22 Affordable Destinations in Europe That Are Awaiting Your Arrival
Cheapest Beach Vacations in Europe
You won’t have to empty your wallet completely to enjoy some fun in the sun with these picks of the best places to enjoy an affordable beach vacation in Europe.
Valencia, Spain
One of the most affordable destinations on the Mediterranean Sea is the colorful city of Valencia. The city is easily accessible from the hub cities of Barcelona and Madrid, but prices are much cheaper than either. You’ll find a vibrant museum culture, plenty of beaches for lounging and a few quirky festivals throughout the year, making it a top-notch destination if you’re looking to save a buck in Western Europe.
The city is famous for its beaches that are known for being clean and beautiful (although sometimes quite busy). Some of the best beaches to check out include Las Arenas Beach, Playa de Malvarrosa and Patacona Beach — all of which are quite easy to reach from the city center.
Albania
Often overlooked, Albania is one of the cheapest countries in Europe. Despite how affordable it is, the country remains somewhat off the beaten path, so you’ll have many of the attractions to yourself. The country is known for its castles and archaeological sites, and has both mountains and beaches, offering a little of everything for those who enjoy the outdoors.
Albania’s southern coast is stunning and perfect for a summer beach vacation with soaring peaks, azure seas and the softest white sand you could hope for. The best part is the beaches are rarely crowded with tourists since it’s not yet a popular tourist destination.
A great vacation doesn't have to cost a fortune. These cheap places to travel in the U.S. have all the fun attractions and delicious food you could want!
Bulgaria
Bulgaria is another of the most attractive options when considering an affordable European holiday and is a must-visit destination for 2019. Tourists will find prices to be reasonable and there is no shortage of things to do. Make sure to explore the capital, Sofia, and Plovdiv with its interesting museums and historic architecture.
For nature lovers, stay in a mountain lodge at a price that won’t break the bank, explore the Rila Mountains and visit the Seven Rila Lakes. But be sure to leave time to head to Sunny Beach, which is one of the cheapest beach resort areas in Europe. You’ll be wondering why you didn’t know Bulgaria had such beautiful beaches!
