Are you looking to make a trip, but are you short of money? This is a very common impasse, since the money is a key piece when it comes to travel and tourism, after all every trip has a certain cost, whether with airfare, accommodation, food or to go and participate in attractions and activities, and it’s not always possible to gather that little money to make a quiet trip without having to worry about how much money you have and will need. However, even when we are broke or can’t spend much, we still want to go out and visit new places, right? And what to do in moments like this, wanting to travel with little money and wanting to make an international trip, which in general, has an above average expense?
For this we have brought the perfect solution for you! We have listed 3 countries to visit with little money that can suit your taste and does not require you to spend a lot to enjoy your stay away! This way, you can take the trip you want even with little money. And if you prefer a more direct guidance, see Holidays in Portugal: How much money do I need? the prices are also great.
3 LOW COST COUNTRIES FOR TOURISM TRAVEL WITH LITTLE MONEY
Separating a short list with three countries whose average price to visit them is around 15 € to 40 € per day, with the cheapest options, of course, we’ll show you how much you’ll need to spend on requirements such as hotels and restaurants, plus some other alternatives. But it’s not because they can be visited on a budget that means low cost is their only differentiator, you can check this out just by knowing which ones they are (and some will even leave you in shock):
- Russia;
- Turkey;
- Albania.
ALBANIA
Summer is a busy time when it comes to tourism, so much so that it is the high season in Europe. So you can imagine how much it must cost to visit these countries, examples of high prices are the Greek and Italian beaches, which are quite fascinating, but the prices are real buckets of cold water; for those without a good reservation is completely unfeasible. Luckily, the solution lies between these two countries, Greece and Italy, and it is Albania, a country with a landscape as beautiful as the coastal areas requested and some of the most beautiful beaches of the entire European continent, and also super affordable prices, such as hotels from 10 € and restaurants from 5 €, and you can even opt for something more luxurious for very low prices!
