Five options for an inexpensive vacation in Russia. How to relax cheaply, saving on flights, accommodation and meals Where to go on vacation budget option

Develop a budget plan. At the very least, you should know the exact maximum amount you can spend on vacation. To manage your money effectively, you should also calculate how much you can spend on every aspect of your vacation, including travel, lodging, food and entertainment. Remember to set aside money for contingencies.

Plan ahead. To buy tickets at the lowest price, it is best to book them about six months in advance. Plus, then you don't have to worry about rising costs if fuel prices rise. In addition, planning ahead increases the likelihood that hotels will still have available inexpensive rooms.

Look for last minute deals. If you can't plan ahead, you can take advantage of last minute deals to save money. As the departure date approaches, the airlines are likely to lower their ticket prices to fill the vacant seats. It's the same story with hotels.

  • This option is only suitable for you if you can take a vacation at any time, as last minute deals usually have very tight time frames.
  • Travel during the off-season. This is not always possible if you have school children, but at such times the price of tours is usually the lowest due to falling demand. The most expensive vacations are during the summer and holidays. The most inexpensive season for recreation is winter, followed by autumn and spring.

    Don't pack a lot of things, especially if you're flying. On most airlines it costs extra money to carry baggage. The initial amount may seem insignificant, but such costs accumulate and eat up a large part of a tight budget. Less luggage means cheaper.

    Live with friends or family so you don't have to pay for the hotel. If you have close friends who live near the chosen vacation spot, then ask if you can stay with them for these few days. For the likely answer to your question to be "yes", ask enough close people with whom you have not seen for a long time.

    Consider inexpensive vacation options. You can go camping, visit the beach or visit various history museums. Most of these activities are not expensive or free at all. They may lack the sleekness of trendy resorts, but they often provide the same rest.

    Travel in groups. Some travel agencies and resorts offer discounts for larger groups. The costs can be divided among all members of such a group, and the cost of living per person will be significantly lower than when traveling alone.

    Spend your vacation at home. Instead of traveling to distant lands, you can spend a vacation in your hometown. Visit places for which you usually do not have time, go to a restaurant that you have been advised for a long time, but still could not manage to visit. This way you can have enough fun and relax, while saving money on gas, air travel and hotel accommodation.

    Look for complete solutions and all-inclusive offers.

    • To save money, you can book your flight and hotel on one of the many travel sites.
    • Look for cruise deals and all-inclusive theme parks. These usually include the cost of accommodation, food and entertainment, which also helps to save money.
  • Don't eat in restaurants. Bring your food and drinks with you by pre-booking your hotel room with a microwave and refrigerator so you can store and reheat food. Eating out in restaurants eats up a significant portion of your vacation budget that can be spent on entertainment.

    Order set meals. If you decide to eat at a catering establishment, go there in the morning or closer to lunch. Lower bids are usually offered during these hours than at lunchtime, when most people arrive. Eat plenty at low prices.

    I have repeatedly faced the need to organize a trip, having at my disposal a very limited budget, so the question is: how to relax cheap , appeared more than once. In no case should you deny yourself travel, and even a difficult financial and economic situation is not a reason to stay at home.

    Everyone needs rest to recuperate, but there is simply no opportunity to simply not attend work for a while. A person needs a "reset" and a change of impressions, and travel is the best suited for these purposes.

    Today I will try to summarize the experience gained and give some tips on how to have a cheap vacation, saving money when organizing a vacation. Let's get started.

    To optimize costs, first of all, it is necessary to determine the direction, since each of them has its own characteristics. For example, flights to Europe will cost you relatively inexpensively, but hotels, food and cultural programs will cost a lot. With countries South-East Asia the situation is diametrically opposite: food and accommodation cost mere pennies here, but you will have to pay a round sum for the flight.

    A separate story with popular tourist destinations such as Turkey, Egypt, Thailand. It also has a lot of its own characteristics that need to be considered.

    "Last minute" tours

    If you want to relax in one of the warm countries of mass tourism, and at the same time want to save money, then I immediately warn you, self-organization of the trip will not help you with this: travel agencies buy services from their overseas counterparties in a complex, which ultimately costs much less. Therefore, the best way out in this case would be to buy a “hot ticket”.

