There are many reasons to travel. You might want to visit a specific place, relax on the beach, or get away from it all. But no matter what your motivation is for taking a trip, there’s one thing we can all agree on: traveling is expensive. And if you’re looking for ways to save money while on vacation, that might mean skipping out on some of the more costly parts of your trip. So where’s the cheapest country? We have some ideas!
Delhi, India
Suppose you’re looking to visit an exotic location on a shoestring budget, the cheapest country to visit in Delhi. The capital city of India has a cost of living that’s 40 percent lower than New York City and 20 percent lower than London.
While the cost of food and accommodation in Delhi may be low, transportation can get expensive immediately. It’s standard for locals to take cabs instead of buses because they’re cheaper; however, these cabs are often shared with other passengers and can cost up to $15 per hour! You can avoid this expense by taking public transport instead—but be aware that trains only run from 6 AM until 8 PM (and 7 AM until 10 PM during peak season) before resuming again at 4:30 AM. And suppose you want to explore outside Delhi. In that case, plenty of cheap flights are available on domestic airlines like SpiceJet and international carriers like Turkish Airlines or Air India Express (recently acquired by Etihad).
While there are plenty of things for tourists to do in Delhi (including visiting historical sites such as Qutub Minar and Humayun’s Tomb), one thing that makes this destination so attractive is how inexpensive your experience will be. Want proof? Here are some examples:
Malaysia
Malaysia is an excellent choice for backpackers, with a vast range of cheap accommodation, food, and transport options.
Accommodation: Hostels are abundant in Malaysia, and prices are very reasonable. The average dorm bed will cost around $10-15 per night. Some great budget hotels offer double rooms for less than $40 per night!
Food: Eating out at restaurants is not recommended as they can be pretty expensive (and unhealthy!), but if you want to splurge on a nice meal every once in a while, there is the option of going to local hawker stalls which sell delicious Malaysian street food at low dirt prices – one plate of noodles costs around $3! You can also buy groceries from 7-Elevens or Family Mart convenience stores, where 1L bottles of water cost just 50 cents each! If you feel like cooking for yourself, there’s plenty of fresh fruit on sale at markets throughout the country – bananas cost $1 each, so it’s easy to stock up on snacks without breaking your budget!
Nepal
You might think Nepal would be one of the most expensive countries to visit, but you’d be wrong. While it is costly due to its location and reputation as an adventure travel destination, this is not true.
Nepal is one of the cheapest countries in Asia and the world! It’s undoubtedly more affordable than neighboring India or Sri Lanka—two other popular destinations also perfect for budget travelers.
For instance, while staying at guesthouses in Kathmandu costs around $10 per night on average, you can find yourself staying at hostels for as low as $5 per night (or even less if you’re willing to share rooms). This price includes meals and tea/coffee—so nothing else will cost more than $5 per day here!
Vietnam
If you’re looking to backpack around Southeast Asia, Vietnam is an ideal place to start. You’ll find cheap flights and lodging throughout the country, friendly culture, and incredible food.
Vietnam’s main attraction will be its natural beauty: you can visit beaches and mountains or explore a city on foot. If you’re looking for something more adventurous, try water sports or diving in Halong Bay; trekking through Sapa; hiking along Annamite Mountains, or visiting Cat Ba Island for world-class rock climbing (or just chilling out).
Barcelona, Spain
- Barcelona is a great city to visit.
- It is cheap to eat out.
- It is reasonable to drink.
- It is inexpensive to stay.
- It is cheap to travel around the city and surrounding areas by bus, train, or taxi; if you plan on taking the metro, it may be more expensive because there are no transfers included in the ticket price. However, if you use public transportation only once or twice during your stay, buying a single ticket could be less expensive than purchasing an unlimited pass for your entire trip (but remember that there might be some restrictions on how many times per day/week/month). If you want something closer still, renting a car will usually add up quickly depending on how much time you spend driving around each day and where precisely within Barcelona itself that car rental agency is located – which could affect how often they charge. For parking fees too!
Riga, Latvia
Riga is a beautiful city that doesn’t cost an arm and a leg to visit. You can get a hostel with complimentary breakfast for $8 per night, and you’ll have plenty of options for eating out affordably. Plus, Riga has many fun activities if you’re on a budget: museums are inexpensive, as are tickets to the Latvian National Opera House or the Lido cinema theater.
If you want to spend more money in Riga, there’s no shortage of high-end restaurants offering quality food at reasonable prices—but even these places won’t break the bank!
Bali, Indonesia
Bali has long been known as the cheapest country in Asia to visit. It’s one of Indonesia’s most popular tourist destinations and saw 11 million foreign visitors last year alone. But it’s not just a beautiful island with sandy beaches; there are plenty of things to do here that won’t empty your wallet. If you’re looking for an affordable vacation spot with fantastic beaches and some of the best food, Bali is sure to please! We’ve got everything you need to know about visiting this lovely tropical paradise:
Chisinau, Moldova
Chisinau, the capital of Moldova, is the cheapest city in Europe. It’s a great place to visit and can be done on a budget.
Chisinau is one of those cities that will make you feel like you’ve been transported back in time. That is because it has been around for hundreds of years but has only recently become popular with tourists—and therefore hasn’t had much time to modernize. Although it may look old from afar, once you get closer and explore what Chisinau offers, plenty of modern amenities are available!
Chisinau offers so much more than just great deals on hotels and restaurants: its historical sites are also some of the best I’ve ever seen anywhere in Europe (or anywhere else). The Old Town section has enough museums and churches built hundreds of years ago that I was able to spend an entire day exploring them all!
Athens, Greece
Athens is a great city to visit, and it’s cheap! Summer is the best time to go as many festivals, and special events are happening. If you’re going in the winter or spring, you will have fewer crowds around monuments.
A trip to Athens will cost you less than most other international destinations. A meal at a restaurant can be under $10 per person (and they’re usually delicious). Even staying at a 4-star hotel won’t set you back too much—if your budget allows it.
Conclusion
The short answer is: it depends. If you are looking for a cheap holiday, you need to consider the costs of travel, accommodation, and food costs. However, suppose you are prepared to research your destination beforehand and take advantage of some of the free things available in each country. In that case, your trip can be both affordable and enjoyable!
