Cheap countries to travel to in Europe , 6 low cost options for all tastes: from the always recommended Portugal, Poland and Romania, to much more unknown destinations for the general public such as Montenegro, Bulgaria or Albania.
Plovdiv, a beautiful city in Bulgaria.
Obviously, this recommendation is valid for any time of the year . But the summer season is the strong point of most of them. Especially those that offer a coastline full of super desirable beaches, such as Portugal, Albania or Montenegro.
6 lowcost destinations: cheap countries to travel to Europe
♥ Albania
Navigating Lake Koman.
One of those wonderful destinations that has it all, beach, mountain and heritage , and all at super cheap prices. Albania has become known in recent years as one of the most interesting destinations in Eastern Europe for its incredible beaches on the Albanian Riviera . 
Amazing beaches in Albania.
Of course, when organizing your trip to Albania you should avoid the month of August . This is the holiday period of the Albanians themselves. During these weeks, there are more problems when looking for accommodation in the coastal area and you can find beaches and many tourist attractions full of people.
♥ Bulgaria
Bulgaria, cheap countries to travel to Europe.
One of my latest discoveries. A country that still does not know what mass tourism is . That treasures a large amount of artistic heritage within its many charming cities and towns. Where you can bathe in a beach with crystal clear waters in the Black Sea, climb the impressive peaks of the Pirin and Rila National Parks close to 3,000 meters, enjoy the beauty of its glacial lakes and sleep in a 16th century Orthodox monastery .
The wonderful Rila Monastery.
To give you an idea, I paid an average of 20 euros per day for a single double room (which in Spain could cost you between 50 or 70 euros per day) and about 5 euros per person to eat in a restaurant with a main dish, drink and dessert.
♥ Romania
Romania, one of the cheapest countries in Europe.
The area most visited by international tourism is the region of Transylvania. A wonder full of charming little towns and cities where the Carpathian mountains star in the landscape. However, Romania is so much more. From the navigable canals of the Danube Delta , to places as impressive as the painted monasteries of Bucovina or the wooden churches of Maramures in the north.
In terms of standard of living, today you can travel around Romania with a daily budget of between 15 and 30 euros . That in terms of low cost budgets. If you feel like traveling without constraints and with a little whim, with 40 or 50 euros per person you will have done it.
♥ Poland
Krakow.
Wonderful!. From the first day I set foot on Polish soil, I knew that it had been a success. Monuments, super colorful traditional architecture and, above all, a lot of history. And it is that in any trip through Poland it is impossible to ignore the deep imprint left by the Second World War throughout the country, beyond Auschwitz and other places as popular as the Schindler Factory in Krakow.
♥ Portugal
Despite the more than evident tourism boom that Portugal has experienced in recent years, we can still consider it one of the cheapest countries in Europe to travel to . Or, at least, from Western Europe . From its beautiful and decadent cities of Porto and Lisbon and a surprising interior full of heritage, to its Atlantic coast full of wild beaches and countless kilometers of virgin sand. Doesn’t look bad, right? Well, reality always beats him.
Portugal, one of the cheapest countries in Europe.
Whichever way you look at it, Portugal has historically been a country underestimated by the Spanish. A huge mistake that, fortunately, we have more than corrected. And it is that, at present, our neighboring country has become one of our favorite destinations both for a weekend getaway and for a multi-day road trip .
♥ Montenegro
Beaches in Montenegro.
Many of the tourists who visit Dubrovnik, the most touristic city in Croatia, cross the border to enjoy a day trip to Montenegro . And it is that the proximity of the famous Bay of Kotor is a difficult claim to resist. But the same thing happens to everyone, one day is very little and they are left wanting much more. And it is that Montenegro is a small country but a bully.
Small very small. With a size similar to that of the community of Castilla y León , Montenegro treasures 5 impressive national parks and a coastal strip of 290 kilometers in length that has little or nothing to send to that of its neighbors to the north (Croatia) or to the south (Albania). . If you add to that impressive towns such as Kotor, Perast or Herceg Novi, we could say that Montenegro offers enough attractions to dedicate a trip exclusively to it.
More cheap countries in Europe to travel
Be careful because this list could increase considerably if we talk about other countries that I still do not know in the first person. Basically, we are talking about the east of the European continent . Some of them, real gems yet to be exploited.
For example, within The Balkans , Serbia , Bosnia , Macedonia and Kosovo could also be mentioned . As in neighboring countries such as Albania and Slovenia, they have impressive natural resources (one of the great attractions of the Balkan countries), a more than interesting cultural diversity and super attractive prices. I am already looking forward to returning to the area to see my next target: Bosnia.
