Budget Travel Tip # 2 For a quick and economical breakfast, pick up a roll, some fresh cold cuts and a piece of fruit from the local market. Then enjoy a delicious sandwich and a cup of coffee in the local park. Take in the view and local life around you. You may end up with some great photos while at it.
Budget Travel Tip # 3 When eating out, choose the fixed price menu and the house wine for the best value. These dishes are often a good way to sample the local cuisine.
Budget Travel Tip # 4 Overnight trains are a great way to get from place-to-place and rest or sleep. During your budget travel in Europe, be sure to bring a meal, bottle of water and snack along. That way, you can save money and enjoy your packed meal.
