How to relax if finances sing romances
Summer is the time for a long-awaited vacation. The time is coming pack suitcases in anticipation of interesting travels. But not everyone can afford to travel not only abroad, but also to Russian resorts. Let's talk about how you can relax without spending too much on your budget.
How to relax cheaply
One of the most inexpensive ways is to have a rest at your own dacha or with relatives in the village. Although in some cases this method can turn from a good rest into another work shift, just not in a stuffy office, but in the fresh air. If this method is unacceptable for you, then you can look for other options.
You can save a lot if you get down to business on your own and completely plan your vacation in such a way as not to resort to the services of travel agencies. This will reduce costs in some cases by up to 50%.
Most of the budget is for ticket costs. If you buy them yourself and in advance, then the road will be quite inexpensive. Special sites can help in this matter, where all offers for inexpensive air and rail tickets are collected. Almost all airlines from time to time hold discounts and promotions, using which you can also save money.
You can reduce costs if you get to your holiday destination with transfers. Study the offers of different carriers and draw up a route in the most favorable way for you. If you are going to relax close to your place of residence, then it may be advantageous to go to a trip on your own car... It will be great if a whole group of vacationers gathers, then everyone "throws off" on gasoline and the road turns out to be especially profitable.
Take food with you for meals on the road. It is best to stock up on light and non-perishable foods, but at the same time they should be tasty and high-calorie.
Cheap holidays abroad
It is possible to save on vacation abroad if you choose the right time for your trip. The most expensive seasons are holidays and school holidays. At this time, not only the cost of tickets is much higher, but also the prices in hotels.
When traveling on your own, you also need to take care of accommodation in advance. Now almost every country has hostels where you can stay overnight for a very small amount. Usually hostel rooms have several beds, and sanitary facilities are shared among several rooms. But in some cases there are rooms for one guest. Some hostels also include breakfast in the room rate.
Another important point is nutrition. In this matter, you better focus on the opinion of local residents. As a rule, none of them eat in the tourist areas. This is unjustifiably expensive, and besides, it is not always tasty. It is better to choose small cafes or eateries located within the neighborhoods. The food is tastier there and the prices are lower.
It is also more profitable to take care of entertainment on your own. You should not agree to the proposed excursions right away, it is better to compare several offers and choose the most profitable one. Another option is to do some sightseeing on your own. In this case, you will not pay for the services of the guide and you will not have to walk along with the crowd of tourists.
Cheap holidays in Russia
In our vast country, there are many places where you can relax for little money. But the reality is that a vacation in Russia will cost about the same as an inexpensive trip abroad. When choosing a place, one should be guided by the purpose of such a vacation.
For example, you can improve your health on vacation. For this purpose, it is best to go to the resorts of the Caucasian Mineral Waters. These cities have been considered a health resort since the days of the Soviet Union. Numerous health resorts attract tourists not only from our country, but also from abroad.
If you prefer a beach holiday, then there is only one road, or rather two - the same Krasnodar Territory and more recently Crimea... Anapa resort is suitable for family holidays. There are very convenient beaches for rest with children... Many hotels and sanatoriums have been built for living in the city. But if you prefer to save money, then we advise you to settle in a private house. In order to save money, you can cook your own food or eat in inexpensive canteens away from the tourist area.
Connoisseurs of natural beauty will probably prefer to go on a trip to Baikal or to Karelia with endless blue lakes. The nature of Gorny Altai is also beautiful, as well as the mighty Russian rivers Volga and Don.
There are many cities in Russia with a rich historical past. Therefore, it is inexpensive, but interesting to relax, by going, for example, on a bus tour along the Golden Ring or visiting Kazan, Yekaterinburg or Nizhny Novgorod. The trip to St. Petersburg will be especially interesting. It is in the northern capital that a huge number of museums, palaces, and simply interesting buildings are concentrated. In order to save money, it is better to plan and organize your trip yourself. In addition, it is much easier to do this in your home country than on a foreign trip. Tickets and accommodation can be booked independently. A guide is also not required for sightseeing.
