1. Vilnius, Lithuania

Cheap flights to Vilnius are almost always available - and this is already a strong argument for those who want to have a budget vacation. But far from being the only argument! Vilnius is a cozy European capital, where you can feel at home.

The traditional historical center with its ornate squares, narrow streets and parks blends harmoniously with modern Vilnius, where freedom of self-expression runs rampant and even echoes of the Soviet past are turned into art objects.

Who will like it: romantics and young people

Accommodation: hostel from €5, 2-bed room in a 3* hotel from €35 per night.

2. Budapest, Hungary

Wizz Air's cheap tickets to Budapest have long made this destination a weekend travel classic. Hotels and apartments in Budapest are much cheaper than in other European capitals. You should devote at least three days to exploring the Hungarian capital - there are so many interesting places here. By the way, we told you about the most interesting places in this article.

Be sure to take a tour of the Parliament building and admire the wonderful panorama that opens up from the Buda riverbank. In the warm season, we recommend taking a cruise on the Danube on a pleasure boat.

Who will like it: everyone, especially architecture lovers

Accommodation: hostel from €8, 2-bed room in a 3* hotel from €20 per night.

3. Bucharest, Romania

If we talk about cheap vacation destinations in Europe, then Romania stands in the first lines of all ratings. Unspoiled by the attention of tourists, Bucharest is trying hard to attract it.

Although, to be honest, it is not worth the effort. Connoisseurs have already fallen in love with "Little Paris" - that's how Bucharest was once nicknamed, although the scale and pomp of the local architecture somehow do not fit with this name. The majestic city center contrasts with the new part of the city, where modern glass high-rises have appeared out of nowhere. The best time to visit Bucharest is in spring, when the numerous parks are in full bloom and the city is drenched in greenery.

Who will like it: explorers, lovers of space

Accommodation: hostel from €7, 2-bed room in a 3* hotel from €21 per night.

4. Istanbul, Turkey

A country with a cheap and quick flight - what could be better? Istanbul is always relevant for everyone, it is such a win-win option for those who want to have a busy weekend.

There is a lot to see, taste and relax your body and soul in this city. And even if it is not the first time you come to Istanbul, there is always something new and amazing that will make you fall in love with this city again.

Who will like it: everyone, especially history buffs and those who appreciate oriental flavor

Accommodation: hostel from €6, 2-bed room in a 3* hotel from €42 per night.

5. Krakow, Poland

Krakow has long been dubbed the most beautiful city in Poland. But it's really worth exploring the whole country, as Warsaw, Wroclaw and many small but cozy Polish towns are simply charming!

It is a place where you can touch the pages of European history, and even those where its most terrible chapters are written. It is a place of unity and tranquility.

As for the prices, they are quite a bit higher than ours, which means you can easily calculate your budget and not miss out.

Who will like it: those who are interested in history

Accommodation: hostel - from €8, 2-bed room in a 3* hotel - from €26 per night.

6. Tbilisi, Georgia

Not only Tbilisi, but all of Georgia is worth a visit. Due to the influx of tourists, prices in the top Georgian cities have gone up a bit, but if you go to places that are not the most popular, you will be very pleasantly surprised.

In any case, Georgia is always a win-win option, because you do not need to get a visa, cheap tickets and accommodation can be found without problems, especially for March-April and October, when the weather is quite warm, and tourists are already many times less. Well, there are many legends about the hospitality of Georgians, and all of them are true!

Who will like it: those who love nature and freedom. And, of course, wine!

Accommodation: hostel from €3, 2-bed room in a 3* hotel from €52 per night.

7. Riga, Latvia

The final chord in our list of cheap destinations is another Baltic country. Latvia is paradoxical in that our people go there with a sense of nostalgia, but arrive with surprise at how European this city is well maintained and clean. And Europeans do not expect anything special from Riga as a standard European city, and in fact always remember the pompous buildings that have remained here since the Stalinist times.

Although the historical center was completely restored in the middle of the twentieth century, and therefore there is really no spirit of Old Europe here, as, say, in Vilnius, Riga still pleases with its colorful squares, narrow streets and a canal with boats right in the middle of the city. It creates a feeling of unhurriedness and measuredness that many European capitals lack.
