1. Picnic – This continent has a number of shops where you can buy pre-made sandwiches or ingredients to make your own. Buy some cuisine, eat outside, and watch the city. It’s a much more exciting and cheaper way to eat.
2. Eat local and cheap – Not into picnicking? Eat at local sandwich shops, pizza huts, Maoz, Wok to Walks, and outdoor street stalls. Avoiding restaurants and eating at a lot of the local “grab n’ go” sites give you a taste of the local cuisine at a cheaper price.
3. Stay with a local – Hostels can add up really quickly. If you don’t have any relatives with whom you can stay, consider using Couchsurfing, which connects you with locals who let you stay with them for free. It’s a great way to save on habitation and meet a local who can share their insider tips and advice.
4. Take the bus – Budget bus companies like Flixbus can take you across the continent for cheap. It isn’t glamorous, but with tickets starting at 5 EUR, you really can’t regret!
5. Get a Rail Pass – Eurail Passes have saved me hundreds of dollars. If you are traveling beyond the horizon and through many countries, they are an excellent deal.
