8. Albania
Albania does not come into many people’s minds as it is often overshadowed by some of its neighboring countries like Greece. What people often don’t know about this Balkan gem though, is that Albania has one of the most stunning coastlines in Europe! Plus, since it’s not on the radar on most traveler’s bucket lists, you also get to fully enjoy it in peace while being on a budget. Unlike most places, you can also actually stay in resorts or luxury hotels for quite cheap. Now if that doesn’t sound like a great European budget destination, I don’t know what is.
7. Spain

Good ol’ Spain loved by many Europeans and is truly a budget destination. Every summer millions of tourists travel to Spain for a good time. It’s cheap, warm, full of friendly people and amazing nightlife. What more do you need? Come experience the Spanish culture, architecture and don’t even get me started with the amazing Paella and Tapas. 😍
6. Poland
Poland is one of the cheapest and most beautiful countries in Eastern Europe. So, if traveling to the east is your plan, Poland should definitely be on your bucket list. The rich culture and warm people truly make it a special destination. I don’t think I have met any other people who were as kind and helpful as polish people were. Whenever you are in need of help, or they notice that you are a tourist they really treat you and welcome you in the country as one of their own.
5. Portugal

Similar to its neighboring country Spain, Portugal is another one of Europe’s gems and you will be glad to hear it’s cheaper than Spain! With more than 300 days of sun in a year, you can literally travel to Portugal all year round. So, there really is no excuse for you not to travel to Portugal, am I right? 😉 Portugal is also the perfect place to go surfing, or maybe even find your inner zen at a yoga retreat. An island paradise and a beautiful city vacation all in one.

4. The Czech Republic
The Czech Republic has been described as an affordable real-life fairytale by many travelers. The capital, Prague looks like it came right out of a Disney princess movie with the stunning architecture of the buildings, you can walk around the city for hours in awe. And, for all you beer lovers, similar to Germany the beer here in Prague is actually cheaper than water! Wait, what? Yes, so if you truly want to be on a budget, I guess your drink of choice will be beer for the entire duration of your trip here in the Czech Republic. 🍻
3. Romania
Next, we travel to the land of vampires which also happens to be one of the best European budget destinations. The opportunities in Romania are many. You have the option to go hiking in the mountains, relaxing by the beach, or have a visit to one of the many castles around Romania without spending much cash. One of the most famous castles in Romania is the Bran Castle also known as Dracula’s Castle in Transylvania. So, if you are looking for a unique experience, you should definitely consider Romania as your next travel destination.

2. Estonia
Estonia is a very underrated destination in Europe, it’s a small country with a population of roughly a million but that doesn’t mean it’s not worth a trip. The old town in Tallinn is probably one of the most beautiful old towns in Europe, and that isn’t even an exaggeration. Another reason why you should go visit Estonia is that they have one of the best pastries out of all the Nordic countries, at a very affordable price.
Fun fact: Because the alcohol prices are so expensive in Finland, Finns are actually known to travel to Estonia and stock up on cheap alcohol to bring back to Finland.

The amazing nightlife, unique ruin bars that are ready to be explored and just the rich history that can be learned in the country are unreal.
