Comments on: 5 Simple Ways to Beat Your Travel Budget http://www.vagabondish.com/5-tips-beat-budget-travel/ The Travelzine for Today's Vagabond Fri, 19 Mar 2010 18:51:34 -0700 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.5 hourly 1 By: Anna http://www.vagabondish.com/5-tips-beat-budget-travel/comment-page-1/#comment-7452 Anna Wed, 02 Jul 2008 16:10:31 +0000 http://www.vagabondish.com/?p=1971#comment-7452 Interesting article, but advices which might be new and fresh for tourists from US or Western Europe are quite obvious for people from Eastern Europe :). We've benn cutting the costs since the borders have been opened. and it's nice that Author has mentioned Kraków, Poland as a place to visit. I live quite close to it and I can say that maybe it's as big and 'west-european' as Paris or Rome but has great historical architecture. Crowds of Japanese tourists can proove it. So, if you'd like to visit Poland I reccomend also cities like Wrocław, Gdańsk or Warsaw.

I would like to add that in many cases buying food in small delis and grocery stores can be much better than eating in a restaurant catered to tourists. More often than not the servings are extremely small and not filling AND expensive. Dennis Czigler www.europetraveltours.net Great advice.

You're closer to residential neighborhoods where you can really feel what normal life is like. I love staying a little bit out of the city center.

There are some very useful ideas here. One thing: I live in the Czech Republic and 1 dollar = 16-17 Czech crowns. That's not enough to buy a beer, but maybe just enough to buy a pizza on the street. I think the zloti estimate is mostly correct. Thought that oughta be corrected. Generally a great article. There are some very useful ideas here.

A bit of an update though, the roma pass mentioned in number 2 is actually only 20 Euro not 25 like I had previously wrote...even better!! It sure saved me a lot of money last week.

If you choose a location away from the center of things and share with friends, it can be very cost-effective and you can save tons of money on food by cooking in. Plus, I love having "my" grocery store, "my" pub, "my" local park. It's the best make believe ever.

I'll stick to Barcelona.
