Tips to save during the holidays

Travel cheaper

Although we all like to travel, there are many of us with a more than limited budget that requires a lot of expertise to get the most out of it when it comes to plan vacations and enjoy them. That is why it is good to know the tricks to save during the holidays. There are many people who without spending large amounts have traveled through many countries.

If this year you have to tighten your belt for whatever it is, you don't have to give up your vacation. There are many ways to get travel without spending too much. And we are not only talking about transport or accommodation, but also about enjoying during the stay without causing our budget to skyrocket.

Plan the flight purchase

Save on flights

One of the easiest ways to save on the purchase of the flight is travel in low season. It is well known that after high seasons and long weekends, flights drop sharply, so this is the ideal time to choose the flight. Although not everyone has so much freedom when choosing their vacation.

If you have to travel in high season, this is already going to increase the price of any ticket you buy. So the best is do it in advance. Today there are many applications that help you to know the exact moment in which it is best to buy your flight, or that compare with different portals and companies to find the best price. You can even search the apps that find very cheap flights by making links. These can be more cumbersome, because we lose more time, but in return we can save a lot in high season.

Fate counts too

Obviously, the most tourist destinations are going to have a higher price. If one year you have a smaller budget, opt for new emerging destinations in which you can also enjoy without the tourist overcrowding of other places. European cities like Budapest They are an example of this, and we can take a pleasant experience discovering destinations that we had not thought about but that we find really beautiful and interesting. It is another way of opening our minds to new places to visit, without limiting ourselves only to the most popular and tourist trips, to what everyone sees and does.

Save on accommodation

Save on accommodation

In the old days we were just looking for a hotel near the areas we wanted to visit, and this was a narrow search that raised prices. Today there are many more possibilities. Choose the cheapest if you want a low cost trip. If there are several of you, you can choose the formula of renting an apartment, or even if you dare, a home exchange, something that works a lot internationally. The hostels and bed and breakfasts are another option to choose from. Although depending on the country these can be better or worse, so it is always better to look for opinions on the web to know what we are going to find when we arrive at our destination.

Save on food

If you are not very picky, this is going to be easy. The easiest way to save on food is to go to the supermarkets or to the local food in stalls. It is clear that it depends on the country and the type of street food that we can find, since our stomach could suffer, but in any case we always have to look for supermarkets where we can find basic foods for everyone. In addition, this way we will not waste so much time looking for restaurants and places to stop to eat and we will be able to continue enjoying the visits. And if one day you want to find a place to eat something, you always have the international fast food chains at your disposal.

Save on visits

We must always look for the information to see free sites before reaching our destination. In some cities, but not all, the museums are free, as for example in London. But there are others in which there is only one day to see them for free and this usually entails holding on to queues. We decide if we want to wait or pay. On the other hand, there are monuments and things that we can see totally free. As we say, in some they choose a day with little influx to offer free visits, so we can collect all this information so as not to miss the opportunity.

Save on transportation

Save on transportation

This is not always possible, as it depends on the city or the country, but we can almost always find bonuses or cards so that transportation is much cheaper for us. This is other information that we must seek beforehand in order not to arrive and find ourselves paying too much for everything. In cities like London they also offer us facilities in this regard with the Oyster card, which will let us move from one place to another for much less money than if we did not use it. So sometimes it's just a matter of arriving with your homework done.
