculate expenses!
Where is it cheapest in Europe?
Free observation deck at the Printemps department store - but
are you looking at the photo on the right? 🙂
“Budget” and “Europe” – 0% compatibility. And this is actually true if you hunt for 5* hotels and foie gras somewhere in France, Switzerland or Italy. But there are countries that can offer relatively inexpensive holidays for tourists.
It may or may not be a coincidence, but the cheapest countries in Europe are those where the euro as a national currency has not yet taken root: Bulgaria, Poland, Romania, Hungary. But! Applies only to Eastern Europe, because... The North, for example, is also “non-European”; the amounts are shocking.
Montenegro, Spain and Finland are also contenders for the title of chip destinations, but, of course, they cannot be compared with those indicated above.
Traveling as a tour or on your own?
Russian tourists are at a disadvantage, with the euro exchange rate under 80 and cheap European cities are turning into simply moderate prices. Here you will not only think - on your own or on a ticket - but in general, do you dare? 🙂
The rule that we have developed over the 25 countries we visited: it is cheaper to go on a tour if your plans are for one location and a specific goal. For example, a beach holiday on the Costa Brava. “Samotour” in this case will hit your wallet harder. And if there are two or more countries/cities on the must-visit list, then it is better to show your organizational skills.
The season plays an important role. In the summer, especially in July and August, with the influx of vacationers, the price tags increase. In the fall, European cities return to their usual routine, and costs are significantly reduced. Therefore, we fly to the same Spain in October.
Yes, yes, everyone chooses their own convenient method of preparation. But we can’t help but talk about the services through which we organize our budget trips around Europe.

HOW TO SAVE ON YOUR TRAVEL?

For convenience, all prices are indicated in euros, and rubles are calculated at the rate €1 = 78 rubles
Note: in 2018, eleven Bulgarian beaches were awarded the Blue Flag; this means that they are clean and properly equipped. Coupled with the inexpensive “everything”, this fact makes Bulgaria the cheapest country for a summer holiday.
Flights: from Moscow to Burgas (if by the sea) or Sofia (if for walking) round trip ≈12,000 rubles per person. It’s not that there’s a cheap option to get to Europe, but look further ↓

Freedom Bridge in Budapest
First time to Europe? Or in the hundred and first, but “Hungary” sounds somehow dubious? Then this is definitely the place for you! In the capital of Hungary, Budapest, it is easy to fall in love with the European atmosphere, majestic, slightly shabby history, but always carefully combed and civilized. It’s not for nothing that Budapest is called the second Paris (only it has no intention of emptying your wallets and credit cards)!
In theory, the tourist season is from June to August, in fact – all year round. Preferably April-May/September-October.

48,000 rubles for 7 days – with tickets
The desire to travel the world and discover new countries makes you imagine how expensive it can be. The main questions also arise: where can I go with my budget? Will these places you can travel to on the cheap be impressive? Can I travel the world without spending more than $30 per day?
In this article, I want to show that traveling the world and discovering new destinations is not as expensive as you think. That there are amazing, beautiful and cheap resorts in the world where you can travel cheaply and discover wonderful places.
Next cheapest countries for traveling, they are perfect for those who want to have a good and, most importantly, inexpensive vacation. Of course, the concept of “cheap” is very relative and what is cheap for some people may not be cheap for others. But if ten or two dollars a day means “cheap” to you, then these places in Asia and Central America are what you need.
Cheap countries in the world for an unforgettable trip
With beautiful temples, ruins of ancient civilizations, beautiful beaches and landscapes, Thailand is one place every traveler should visit at least once in their life and immerse themselves in the local culture, framed by Buddhism and the friendliness of its people. And the great news is that you can do it for less than $26 a day, making the country one of the cheapest to travel to in Southeast Asia. For example, you can enjoy delicious Pad Thai for under $2 at street markets and find accommodations for around $5 a night.
2. Cambodia
If you are one of those travelers who would like to explore ruins and feel like Indiana Jones or Lara Croft, you can't miss Cambodia. Cambodia is the cradle of the Khmer Empire, with attractions such as the largest temple complex Angko located near the city of Siem Reap, this country will impress you every day. And all this without spending more than $30 a day: for example, you can enjoy a refreshing beer on Pub Street for $1 or eat delicious Amok for $3 at the street markets.
3. Costa Rica
Another one on the list “ The cheapest countries in the world ” Costa Rica is a republic in Central America, quite developed and politically stable. A few euros a day is enough to survive in Costa Rica, which can be a real pleasure. You can buy excellent food in restaurants for 3 euros or less. And to save more, you should buy food at local markets. As for housing, it is quite possible to rent a house for 150 € per month, although prices are higher in the capital.
The country has 12 different climate zones and rich wildlife. The most characteristic is the tropical and warm climate, and the friendliness of its people.
4. Belize
Dreams of an inexpensive trip to paradise can come true in Belize, considered one of the most beautiful countries in Central America.
It has everything for relaxation: subtropical climate, amazing beaches and diverse fauna. This is an ideal place for divers. The Belize Coral Barrier offers 127 offshore islands with one of the best preserved marine ecosystems in the world. The cost of living there is not similar to Costa Rica. A large house in the Cayo area, which is an hour's drive northwest of the capital, can cost around €220 per month (€70 per month if accompanied by a few friends).
Food is inexpensive, especially if you buy local products. Imported ones are usually 50% more expensive, so to spend less money, you should shop at local markets.
5. Peru
One of the richest places in culture and landscape diversity in South America, it is also one of the cheapest tourist destinations on this continent. Without spending a lot of money, you can visit such beautiful places as Machu Picchu, the islands of Lake Titicaca or Colca Canyon, while at the same time enjoying delicious Peruvian cuisine. You can live in Peru from 30 US dollars per day.
This is one of those countries where you can travel aimlessly and will always find something to do. Nepal is a contrast of religious beliefs, cultures, races, colors and spectacular landscapes like the Himalayas that leave surprises around every corner. Everything in Nepal is very cheap and easy to travel with a budget of $20 per day, but if you plan to climb the bases of Everest, the budget may increase. For example, traveling in a group will cost about $25 per day. Agree, this is not a lot of money for such pleasure.
7. Bolivia
One of the South American travel destinations that is gaining momentum among travelers, Bolivia, with its cheap prices and beautiful scenery (like the incredible Lake Uyuni) is definitely worth a visit.
While airfare can be expensive, staying in India is one of the cheapest anywhere in the world. Here you can find a modest and safe place to stay for $4 per night, and spend no more than $20 per day. Food is also very economical and varied, as there are restaurants in the country to suit every taste. The best thing is that there are hundreds of attractions to visit in India. This is an amazing country, full of culture and impressive historical monuments. The people and their customs are always in the spotlight. It is worth noting that India is worthy not only of the list but also “The most interesting tourist destinations in the world.”
All of Ecuador is a real spectacle. There's something for everyone here: beautiful beaches, impressive biodiversity, nostalgic towns with great historical value. Not to mention the notorious friendliness and hospitality of the Ecuadorian population. And, of course, a big plus is that Ecuador is on the list of the cheapest countries in the world. A room in a normal hotel can cost in the $8 per night range. Food, entertainment and travel around the country are also very cheap.
Laos is another country in Southeast Asia, located between Myanmar, China, Vietnam, Cambodia and Thailand. In terms of tourism, Laos offers attractions similar to its neighboring countries: lush natural surroundings, ancient temples and an exotic atmosphere.
Travel there is not as cheap as it was a few years ago, but it is still an inexpensive country of choice for young tourists looking for fun and adventure.
There are new inexpensive and good hotels. However, prices for food and transportation have increased, but the quality of these services has not improved. In Laos you can spend a day on a budget of 25-30 euros, which includes accommodation, food and walking. But one of the disadvantages of Laos, compared to countries such as Thailand, the Philippines, Malaysia and Bali, is the lack of medical infrastructure: few hospitals and those of poor quality.
P.S. If you think that the cheapest countries are not for you, then look at the beauty, for example, of Costa Rica:

