1. Whenever you can, plan to travel around the end of September and October
Find the period when the summer tourist season has ended and the winter one has not started yet. In general, this means: perfect climates, fewer people and normal prices.
2. 2-3 weeks before waiting for the ticket, do some intensive research
Cutting tickets is a complex process, as their prices are dynamic and always changing. According to studies, the ideal is to book your tickets for the next destination 2 or 3 months before the trip.
3. If it is possible for you, travel in the middle of the week.
If you choose to fly on Friday and return home on Sunday, you have safe stratospheric prices. Of course, sometimes commitments do not let you travel during the week, but if you can book your trip on Thursday and come back on Tuesday. Perfect to save and enjoy alike!
4. Take an interest in public transportation when needed, but trust your feet more!
Avoid taxis or Uber. Most major cities have fast, cheap and very convenient public transport.
5. Don’t be afraid to lose a little
You will do even better than you imagined, just keep a map with you.
6. Don't forget to bring good sneakers / shoes
The most important thing in a tourist's suitcase are comfortable shoes. Do not make the mistake of wearing heels or other shoes that you know will tire you out.
7. If you want to go out of town, rent a car.
It will cost you less time and money.
8. Ask locals about their favorite places.
Who knows better than them? Ask the waiters, the vendors, or the woman next door. I can know something more than you.
9. Try to consume everything!
Forget the diet those days and be curious.
10. But never sit down to eat in areas populated by tourists
You will find terribly high prices and still have reservations from the service.
11. Find a balance between fast food on the street and restaurants
Try new, typical things, but do not spend time in restaurants when you do not need to. A good dinner is enough to close the trip.
