This is HOW TO GET CHEAP TRAVELINGS TO EUROPE
1. DO A RESEARCH
Plan Your trip properly. Buy good guide books such as "Lonely Planet Europe on a Shoestring", or ask on the mailing list/forum/acquaintances who've been there. Make a travel itinerary in detail so that you can book transportation and lodging are far-away days earlier so it can be priced more cheaply. No need to be too ambitious to visit many cities or countries in a short time because it will be more expensive. Living in the suburbs or in rural areas will be more frugal. The streets in Eastern Europe are cheaper than Western Europe. Budget around € 40 per day in Western Europe, except in Switzerland which is super expensive. Eastern Europe is cheaper, budget around € 30/day, except Russia and Ukraine. This budget enough for accommodation, meals, and local transportation ride. Buy direct the Euro currency from Indonesia.
2. TRAVELING IN THE RIGHT SEASON
Provide a minimum time of 2 weeks. If less than that same as wasting your time and energy for nothing. Not worth it with the cost of plane tickets. Don't go to Europe at a time of peak season, June to August when it's summer so many local people on vacation. Do not also go in the weeks approaching Christmas and new year. In addition to the cornucopia of human beings everywhere, long line, prices bounced up, hard to also get lodging and transportation. The Europeans, especially France and Italy, really appreciate the quality of life. They will be stoic closed shop or hostel to enjoy the holidays with her family.
3. HUNTING FOR THE CHEAPEST AIRLINE TICKETS
The largest expenditure to Europe there at prices from Indonesia. Make sure you hunt tickets away the previous day. If you have a Frequent Flyer reward points, take advantage of her by getting a free ticket as close as possible to the destination city. Try to take the open jaw ticket, it means to go and return from different countries. For example, go to Frankfurt home from Rome. Thus when you've been to Rome, no longer need to waste time and funds to return to Frankfurt. Flights between cities/countries in Europe shall be attempted. With the rise of low-cost airlines, like Ryan Air or Easy Jet, will far save you time and cost compared to a train ride.
4. UTILIZE' or ' STAY AT THE HOSTEL
The most cost-efficient stay if there a place to utilize in the home of a relative or friend in there. If you're confident, could also stay for free at the home of a person who can be known to us through couchsurfing.com. But if you want can be a lot of fellow travelers and lazy indebted, stay at the hostel. Cheapest if sleep in the dorm, ' rame-rame ' one room in bunk beds with bathroom amenities. Count the price per bed per night. The message can be via hostel online from websites that feature information about the hostel.
5. SLEEP AT NIGHT TRAIN
To cross the countries in Europe, the most effective and efficient train ride. To save on the cost of your stay, take a night to train until the next day so as not to have to pay the residence again. European train cars divided into 3 types with the most expensive to cheapest sequence, i.e. a Sleeper consists of 4 beds in 1 compartment Couchettes, which consists of 6 beds, and a Compartment consisting of 6 people (3-3) in the 1st compartment. When you plan to go to many countries in Western Europe, we recommend that you buy a Eurail Pass in the form of train ticket sign-on to all EU countries. This Canal ticket not valid for European citizenship so not sold there. In Indonesia could buy at the travel agent or buy online at eurail.com. But if only traveling 3 countries or only to Eastern Europe, better buy a ticket ' retail' directly at the station.
6. EAT AT STREET STALLS
Eat at the restaurant obviously expensive, and we have to pay a service charge along with the tip. The solution is better to buy a meal at street stalls away. The common people, for the size of the roadside hawker in Europe, is quite rich. The choice of sausages, burgers, kebabs, crepes, etc., with a large portion. If you want to eat a rather heavy, take advantage of the hostel which provides a package of breakfast or dinner at a bargain price. The price of food and drink at the hostel guaranteed cheaper than outside. Want cheaper again? If the hostel has a kitchen, shop for groceries at the supermarket and then cook at the hostel, such as frozen food, sandwiches, eggs. Rice is expensive in Europe, including at the hostel was not provided with a rice cooker. So courage to forget to eat rice. Eating there is also a trick. Great meal twice a day for 15 days and 6 pm, or 2 pm and 9 pm. Among other things, buy snacks or bread at the supermarket. If loss-averse, take your dry food as instant noodles, chili sauce, as well as instant coffee.
7. CARRY THE BOTTLE DRINK
A bottle of white water in Europe the price could reach 2 euros . So it's better to bring a bottle of drinking water in faucets and refill, get in the water fountain or in public toilets. No need to worry, the water can be drunk directly there. Furthermore, the pure water that's healthy right?
8. MINIMIZATION OF ADMISSION
Entry monuments, museums, attractions, the price of the ticket is not cheap. Then go to where you really want to go. If just want to make photos make the envy of friends, it is better not to have to go up to the Eiffel Tower – simply stand in front of him without paying a ticket. Many activities are free of charge in Europe, for example, walk down the pedestrian and the Canal, hanging out in the plaza, watching buskers, or picnic in a public park. Look for info from the hostel or a fellow traveler of the museum which is free or even free discotic sponsored nightclubs. If you have a strong determination to enter all places tourist destination and staying more than 4 days in a city, buy a ticket sign-on. E.g. Paris or London Sightseeing Pass Pass that includes hundreds of museums, galleries, attractions, free guidebooks, including even the public transport such as the metro and buses.
9. TRAVEL LIGHT
So cheap and easy, the luggage aircraft do not more than 15 kg handbag and not more than 7 kg. Most practical carrying backpacks, then a maximum of 10 kg so that baseball mind. Do not carry the most clothing and footwear, a suitable season in order not to have to buy it again. Rajinlah washing clothes. Bring the detergents of washing clothes and Indonesia by hand 1-2 piece bathroom because usually, all hostel prohibits washing clothes in the washing machine if not the coins. For practice, bring a disposable inner and then discarded. Still feeling mind carrying a backpack? When planning a day trip to a place, please place items in a locker is provided at the train station. Bring only the essential, such as wallets, cameras, documents, a small cell phone inside the bag.
10. THE YOUNGER THE CHEAPER
The age was influential with cheap travel in Europe. When you are younger than 25 years old then you will get a discount of 35% for Eurail Pass. If you are still in school, take advantage of the student card. With that card can be up to 50% discount in the museum and other sights. Students are not limited to HIGH SCHOOL only, but also for Diploma students. So even though for the old one, the cheap possibility is still there, the origin of the student's status. Unfortunately, not all places accept student card, then from now on make ISIC card (International Student Identity Card).
