In recent years, tourism in Europe has undergone some changes due to rising prices for services and the cost of travel. However, you can travel to picturesque European countries even with a limited budget.
According to the Daily Express with reference to BBC Breakfast, travel expert Simon Calder named four "very cheap" and attractive destinations for a vacation in Europe in 2024. Therefore, even a budget trip can leave behind a lot of pleasant impressions and a feeling of maximum relaxation.
"In Western Europe, it's Portugal, and in Eastern Europe, it's Bulgaria, which is obviously a very popular destination for package tours," he said.
Bulgaria
This country in Eastern Europe impresses with its accessibility and variety of recreation. It is located relatively close to Ukraine. It's only 1400 kilometers from Kyiv to Sofia, the capital of Bulgaria. This city is rich in history and culture and offers a lot of entertainment for tourists. And the beaches of Burgas attract those looking for a seaside vacation at a reasonable price.
"In Bulgaria, your money goes further! We've been saying for years that Bulgaria is a great place to vacation, with great weather, sandy beaches, great hotels and, of course, low cost of living," Calder commented.
Portugal
Portugal is located in the very west of the European mainland and is known for its rich history, breathtaking landscapes, and friendly locals.
"I love Lisbon, one of the most beautiful capitals in Europe, and the cities on its western flanks, in particular Cascais, Estoril, and Sintra," the man recommended the location for the trip.
Lisbon is able to enchant with its streets, cultural monuments, unique spirit, and low prices. After all, the city has the status of the cheapest vacation destination in Europe.
Montenegro
Although Montenegro is not inferior to Croatia or Italy in terms of luxury, it is much cheaper. The old town of Kotor is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and Budva offers not only city walks but also beautiful beaches and breathtaking mountain routes.
Albania
"It's beautiful and very friendly," Calder briefly described the country.
From breathtaking mountain landscapes to friendly city streets, Albania is ready to surprise anyone who chooses it for a vacation, especially since favorable prices will soon make it more attractive than neighboring Italy.
