There is nothing like taking a summer vacation to a new place, but it can burn a hole in your pocket. Depending on the place you choose to visit and the airfare plus the Hotels, altogether can make your trip very expensive. Here we’ve curated a list of destinations around the globe where you can spend your summer vacations on a budget.
Mid Coast Maine
If you prefer rocky coastlines and too-good-to-be-true Lobster rolls, this is the place for you. Till date, this is one of the favourite American holiday destinations, the costs might seem daunting at first but if you do your research well and book your tickets in advance you can get great deals on hotels even during the peak summer season. Broaden your searches from the popular tourist destinations and you will come across some beautiful locations which are way less crowded.
Croatia
There seems to be a thought going around that Croatia is an expensive destination. This is partly true if you are planning to rent a yacht and sail around for the Yacht week. But if you plan to take the cheap ferry rides to get around for island hopping then you are in for great deals. Renting cars is also extremely affordable in Croatia also the stay through Airbnb will help to keep your budget on track.
Albania, Europe
Pricey Mediterranean destinations can dig a huge holes in your wallets, but if you want to travel to Europe in Summers on a budget then Albania is the place you should book your tickets for. There are so many less travelled places where you can enjoy.
Lisbon, Portugal
If you are looking for castles and palaces to spend your summer at, then this is the best place for you. You can spend a family vacation in Lisbon hopping from castles to neighbourhoods and visiting beaches and the city all at once.
Wales
Wales wouldn’t typically make it to the cheap summer destination list. But if you plan and book well in advance and take smart decisions like renting a bike then it will definitely be an amazing holiday in the United Kingdom on a budget. You can try surfing here or ride along the shore on a bike.
