Many times you spend much more money on your travels than you should - but with a few measures and tricks you can obviously reduce your holiday budget. Do you know how to travel cheaply?
The travel season is officially about to start, so we've put together some cheap travel tips to save you a few more days of travel! In many places it is possible to save money with simple tricks.
How to travel cheaply?
Travel with low-cost airlines.
Low-cost airlines have their downsides - they tend to fly at inconvenient times and have strict regulations regarding extra baggage, but they are much more affordable.
You can find a plane ticket even cheaper.
You can visit the website cheaptravel.si, where you can find plane tickets much cheaper.
Travel time is important.
In tourist places, prices change depending on the time of travel, but this does not only apply to plane tickets, but also to accommodation, entrance fees, prices in restaurants... If you can afford the time, it is better to travel when the tourist season is not at its height.
Don't travel by plane.
Traveling by plane is quick and comfortable, but it can be quite inconvenient, especially for Slovenia, when in most cases we have to travel to another airport abroad. If you calculate the time you need to get to the airport, wait for the plane, travel and then disembark again, you realize that traveling by plane can be quite time-consuming, so sometimes a car, bus or train is a better alternative for traveling in Europe.
Limit yourself to visiting restaurants.
Limit your visits to restaurants on vacation - you can also prepare food at home or buy snacks in stores and save a lot of money.
Find out about cash withdrawals abroad.
Before you travel, ask your bank how much it costs to withdraw cash and whether transactions are free when paying with a bank card. If withdrawing cash is quite expensive, go abroad with cash.
Watch the price of phone calls.
The additional costs of travel sometimes surprise many even after they return home. Check with your mobile operator what the prices of their services are abroad and include them in your calculation of travel costs. Use apps like Viber, Messenger, WhatsApp...
Travel as a volunteer.
You can also get to know a foreign country relatively inexpensively by doing work there - you can go on a trip as a volunteer or through this website you apply as help in various works. In exchange for a few hours of work, you get free accommodation and three meals, but this way of traveling also allows you to get to know the environment and people more authentically.
