The Italian Riviera is a great place to visit, everybody says that it’s the ” luxury playground for the rich and famous”. Do you really have to be rich to enjoy this beautiful place to the full? The answer is: no. You can still manage it on a small budget but how? Well, here are a couple of tips how to save money and have a great holiday:
- Don’t stay in a 5 star hotel: you can still enjoy your time in the Italian Riviera when you stay in a nice but cheaper hotel. Just keep your eyes open and look for small family hotels.
- Choose slow travel and do day trips: when you pick a place to stay you can always do day trips from there. It’s pretty easy to do and you can do it on budget.
- When you book your accommodation try to get in touch with Italian families because this is the best way to get to know local people. Another option is to rent a camper van and discover the Italian coast. You can also book a cottage which can be really convenient when you travel with family.
- Rent a car or travel by bus or train: it’s up to you whichever option you choose but it’s much more better than travel by a cruise ship which can be really crowded.
- Don’t forget about the free things: there’re always a lot of free things when you’re on the go. You can discover hidden beaches, visit galleries or historic places or even small boutiques – and it’s all for free.
- Allow little luxuries: when you save money by traveling smart you can always allow yourself small luxuries like a nice lunch or a dinner and you will definitely feel like a king or a queen.
