I’ve searched so many places on the net on the cheapest way to get to Europe. I’ve learned that traveling to Europe doesn’t have to be as expensive as you might expect it to be. In fact, there are a number of ways that you can save money without missing out. We have a guide on how to travel to Europe on a tight budget that’s allowed us to visit over 21 countries in the past two years!
Know When to Go.
It may surprise you, but when you travel to Europe will have a huge impact on how much you spend while you’re there, especially when visiting the most popular tourist attractions.
During the summer months when more people are traveling, many places raise their prices, so you’re likely to pay more. By going in the late spring or early fall, you’re much more likely to save money.
An additional bonus to traveling to Europe in the off-season is that you’ll encounter fewer tourists and more locals.
Know How to Go.
When staying in a city for a few days, you can save money by taking public transportation which you can do freely with a city welcome card.
When going to a new city or country, look for budget bus lines or take the night train to save money.
You can get find buses and trains going to and from nearly anywhere in Europe, making it a great budget travel option.
Know Where to Stay.
It’s no secret that hotels are expensive, especially when you’re planning on being somewhere for a while.
A cheaper option is hostels, but even those can quickly eat through your travel budget. Instead, try house sitting. You’ll not only be able to stay somewhere for free, but you’ll also save money in other ways like being able to cook in the kitchen instead of eating out. House sitting might also give you the chance to stay in luxurious housing that you otherwise would not be able to afford.
It can be complication process to get started, research first and see how to become a house sitter so you can reduce your cost and have the opportunity to stay in some luxury homes!

Many of these little eateries have much cheaper options than the more well-known restaurants, so you can save money without sacrificing an authentic dining experience in whatever country you happen to be in at that time.
Know What to Do.
There are a ton of free things to do in Europe, so you can easily find something to do for free no matter where you go. Look online for free activities or stop by the welcome center as soon as you arrive in a new town and they should be able to provide you with a ton of information about cheap and free activities you can enjoy.
