Judge the safety of a lot by how it twinkles. Broken glass means thieves like this spot. Paying to park in a garage with an attendant can be a good investment.</div>

When changing cash, <span style="border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: , "helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 15px; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">avoid exchange bureaus</span>that don't show both the buying and selling rate. By seeing both rates you can derive the profit margin — which should be within 5 percent. Places showing only the selling rate are hiding something... an obscene profit margin.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #252525; font-size: 0.9375em; font-stretch: inherit; line-height: inherit; padding: 0.3125em 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">

Thieves target Americans not because they're mean but because they're smart. They know we're the ones with the good stuff in our purses and wallets. Assume beggars are pickpockets. Be wary of commotions in crowds and fake police who ask to see your wallet. When you know the scams, they're almost entertaining.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #252525; font-size: 0.9375em; font-stretch: inherit; line-height: inherit; padding: 0.3125em 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">

<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #252525; font-size: 0.9375em; font-stretch: inherit; line-height: inherit; padding: 0.3125em 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
In any transaction, <span style="border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: , "helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 15px; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">understand all fees and expenses.</span> Ask to have bills itemized. Assume you'll be short-changed. Always ask how much. Do your own arithmetic and don't let the cashier rush you. Smile but be savvy. You'll save lots of money.</div>

A single hotel room often costs nearly the same as a double. And by splitting taxis, chores, guidebooks, and picnics couples save both time and money.</div>

For the cost of a postcard and a stamp you can be online in a cybercafé for about 15 minutes. Many libraries, hotels and hostels offer free Internet access.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #252525; font-size: 0.9375em; font-stretch: inherit; line-height: inherit; padding: 0.3125em 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">

And it's not limited to youths. In fact, those over 55 get a discount on a hostel card. Using the hostel's kitchen, you can cook for the price of groceries — a great savings for traveling families.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #252525; font-size: 0.9375em; font-stretch: inherit; line-height: inherit; padding: 0.3125em 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">

Local shoppers eat cheaply at department store cafeterias and restaurants. Savvy travelers can too.</div><script async src="//pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/js/adsbygoogle.js"></script>

While notorious for ripping off tourists, <span style="border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: , "helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 15px; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">flea markets can offer some great deals.</span> Prices are soft, so <a href="https://www.ricksteves.com/travel-tips/money/how-to-haggle" style="border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #0095c8; font-family: inherit; font-size: 15px; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline;">haggle</a>.</div>

You generally book the flights yourself by phone or on the Web. Beware though: Cheap airlines often use small airports located far from town, which can cost a little extra time and money.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #252525; font-size: 0.9375em; font-stretch: inherit; line-height: inherit; padding: 0.3125em 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">

The Alps are littered with helicopter-supplied mountain huts offering cheap beds and menu prices that don't go up with the altitude.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #252525; font-size: 0.9375em; font-stretch: inherit; line-height: inherit; padding: 0.3125em 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">

No shows are generally charged one night. If you won't make it, cancel long in advance. Reconfirm all hotel reservations two days in advance. Even a fine hotel can mess up a booking. Arriving and finding no room can become a huge and costly headache.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #252525; font-size: 0.9375em; font-stretch: inherit; line-height: inherit; padding: 0.3125em 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">

For the best accommodations values, use a guidebook, shop around, and go direct.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #252525; font-size: 0.9375em; font-stretch: inherit; line-height: inherit; padding: 0.3125em 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">

During summer and weekends year-round, you can get a fancy business hotel room at a cheap one-star hotel price. It's not unusual to score a $300 double for $100.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #252525; font-size: 0.9375em; font-stretch: inherit; line-height: inherit; padding: 0.3125em 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Throughout Europe, <span style="border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: , "helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 15px; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">budget chain hotels rent rooms at B&B prices.</span> Since these cookie-cutter rooms cost the same for singles, couples, or even a family of four, they offer the greatest savings for traveling families.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #252525; font-size: 0.9375em; font-stretch: inherit; line-height: inherit; padding: 0.3125em 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: , "helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 15px; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Be smart about hotel choices.</span> A three-star place (with room service and a 24-hour reception desk) is a bad value for a budget traveler who's satisfied with one-star services. Lavish lobbies can hide crummy rooms. See, smell, and hear the room before accepting it. If you're interested in sleeping, choosing a view room overlooking a noisy square is a mistake. Opting for the shower and toilet down the hall can save you $30 a night.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #252525; font-size: 0.9375em; font-stretch: inherit; line-height: inherit; padding: 0.3125em 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: , "helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 15px; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Ask for a deal on your hotel room.</span> You'll have the best chance of getting a discount if business is slow. Go direct (a room-finding service costs the hotel a booking fee), offer to pay in cash, or stay at least three nights.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #252525; font-size: 0.9375em; font-stretch: inherit; line-height: inherit; padding: 0.3125em 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">

A quad is only a little more expensive than a double.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #252525; font-size: 0.9375em; font-stretch: inherit; line-height: inherit; padding: 0.3125em 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">

If breakfast is optional, increase the character and lower the price by joining the local crowd at the corner café for your coffee and croissant.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #252525; font-size: 0.9375em; font-stretch: inherit; line-height: inherit; padding: 0.3125em 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Throughout southern Europe, <span style="border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: , "helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 15px; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">drinks are cheaper at the bar than at a table.</span> The table price can be a great value if you'll linger and enjoy the view. But those just tossing down a quick drink do it at the bar for about half price.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #252525; font-size: 0.9375em; font-stretch: inherit; line-height: inherit; padding: 0.3125em 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Every country has <span style="border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: , "helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 15px; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">early bird and "Blue Plate" specials.</span> Know the lingo, learn your options, and you can dine well with savvy locals anywhere in Europe for under $15.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #252525; font-size: 0.9375em; font-stretch: inherit; line-height: inherit; padding: 0.3125em 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">

