There are also many museums, churches and attractions where admission is free. And this happens everywhere on free admission days (usually once a month). Tourist entrance cards for many attractions are also quite advantageous.

BUDGET HOLIDAY IN EUROPE
Bavaria
For a budget holiday that looks like a “fairytale”, the best choice is Bavaria. Therefore, it is recommended that you book a room in Burg Colmberg. Which is a 14th-century castle perched on top of a cliff above a picturesque village.
Another top attraction of the city is Neuschwanstein Castle. It is a 19th-century palace perched on a hill above the village of Schwangau, near Füssen. Louis II of Bavaria ordered its construction as a resting place and a tribute to Richard Wagner. Finally, the castle of Hohenschwangau, in which the “Mad King” Louis II of Bavaria (1845-1886) lived, is also impressive.
Budapest
The capital of Hungary, Budapest, offers all the charm of the most popular European destinations. All at an incomparable price. The Hungarian Parliament and the Fisherman’s Bastion are two of the top attractions one can find in the city.
There are also many budget holiday types of accommodations, restaurants and bars. Even the city’s famous baths and spas. Some of which date back over 100 years and have a beautiful design – can be pretty accessible to visitors.
Andalusia
The Mediterranean “heart” of Spain is undoubtedly beating in Andalusia. The Spanish south that gave birth to the bullfights and Pablo Picasso offers moments of complete relaxation on the beaches of the Costa del Sol. Take a break from the hot sun for a tour of the Pueblos Blancos route.
This route, full of cliffs and whitewashed villages, stretches from the Moorish town of Arcos de la Frontera to the village of Ronda, a labyrinth of medieval roads that reach an altitude of up to 500 meters. Also, choose to stay in neighbouring Seville. It is the capital of Andalusia – to enjoy beautiful architecture, irresistible flamenco dances and tapas classics.
Berlin
Berlin has Cold War mysticism, modern architecture, cultural scenes and great restaurants. With its cosmopolitan feel, it is no wonder that the city has become the cultural capital of Central Europe. Following the reunification of West and East Berlin. The city authorities were slow to “organize”, leaving the city “open” to a new generation of artists and ravers.
This peculiarity contributed to the creation of an artistically profitable landscape. And a new cultural identity for the city.
Bansko
