What are some money-saving tips for singles traveling through Europe?
Singles can save money by traveling in the off-peak season. It’s often easier for a solo traveler to get away during what is traditionally the US school year, and find fewer crowds, smaller crowds, and places that are more accommodating simply because they’re eager to move their travel inventory. That means you pay less for a hotel room, or you may pay less for a tour. The other way to save money as a solo traveler is to make sure that when you book your hotel room, that you’re booking a single room; this is an issue, especially in Europe. You don’t want to book a double room and then end up paying a price that would be charged to two people. You can save money by booking a single room. Yes, it will probably be smaller, and yes, it will probably be a lesser room, but frankly you’re not there to see the room, you’re there to see the country, so it doesn’t matter quite as much.