We even tip when it's already included or not expected. Ask locals (who are customers rather than employees of a restaurant) for advice.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #252525; font-size: 0.9375em; font-stretch: inherit; line-height: inherit; padding: 0.3125em 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
To save money in restaurants, couples can <span style="border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: , "helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 15px; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">order a side salad and split an entree.</span> To save more, request tap water instead of mineral water, drink the house wine, and skip desserts.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #252525; font-size: 0.9375em; font-stretch: inherit; line-height: inherit; padding: 0.3125em 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">

Three rides generally cost more than a day pass. Airports almost always have cheap and convenient public transit connections to the town center.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #252525; font-size: 0.9375em; font-stretch: inherit; line-height: inherit; padding: 0.3125em 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">

Also, with some passes, you'll pop painlessly into sights that might otherwise not be worth the expense.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #252525; font-size: 0.9375em; font-stretch: inherit; line-height: inherit; padding: 0.3125em 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
If you get sick, <span style="border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: , "helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 15px; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">see a doctor sooner rather than later.</span> While it seems stressful to get medical help, visiting a clinic in Europe is actually an inexpensive and interesting experience. Any hotel or tourist office can point you in the right direction. You'll be diagnosed, have the proper medicine prescribed, and be on the mend sooner in your trip.</div>

How can I travel on my budget ?</h2>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #252525; font-family: ProximaNova-Regular, helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 0.9375em; font-stretch: inherit; font-variant-numeric: inherit; line-height: inherit; padding: 0.3125em 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
The economy may be wobbly, but our travel dreams are still strong — for good reason. Europe is every bit as magical as ever, and no recession can change that. What matters is how well you manage your travel budget, and how you use those skills to create a better trip. Playing your cards right, and spending less will lower the barrier that separates you and the culture you've traveled so far to experience.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #252525; font-family: ProximaNova-Regular, helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 0.9375em; font-stretch: inherit; font-variant-numeric: inherit; line-height: inherit; padding: 0.3125em 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
To help you keep your dream trip affordable, here are 50 thrifty ways to stretch your travel dollar in Europe...<br />

You'll find them in most countries if you know the local word: <em style="border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: inherit; font-size: 15px; font-stretch: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Husrom</em> is Norwegian for <em style="border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: inherit; font-size: 15px; font-stretch: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">sobe</em> which is Slovenian for <em style="border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: inherit; font-size: 15px; font-stretch: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Gästezimmer</em> which is German for rooms in a private home.</div>

Those that are filled with locals serve better food for less money. I look for a short, handwritten menu in the local language only. Go with the daily specials.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #252525; font-family: ProximaNova-Regular, helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 0.9375em; font-stretch: inherit; font-variant-numeric: inherit; line-height: inherit; padding: 0.3125em 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">

Save time and money by avoiding a needless costly return to your starting point. When considering the beginning and end points of a long trip, try to start in mild countries (such as England) and work into the places with greater culture shock (such as Turkey). This way you'll minimize stress, and save countries offering the cheapest shopping — and greatest health risks — for the end of your trip.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #252525; font-family: ProximaNova-Regular, helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 0.9375em; font-stretch: inherit; font-variant-numeric: inherit; line-height: inherit; padding: 0.3125em 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">

You'll get cheaper airfare, find more budget rooms, spend less time in lines, and meet more Europeans than tourists. Big cities such as London, Paris and Rome are interesting any time of year.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #252525; font-family: ProximaNova-Regular, helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 0.9375em; font-stretch: inherit; font-variant-numeric: inherit; line-height: inherit; padding: 0.3125em 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">

In mom-and-pop shops you're more likely to be served by people who care about their reputation and their customers.</div><script async src="//pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/js/adsbygoogle.js"></script>

Stock your hotel room with drinks and munchies upon arrival. You can pass train rides enjoyably over a picnic meal. Many grocery stores have elegant deli sections. Know the metric system for buying produce. In Italy 100 grams (about a quarter pound) is a unit in itself called an <em style="border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: inherit; font-size: 15px; font-stretch: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">etto.</em></div>

Saving money by not buying one is penny-wise and pound-foolish. An up-to-date guidebook pays for itself on your first day in Europe.</div>

Paying $20 a day to store a $40 a day car while touring a city is an expensive mistake.</div>

The difference is huge: For the cost of a pewter Viking ship in Oslo, you can buy an actual boat in Turkey.</div>

This works best if you actually are interesting and charming. Bring a show-and-tell Ziploc baggie filled with photos of your family, house, and hometown.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; color: #252525; font-family: ProximaNova-Regular, helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 0.9375em; font-stretch: inherit; font-variant-numeric: inherit; line-height: inherit; padding: 0.3125em 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">

By putting up with a few minor drawbacks (no changes allowed and no frequent flier miles given) you can save hundreds of dollars. Student agencies are not limited to students and offer some great airfares.</div>

The difference in comfort is usually minimal — it's not like first versus coach on a plane. The vast majority of Europeans don't travel in first class unless someone else is paying for it.</div>

And don't worry about gas costs. Even at $6 a gallon, you'll find cars get great mileage and distances between sights are short. A single two-hour train ticket can cost you the price of a full tank of gas.</div>

It provides access to most tourist attractions very quickly. It is advisable to purchase a road map or download the application "Dubai Metro" in advance, to have a good overview of stops and routes. In addition, conventional guided tours are offered in double-decker buses in Dubai. Many hotels also offer a shuttle service that will take you to the main sites of the city.
