The best way to save traffic expenses is to move on your own feet. Being able to walk slowly between cities will make you find many unexpected shops and meet all kinds of people.

At the airport, wait in line for a taxi at a special bus stop.

Although walking on your legs or traveling by public transport is the best way to save money, for example, when you have just got off the plane and have to rely on taxis to go to the city because you have huge luggage or are too far away, remember that there will be a special taxi line at the airport, and don't be tempted by those roadside drivers because you are too lazy to queue up.

They usually charge you double the price, and some malicious drivers even take you to the wild just to kill you as a foreign tourist. Uber also provides services in European countries with reasonable fees, which is also a good choice for passengers who need to ride.

3. Take public transport

Generally speaking, big cities in Europe have quite perfect public transport. Take Paris as an example. Their subway began to develop decades ago, and almost every place you want to go has a subway station.

If you will stay in the city for a few days, the subway station also provides various multi-day discount coupons for passengers to use. Taking the subway can make you more integrated into local life. Why not?

4. Pay attention to tipping etiquette

In Europe, not every city and restaurant has to tip. Unlike in America, many expenses here are actually included in the meal. Of course, if you think the service is good, you can leave a tip, but most of the time it is not particularly necessary.

5. Make good use of the dining car on the road.

These street vendors everywhere are tourists' best friends, not only the price is close to the people, but also the food is delicious. If you want to eat crepes in Paris, I really suggest you buy them from the vendors in the dining car to make sure you are satisfied!

6. ubiquitous middle eastern food

Traveling to Europe, you will find that Middle Eastern cuisine can be said to be distributed in major cities and has long been a part of culture. Although their food is exotic, it is very suitable for Asian tastes, and low price is one of the factors that make them popular everywhere.

7. Don't forget to enjoy the wine!

Wine drinkers traveling to Europe are a paradise. The wine here is cheaper than sparkling wine, and you can buy a large bottle for less than 3 euros. Even if you drink it every night, you can still save money to travel. Moreover, there are many kinds of wine. I suggest that you drink differently every time, so enjoy your tipsy time here.

8. Special hidden rules: bar price vs seat price.

The most obvious is the price difference in Italy. Here, if you order an espresso and stand at the bar to drink it, you may only charge you 1 euro, but if you want to sit down and drink the same cup of coffee, the waiter will charge you 2.5 euros to 3 euros. In Italy, you will see almost all the local people standing and drinking coffee, so travelers may wish to do as the Romans do and feel this special culture.

9. Enjoy dinner at leisure

In European countries, you will find that they can eat a meal for several hours, especially in France, where there are endless topics and endless drinks. If you have a chance to eat in a restaurant, why not learn the art of eating from the locals? When you treat a meal with your heart, its value will far exceed the price you pay.

10. Make good use of the accommodation platform

Staying in a hotel is not only expensive, but also loses the opportunity to feel the charm of the city and integrate into the local culture. Now there are many well-developed accommodation platforms, such as Airbnb, which allow you to choose to live in local homes according to your own budget. If you prefer adventure, you might as well try to make a couch potato, which will definitely be a special memory of your trip.

1 1. Make good use of the kitchen and cook for yourself with local ingredients.

Cooking by yourself not only saves money, but also gives you a chance to go shopping in local markets and supermarkets and take a little adventure.

12. Search for local free hiking.

After traveling for a long time, you will find that there are actually free hiking tours everywhere, which can take you around the city in one day. If you have just arrived in a strange place, you might as well try this package tour around major scenic spots. After the tour, you can tip the tour guide at most, but I believe you can get a lot of practical information from him at the end of the day.

13. Google "What are the free things to do now?"

The rich information on the Internet is absolutely beyond your imagination. Many travelers who value saving money collect a series of free itineraries and share them with others online. You can try this method when you want to search for attractions or things to do in a new city. Usually these trips are much more interesting than you think, and many of them are private attractions that are well known to local people.

14. Record the scenery along the way with a good camera.

If you are a person who loves photography, Europe will be your dream place. A good camera can help you capture detailed images and memories. You can also use these photos to make a photo wall for yourself, or send them as postcards to friends and family when you return to China in the future. Compared with expensive gifts, these photo albums full of temperature can make people feel more sincere.

15. Pay attention to the use of network traffic.

The cost of using the Internet abroad is staggering. There are many portable WiFi on the market now, which provide you with daily rent. Some telecom companies have also launched supporting plans. However, if you travel for a long time and often travel between different countries in Europe, the cost will still be amazing.

Living in youth hostels generally has free wifi, so you can collect the information you need to check before going out. In fact, Google Maps is the most commonly used software when you walk (another quite useful software is called CityMap2Go, which can be used offline). The location function does not need to use the mobile network, as long as you turn on WiFi, you can automatically find your location. If you want to make a phone call, just use Skype communication software at your residence.

16. When you go to a new place, try local food.

This will be classified as one of the ways to save money, because if you go to a new place, or eat food that can be eaten at home, or things that are easy to buy, isn't it a waste?

17. Going abroad is not necessarily an obligation to buy things for relatives and friends.

If you happen to see the right gift, of course, it's best to buy it for your little nephew or parents at home, but if you make a list of gifts before you leave, it will make you full of pressure when you travel, and obviously the budget is tight, so it's still very tiring to save money for these gifts.

18. Remember to look for discounts or second-hand shops when you need to buy clothes.

There are often discounted prices in Europe, and there are many second-hand antique shops on the road. It is better to find a small shop on the road than to buy it in a department store.

19. Remember to convert the exchange rate.

Looking at the local prices in Europe for a long time can sometimes be really confusing. You accidentally bought a bottle of 3 euros of water, then changed the price afterwards and wanted to say that you were crazy. If you want to save money, don't forget to change the exchange rate because the number is small. This money can also make you eat another super Italian ice cream!

20. Find a restaurant through Yelp

There are more than 5 million store reviews on Yelp. If you don't know what to eat and are worried about accidentally stepping into a high-end restaurant, maybe you can use this software to find a suitable place for yourself according to the distance, budget and other items!
