Travel on a budget! The best budget holidays for 2019
It is January and most of us can still feel the impact of the holidays in our wallet. As many of you, we are not one to postpone our travels due to budget restrictions. A new year is all about exploring, travelling and seeing more of the world! For that reason, we have listed five destinations for a long weekend getaway, paired them with cheap flights and accommodations to suit a budget holiday perfectly!
Gdansk, Poland
How about spending a few days in the city of Gdansk in Poland? We definitely do not say no to this one. The upcoming old town in Poland has a warm atmosphere and scenic vibe about it. The city of Gdansk is perfect for a Citytrip of a few days. Stroll around the old town, visit the impressive Second World War Museum, Oliwa Park and the old cathedrals and churches in the city. The nightlife of Gdansk is also one to explore, it is lively and Polish people know how to drink! Another major advantage is the price level in Poland. Food and drinks are relatively cheap! If you stay in a hostel, you often have access to a kitchen, allowing you to prepare food yourself if you don’t want to go out. However, eating out in Gdansk is not expensive.
For flights and accommodation, we chose the dates of 5-4-2019 until 8-4-2019.
Flight tip: For under €50 (€44 to be exact) you can fly to Gdansk and back with Ryanair and Wizz Air from London Stansted or Luton Airport.
Accommodation: A central hostel in Gdansk costs you between €18 and €24 for three nights(!).
Total for flights and hotel/hostel: €62

Budapest in Hungary is a great place to visit when on a budget. Admire the square of heroes, the ancient buildings and houses of parliament, enjoy a cruise on the Donau and enjoy the scenic and beautiful bathhouses the city have to offer.

Enjoy the traditional Hungarian goulash soup or the sweet and savory snacks such as Kürtőskalács and Lángos. Budapest is also known for its temporary ruin bars, often in the most scenic places.
For flights and accommodation, we compared the same dates of 5-4-2019 until 8-4-2019.

The capital of Portugal is a destination that offers you both a historic and beautiful city and sandy beaches. It does not have to be expensive at all! When exploring Lisbon on a budget you must see Castelo de Sao Jorge and admire the view it provides over the city. Enjoy eating the traditional pastry Pastéis de Belém and walk around the Santa Maria de Belem, a lovely neighborhood to discover. The city is right by the ocean and therefor has access to beautiful sandy beaches.