    In fact, this is a win-win way, since there are always such tours, and the following resources will help you find them:,.

    I have gone to rest in this way more than once, and there was not a single case that I did not find a suitable option. At the same time, it happened that I found out the place of visit at the last moment, which gave a trip to a seemingly boring country, a special poignancy. In a word, a real adventure!

    Therefore, if you have a question, how to relax in the summer inexpensively, buying a "last minute" voucher is a real find.

    How to relax cheaply? Travel on your own!

    If you have chosen an exotic country for your vacation or decided to travel around Europe, you can save a significant amount by competently and carefully planning your trip yourself. There are a lot of tricks and tricks here, which I will tell you about.

    If you don't know how to start traveling on your own - get our free email-course "How to Organize the Best Travel on Your Own and Save Money".

    Buying air tickets

    Everyone knows that with early booking a passenger can buy a ticket much cheaper. But even here it is important not to overdo it, because it is not always possible to plan a trip six months in advance.

    For example, I had a case when, in order to save money, I bought a ticket 6 months before departure, then my plans suddenly changed and I had to cancel the flight. And show me at least one low-cost airline that refunds money when a passenger cancels a flight!

    Therefore, the optimal will be buying tickets four months before the trip.

    In addition, it should be noted that ticket prices increase on weekends.

    To buy airline tickets, I most often use aviasales.ru.

    Here you can compare the cost of flights of different airlines, manipulate the dates and terms of purchase, thereby choosing the best option.

    Accommodation reservation

    Housing costs are a significant expense item, so a competent approach to this issue will allow you to spend less on vacation.

    When choosing a home on your own, opportunities are incomparably large compared to a purchased tour: you can live in a tent, camping, trailer, sports and tourist camp, in a hostel, in an apartment, in a house, in a guesthouse, hotel, motel, castle, chalet, penthouse. In short, anywhere.

    If you have chosen a hotel for living, then the best prices are provided by the resource: hotellook.ru.

    But you should remember that along with comfortable living conditions here you will not have the opportunity to cook your own food on your own.

    Therefore, you can use housing from individuals and rent an apartment, house or cottage. A good database of such addresses can be found at the link:.

    Under such a program, I lived in the United States, which I still cannot get enough of: the owners turned out to be very hospitable, decent, cheerful and always helped. And although about two years have passed since the trip, we still maintain contact, communicate via the Internet, recalling a lot of different adventures that we had to "experience" there ...

    Budget food

    If you are traveling in Europe, then food costs make up the lion's share of your budget, a modest lunch in a restaurant rarely costs less than 30 Euros here. Therefore, in order to solve the problem, it is best to prepare the food yourself.

    Well, if you still want to try the local cuisine, then avoid "tourist" restaurants, in establishments that visit local prices much lower.

    In terms of food, the countries of Southeast Asia are a foodie's paradise with huge portions, low prices and a wide range. The main thing is not to forget to ask the waiters so that the dishes are not too spicy.

    Leisure

    You can also save on the cultural program.

    First rule: try avoid buying ready-made excursions at travel agencies, because, in fact, the service is the same, but only prices differ. Therefore, you can buy a bus ticket on your own, get to your destination and buy an excursion directly here or pay an entrance fee.

    By the way, I was very surprised to learn that almost every city has museums where admission is absolutely free on specific days. Therefore, I just go to the site of this or that museum and find out when there is a "free" day. The same applies to zoos, landscape parks and other places.

    Rule two - try avoid shopping in popular tourist spots, the prices here are inflated to the point of indecency, and the same product can be easily purchased in the city. In addition, walks in uninhabited places are much more interesting.

    Now you know how to travel cheap! By following the above guidelines and choosing an inexpensive flight, affordable accommodation and cheap food, you can organize a budget trip and fully enjoy an exciting experience. At the same time, with a competent approach to planning and careful organization of the trip, you can save a lot of money on your vacation.

    When organizing travel, the financial side is one of the first places. Many people try to plan a high quality budget vacation. If you know some secrets, then you can really organize your leisure time for a small amount.