- Sri Lanka. The island is known as Ceylon. Here, a traveler can walk through a real wild jungle or dive into the warm waters of the Indian Ocean.

Pack your bags, guys! website I found 15 fabulous places where living is cheaper than we imagine. Of course, they all have their flaws, but the eternal sun and blue water outshine them.
Indonesia
In addition to the fact that you can eat, pray and love in Indonesia, you can also simply live here affordably. And live on a fairly low budget. Prices here are very affordable: you can eat for less than $1, live for $150 a month, but you can only work via the Internet, since there is a very high unemployment rate here.
Cambodia
What's the catch? This is not a clean beach island where you will lie under an umbrella for days on end. The wild local beach is sometimes “decorated” by packs of stray dogs or other forest inhabitants. Just right for those who want to live away from civilization.
Vietnam
The southeastern coast of Vietnam is famous for its 11 thousand hectares of tropical forest. And this is perhaps the best place in Asia for diving and spearfishing: there is a huge barrier reef. And even on weekends these places are free of tourists.
Laos
Laos is a country in Southeast Asia known for its beautiful mountains, Buddhist monasteries and rubber boat rafting with stops at cafes and bars.
Thailand
Even though this place is very popular among tourists and is a little more expensive than other Asian countries, prices in Thailand are still not that high compared to many European countries.
India
A densely populated country with the Taj Mahal, famous caves, forts and temples, and a holy cow. In addition, it is also a very good place to live from an economic point of view. Just $100-110 is enough to rent an apartment here for a month for two. A plate of hot rice with chicken here can cost only 40 rupees - that's about 60 cents; for a full meal you'll have to pay $1-2.
Nepal
Mystical Nepal is renowned as the center of spirituality in Asia, and path-seekers travel here from all over the world to meditate and soak up the unique atmosphere of the place. Those who do not crave enlightenment also go to admire the beautiful mountains, stunning temples and ancient pagodas. Nepal is a paradise for budget travelers. Food expenses here can be limited to $1 per day. Of course, if you go to restaurants, it will be more expensive, but the most expensive dishes here cost at most $8, and renting a one-room apartment (Kathmandu) costs $1-2 per day. Public transport here costs up to $0.2.
China
China is a land of contrasts, with picturesque rural landscapes and crowded urban metropolises, with natural beauty that spans the wild and untamed plains of the Gobi Desert and the northern peak of Everest.
Even though China is a huge country, it is quite easy to get from one place to another. Traveling around the country will not exhaust you as much as in other countries. And taxis in most cities are especially cheap - $1 for a short trip. And you can have a hearty lunch here for just $2.
Bulgaria
The most inexpensive countries to live in have nothing in common with this state - housing here is expensive, but in comparison, for example, with Switzerland, holidays in Bulgaria are very economical. It's just as beautiful as France, but a bottle of beer costs just $0.80 and you can rent an apartment here for just $200 a month.
Nicaragua
Nicaragua is a real budget paradise for those who like to save money. In this country, everything is cheap, from food to rent. However, the minimum cost of living does not mean that you will have to sacrifice the quality of life to which you are accustomed at home. $995 will be enough to rent a large apartment, pay bills and food for two, afford small entertainment (cinema, for example), and even invite a cleaning lady three times a week.
