Luckily, there are places that don't cost too much money, and we highlight those that seem the most promising for a good trip. If you are looking for new and interesting but affordable travel ideas, check out the best budget travel destinations!
1. Thailand - Lamai
When taking a trip to Thailand, the most expensive part of your trip is probably the flight. Therefore, you can make the most of your trip by staying at least three to four weeks, as this way you can offset the cost of airfare with cheap food and accommodation. In Lamai on Koh Samui, for example, you can find beach bungalows for around 500 baht per night, which is around 11 EUR depending on the exchange rate, with cheap groceries and public transport.
2. Greece - Ios
Just a few kilometers away from busy and touristy Santorini is one of the most affordable tourist destinations in Europe: the island of Ios. It's almost as beautiful as Santorini, with white houses clinging to the mountainside - but it's a lot cheaper. The hotels here start at very low prices and offer you the best of Greek cuisine. If you are looking for a Mediterranean experience at low prices, Ios is definitely worth a visit!
3. Thailand - Bangkok
The capital of Thailand is a melting pot for people from all over the world and offers a unique city break experience. At the same time, you can easily find cheap accommodation here, and even the four-star hotels often offer special offers for only 20 euros per night in a double room and a refreshing rooftop pool. Bangkok is therefore an excellent travel destination for a short-term city break.
Nepal - Nagarkot
Flying into Nepal may be quite expensive, but it's still on our list of the cheapest destinations. As with previous destinations, you will find quality accommodation and meals here at a low price that makes up for the expensive flight. The village of Nagarkot is particularly interesting, giving you a deep impression of Nepalese village life, including breathtaking views of the mountainside, not too far from the capital, Kathmandu.
Morocco - Marrakech
Marrakech is a royal city with lively squares and beautiful gardens. Behind the red city walls, the Atlas Mountains soar into the sky, making them one of the best places in Morocco. Even if the city seems very luxurious, you can find good accommodation here for less than 100 euros a night.
Spain - Costa Brava
The Costa Brava is an ideal destination for a cheap and pleasant holiday just 40 minutes from the Catalan capital, Barcelona. The 220+ km of coastline and rocky landscape will probably amaze you and make you want to come back in the future. Especially in summer, the Costa Brava is a suitable travel destination with temperatures that are not too summery and beautiful beaches.
Tunisia - Monastir
Monastir is located on the east coast of Tunisia and was one of the first Arab settlements to be established in the historical area of Ifriqiya. The mild climate and the long history of Tunisia promise a relaxing and culturally rich vacation at a very low cost!
Kazakhstan - Almaty
If you think that Kazakhstan has nothing to offer besides the Borat film, then you are very wrong! Almaty is a wonderful city with a traditional coffee house culture, wild nightlife and great views of the Tian Shan Mountains. During the day you can even explore the mountains on skis! Traveling to Kazakhstan makes it easy to find affordable places to stay and easy to immerse yourself in nature, which makes the city one of the most affordable travel destinations.
