Let’s be honest. Most of the people who visit Europe always plan their trips based on the classic destinations, the countries that everyone goes to and that you cannot miss if you travel for the first time. It is not your fault or anyone else’s but for that reason we’ve decided to show you some cheap and beautiful cities in Europe that you must visit. They are somewhat unknown and therefore have not been entirely discovered.
Skopje (Macedonia)
You probably don’t know where Macedonia is, but it probably sounds familiar to you because you studied it in high school. Ok, now we will give you a slightly bigger screenshot because visiting the Macedonian capital Skopje is something that is really worth it if you want to find a little more diversity. And of course if you want to save some money and have a good time.
Riga (Latvia)
Latvia is a very interesting country in many respects as is its beautiful capital, Riga. Tiny and beautiful landscapes, nice and open-minded people. But in addition to these great aspects, you can find excellent prices to enjoy everything to the fullest. Its capital Riga, is no exception to the aforementioned characteristics.
Let's get to the point. A night in a hostel will cost you around €10 per bed, a basic hotel will cost around €30 / night, and palaces and other luxury hotels have similar prices to other countries in Europe. I don't think you will find something as cheap as Bosnia but here you can surely eat well for low prices.
Belgrade (Serbia)
Belgrade is the capital of Serbia and is part of our list of cheap and beautiful cities in Europe to travel. It is worth even just one day to walk through its cobbled streets or cross its glorious bridges to take some photos and admire the scene. Now, in terms of prices, you can eat a full meal in a good place paying only 7.50 euros. If you are staying in a hostel and are willing to share rooms then think about 12 euros more or less. The great advantage of touring Belgrade, like many cities in Europe, is that they present free alternatives for tourists.
Bratislava (Slovakia)
Slovakia is a country that may go unnoticed by many tourists but will never do so for travellers thirsty for exploring new places and low prices. Bratislava is its capital and it really is a city that has a lot to offer short-stay visitors. For example, some essential visits are the Bratislava Castle, the Gate of St. Michael, the Old Town Hall or the Hlavne Namestie Square. Everything is beautiful, even the numbers that invite you to know the site. For lunch in a restaurant the dish of the day can cost about 6/7 euros.
Mostar (Bosnia and Herzegovina)
Can you imagine being able to go to the most luxurious restaurant in your city and pay less than six euros for a meal? Well this is possible in Mostar, one of the cities you must visit if you go to Bosnia and Herzegovina. We are talking about a country in political-economic conflict and divided because of its religious discrepancies. But if there is something that it does not lack, it is culture.
Vilnius (Lithuania)
Vilnius is the capital of Lithuania, one of the cheapest cities in Europe to travel to. This country which is part of the Baltic countries which have considerably cheaper prices than places in Spain, Italy or France. Restaurants, drinks, everyday products or even transport cost much less than in all of Western Europe. If we add to this the beautiful existence of youth hostels that make life easier for us both economically and socially, then everything fits to visit beautiful Vilnius.
Sofía (Bulgaria)
In the Balkan peninsula in southern Europe, with more affordable prices, there is a small country that's quite unknown to the world - we are talking about Bulgaria. Bulgaria is part of our list of cheap and beautiful cities in Europe to visit on your travels. It is a destination that's not overcrowded, but it has enough attractions to be a first-class tourist spot: history, heritage protected by Unesco, ski resorts, wonderful beaches, good gastronomy, hot springs and more await future visitors.
