If you want to relax "cheap and cheerful", you should plan a trip for this for the so-called "low" or "small" season, which occurs at the end of March and April, the end of September and October, as well as in the winter months. On the coast, many resorts are open all year round, have indoor pools and provide an equally interesting range of entertainment.

Many people love traveling, but consider such leisure as an inaccessible luxury. Victoria Days has prepared material about countries and cities where you can have a good rest and not spend fabulous money.

This article is intended for persons over 18 years of age.

Are you over 18 already?

There are so many in the world interesting places, and there is a desire to visit different corners the globe. I want to Bali, Argentina, America, New Zealand and many more places, but most often after looking at the prices for tickets / hotels or the cost of a package tour, the tour operator’s desire disappears. I can say with confidence that it is possible to relax inexpensively, you just need to know where and at what time it is best to go on a trip.

What is the cost of travel?

  1. Road: airline tickets, train tickets, bus tickets, personal transport.
  2. Accommodation. There are many options where you can live or just spend the night - villas, apartments, hotels, hostels, guesthouses. The price depends on your choice.
  3. Costs for nutrition. You can, of course, go to restaurants every day, but we want to save money, so we need to try to find optimal ratio price quality. You can cook yourself, but it's not the best option: this is still a vacation, and it is unlikely that pleasant memories will remain from it if you spend whole days at the stove.
  4. Excursions. You can go on an excursion on your own, with a guide or not go at all.
  5. Insurance. There is no need to save here. Always buy insurance, at least the minimum.
  6. Souvenirs.

Asian countries

India

It is the leader among Asian countries. For a budget trip, it is best to choose the state of Goa. The "dry season" starts from November and lasts until April. In the north of Goa, you can find good and inexpensive accommodation.

Advice! When booking your stay, always pay attention to the presence / absence of air conditioning. Food in the state is cheap, seafood, Exotic fruits Indian sweets are always fresh and inexpensive. There are a lot of cafes/bars on the beaches, where they will cook fresh for a penny tasty dish. It is definitely not worth wasting time and effort on cooking. It is best to go on excursions on your own: the standard of living in the country is low, so any tourist can afford to travel by train in comfortable conditions.

Thailand

Our tourists like to have a rest in this country very much. If you book your tickets in advance, you can save a lot. For example, a flight from Moscow to Bangkok is long, so you need to understand that you can’t buy a ticket for nothing. But the accommodations are cheap, and the choice is large. Do not be afraid of 2 * or 3 * hotels. This is the best category of hotels for holidays in Thailand. Most often these are small hotels with o medium sized rooms and minimal furniture. Most hotels have a pool.

Advice! The country is exotic, the fauna is diverse, and if you don’t really like lizards and other inhabitants exotic countries, when you check in, ask to settle you above the 1st floor. Meals will cost you inexpensively, you can eat seafood and fruits all your vacation or buy ready-made meals in supermarkets.

Vietnam

Shares leadership with Thailand. The most expensive thing in traveling is air travel, everything else is hotels, meals and excursions. - very budget friendly. If you choose the resorts of Mui Ne and Phan Thiet, then I advise you to mentally prepare for a long transfer from the airport to the resort, and if you are organizing a trip yourself, then it is better to take care of the transfer in advance, since prices at the airport are high.

Bali

Untouched nature, cheap housing, an abundance of fruits attract tourists from all over the world. Dreaming of surfing? You are definitely in Bali.

An incredible number of surf schools are concentrated here. Bali is interesting in that each resort is unique in its own way, you can move from one resort to another every two days. Air travel is expensive, but you can buy tickets with transfers, for example, in Singapore, and thus not only save money, but also visit two completely different places in one vacation.

Cambodia

If you enter in the search engines "the cheapest country to vacation", then one of the first answers will be Cambodia. This direction is becoming more and more popular every year. Everything in the country is indecently cheap, but air travel is expensive, and it is extremely difficult to get cheap air tickets. If you decide to choose a holiday destination in Cambodia, be sure to visit the temple of Angkor Wat.

Uzbekistan

I sincerely recommend visiting this country. Do not be surprised and do not discard this option. I agree that some people love constancy and vacation in the same place year after year. But is it not interesting to see other cities and countries? It is worth going to Uzbekistan if you are interested in excursion programs and you have five days of additional vacation or days off. To come to this country for a longer period, in my opinion, does not make sense.

Samarkand, Bukhara and Khiva - these cities are definitely worth a visit. Mosques, mausoleums, palaces and, Certainly the bazaars are worthy of the attention of tourists.

Europe

Bulgaria

Bulgaria is considered the most budgetary beach destination. This is not surprising. Here it will be interesting for everyone: and youth, and families with children, and lovers of excursions, and for those who want to improve their health.

Prices are low, airfare from Moscow is inexpensive, accommodation too. Many accommodations operate on all inclusive, but you can book a hotel without power - places where you can taste and cheap food, lots of it. The climate is mild and familiar to most residents of Russia, respectively, acclimatization is most likely not will. Flight around 3 hours. Season in Bulgaria short, with June to September. Many tourists after their holidays buy property in Bulgaria (it is inexpensive here, by the way).

