Discover 7 ways to save money while on holiday!
Ready for a break, but afraid of the price tag? Or do you often discover during your trip that things cost a lot more than expected? We’ve put together 7 tips to help you save money while on holiday.
Save money at your destination!
Take public transport to your accommodation
On arrival at your destination, there are often dozens of taxis lined up outside the airport that are more than happy to offer you a ride to your accommodation. But if you walk a little further, you’ll often also find shuttle and other buses. These can get you where you’re going for only a few euros.
Eat what the locals eat
These are usually the dishes that are the most affordably priced. This way, you not only save money, but also get to eat something new each time.
Check the currency
Some European destinations use a currency other than the euro. So always check whether it is less expensive to use your debit card in that country or to exchange your euros in the Netherlands.
Visit a local market or baker
For breakfast or a delicious lunch, buy from a local market or bakery. For only a few euros, you can enjoy a fantastic meal.
Student and senior citizen discounts
Students and senior citizens (65+) receive a discount at many establishments, not only in the Netherlands, but also abroad. So make sure to ask about such discounts at museums and other attractions.
Download a travel app
Nowadays, there are dozens of handy travel apps that tell you all there is to know about your destination. This way, you don’t have to carry around travel guides and books!
Discover free things to do
There are plenty of free activities to choose from. Some museums offer free admission during certain hours and free guided tours of cities are very popular. A small tip is often much appreciated.
