Do we ever run out of things to do in Europe? No, not likely. Even when you have haunted the same tourist traps over and over again, you’ll walk around the corner and a new and delightful activity will jump out into your path. And so many of these things to do are free. Consequently, some of them are far from free. And to complicate matters, they may be impossible to get into: tickets all sold out. Frustrating to say the least.
But if you’re an avid traveler, you’ll find ways of having all of the critical elements converge in one place that – ta-da – gives you what you want. As you can tell by the title of this post, there are two key focus points: Stockholm and saving money. If you want both, you can always trust a local. In this case, YouTuber Three Star Vagabond has loads of tips about how to make the most of this unforgettable city. Watch the entire video (he has others from other additional locations as well) and you’ll walk away beaming with joy.
We have some other ideas, below to enjoy Stockholm without going bankrupt
- Consider staying in budget accommodations, hostels, or guesthouses instead of expensive hotels. 2. Look for deals on accommodation booking websites or consider alternative options like Airbnb. 3. Consider buying a travel pass for unlimited travel on public transport during your stay. 4. Eat at local markets or food stalls for cheaper and authentic meals. 5. Avoid dining in tourist-heavy areas, as prices tend to be higher. 6. Take advantage of free attractions, parks, and walking tours. 7. Check for discounted or free entry days at museums and attractions. 8. Look for city passes that offer discounts on multiple attractions.
These tips are all common sense, but in the heat of the travel moment, we sometimes let ourselves get carried away, and then so does our budget.
Choose public transportation like buses and trains; generally more affordable than taxis.