Greece

Another beach direction is Greece. You can write about Greece for a long time, it is an amazing country with incredibly hospitable locals. More than 3000 islands, of which 178 are inhabited. Greece is washed by the Mediterranean, Ionian, Aegean, Adriatic, Cretan, Libyan, Thracian seas. Is it worth writing that absolutely everyone can find a place to their liking?

Flying to Greece is not long, there are many airlines, so ticket prices are low. And in Greece itself, prices are moderate, and products are “from their own garden”. Of course, there are expensive islands, such as Kefalonia, and there are also cheap ones, such as Crete.

Advice! It is better to choose a restaurant / cafe away from the city center and without perfectly white tablecloths, according to the principle “the simpler, the tastier”. Portions in restaurants are huge, a lot of money will not be spent on food. " High season» in Greece from the end of May to mid-October, although on some islands, for example, Thassos, it will be comfortable at the end of October.

Montenegro

Montenegro is a country where Russian citizens can travel without a visa. Unfortunately, planes do not fly often, so you won't be able to find budget tickets. But the country itself is inexpensive, you can rent a house away from the sea quite inexpensively. Food prices are quite reasonable.

Czech

Now not about sea, but no less attractive countries. I'll start with the Czech Republic.

One of the cheapest countries in Europe. You can come to the Czech Republic at any time of the year. In summer, the weather is not hot, while in winter the whole country is immersed in Christmas beauty. The farther from the center, the cheaper accommodation, in addition, you can stay in a hostel. The price per night per person is about 10 euros, so be prepared for several other people to share the room with you. You can fly to the Czech Republic just for the weekend, drink delicious beer and try pork knuckle or feel the atmospheric architecture. Many come to the country for treatment, for example, to Karlovy Vary. Compared to the rest of Europe, prices are nicer, but far from low.

Poland

In Poland, you can come to rest all year round. Residents of the western part of Russia love this country very much, because you can get there by car. Food and restaurant prices are low by European standards. Many people come to Warsaw for shopping, other - to buy "sanctioned cheese", others - just take a walk, and some ski here in the winter to budget ski resorts. In almost every city you can see medieval castles. For those who want to have a cheap vacation in Europe, I would recommend starting with Poland.

Hungary

Hungary for some reason does not occupy a leading position in the list of mass tourist destinations. In my opinion, in vain. The country is very interesting and inexpensive.

Vajdahunyad Castleis not the only architectural landmark of the country, there is something to see in Hungary. Lakes and parks will also surprise even sophisticated tourists with their variety. thermal springs or "thermal sea" - that's why tourists come to Hungary in the first place.

Advice! Be sure to visit the Lukács thermal bath, which has not yet become a place of mass tourism. Here you can relax and enjoy the tranquility. You should not leave the country without trying Hungarian goulash. Prices in restaurants and shops will pleasantly surprise you. There are many accommodation facilities, and everyone can choose what they like and can afford.

Armenia

A country with stunning nature, culture, cuisine and delicious wine. Add a cheap flight low prices for housing and food and get a country where you can safely go on vacation. You can plan a vacation at any time of the year: winter is for lovers of skiing and snowboarding, and in summer Lake Sevan awaits tourists. It will be interesting to visit various shrines, for example, Tatev. You should definitely try the delicious local cuisine, the prices are very affordable. And as a souvenir, you can bring the famous ARARAT cognac.

When is the best time to plan a trip to the above countries? If you are planning a trip to seasonal countries, then it is best to choose the very beginning of the season or the end, when mass tourism is just gaining momentum. Read more about this in the article "". If high humidity does not scare you, then you can go to Asian countries out of season. As for European cities, it is best to focus on ticket prices here, since you can relax in them all year round.

1. If you go on a trip at the very beginning or at the end of the season, you can save a lot.

2. If you book a tour with a tour operator, do not be lazy and check the cost of the tour with all tour operators. You can use search engines, for example, RUSPO, but they do not always display information correctly.

3. Prices skyrocket during school holidays and holidays, do not plan your vacation during this period.

4. A good time to travel is the end of November-mid-December and second half of January. Air carriers and hoteliers discount prices before and after the New Year holidays.

5. If possible, do not get attached to the dates, sometimes a couple of days earlier / later than the desired date, air tickets are cheaper.

6. Don't be afraid of connecting flights.

7. When booking air tickets on your own, do not be lazy and search every day, compare ticket prices on different services. On a personal example, I can say: who seeks, he will find. I booked tickets for my friends to the Maldives with a connection in the UAE and Sri Lanka for only 22,000 rubles per person, and they flew with the airline Emirates. So, with the desire and patience, you can relax in expensive countries budget.

8. Browse various search resources, for example, 100500miles . If there is no attachment to dates and directions, you can easily catch a burning tour.

9. The same principle applies to the choice of accommodation: compare prices and track interesting offers.

10. For adventurous and relocating tourists: use the night to move from one place to another, so you can save on hotel nights.

11. You can go on excursions on your own, how to get there can be found on the Internet.

12. Restaurants and cafes are better to choose those where the locals eat. It is also an indicator of the quality of food.

When saving on travel, be prepared for possible (I emphasize, possible) inconveniences. Your attitude is important, and you can ignore small inconveniences. Be positive about everything, and then any trip, no matter how much money you paid, will bring you pleasure!