    The most budgetary holiday abroad by the sea

    Experience shows that most often people who want to save money on vacation visit the following countries - Egypt and Turkey, where hotels have their own closed territory, swimming pools and animators.

    The all-inclusive program will give you the opportunity to save well on food. Such a vacation is equally comfortable if it is spent with friends or with children.

    Visiting Turkey can become not only budgetary, but also educational. Istanbul, as a city with two thousand years of history, will interest many tourists.

    In addition, obtaining a visa right at the border significantly saves time spent preparing for the trip.

    Bulgaria is one of the inexpensive countries where you can have a good and relatively inexpensive time. This country is distinguished by cozy hotels and a wide leisure program. A budget vacation at sea with children is the most common here. It is very profitable to rent a family-type room or an apartment with a kitchen. In restaurants, portions are usually quite large, while their cost is much lower than what is asked at the hotel.

    Italy, Greece and Spain can also be categorized as "cheap holidays" if you stay in a 2-star hotel. If you go not for great comfort, but solely for the sake of impressions and the sea, you will be satisfied.

The air temperature at this time of the year reaches +24 degrees, while the cool evening breeze will force you to wear something warm.

    However, you can have a good time and enjoy your vacation, since all excursions are open, and you can swim in the heated pools.

    If you are a fan of alpine skiing, then you can turn your attention to the countries of Eastern Europe. They are gaining in popularity due to reasonable prices and good service. The season at such resorts as Jasna (Slovakia), Boroveu and Bansko (Bulgaria), Kopaonik (Serbia), Kravets and Kanin (Slovenia), as well as Payana Brasov (Romania) starts in early December.

    Bus tours around Europe are relatively inexpensive. More and more tourists are attracted by the Czech Republic and Montenegro. Thanks to the large number of attractions, you simply will not have time to be distracted by not very warm weather.

    Therefore, it will take a long time to follow the sun. But I am glad that in some directions - quite budgetary.

    • In the autumn at the sea there is an opportunity to have an inexpensive vacation on the coast of India, Sri Lanka, Egypt.

    Beach vacation in November with schoolchildrenis certainly relevant during the holidays, and long-distance flights are unlikely to work.

    • Israel and the United Arab Emirates are great destinations for a week-long trip. Warm sea, palm trees, sand and delicious Middle Eastern cuisine will please everyone involved.

    • Prices for tours to Thailand, China, Vietnam are still pleasant out of season, as well as relatively empty beaches.

    Where is better on the other side of the ocean?

    • Cuba - which many associate exclusively with rum, cigars and communist sentiments - will be even more interesting than the Dominican Republic.

    Well, for those who are forced to decide where to go to the sea in November 2019 right here and now, we advise you to go to the tab! With them and in the promoted resorts, you can organize an inexpensive vacation literally the next day.

But you can completely devote yourself to the cultural and educational program along the old streets of the Jaffa region, colorful local bazaars (the Carmel market won us both gastronomically and aesthetically), the longest promenade along the sea and towering shopping centers.

    During the velvet season, pilgrimage tours to Israel become especially popular - it is definitely worth taking a few days to visit Jerusalem and Bethlehem.

    Going to the Dead Sea in November is a good idea, but get ready for a hot spring swimming and mud-salt spa exclusively inside the hotel. The temperature in the sea itself at this time of the year is already 18-19 degrees. Although we scored on this fact, thinking that it was foolish not to take the chance to drift on the water surface and take a couple of classic photos with a newspaper. Cool, yes. The heated hotel pool is much better.

    Egypt in November has always been a classic in beach travel itineraries. However, the suspension of regular and charter flights from Moscow and other cities of the Russian Federation affected the offer of tour packages. So far, you can only buy a tour to Egypt from TezTour. But such an undertaking is not very convenient - arrival at the Cairo airport and then an 8-hour bus transfer.

    So, if you still want to take pictures with the sphinxes and against the backdrop of the pyramids and explore the colorful underwater world of the Red Sea, it's easier to buy tickets and book a hotel yourself.
