Here's how to travel affordably and cheap
Cheap weekend and city trips are directed more eastward in Europe. Here you will find beautiful architecture, a rich cultural life and as a rule a weekend trip here costs half as much as one in Stockholm.
The FOREX City Index shows that popular European destinations such as Paris, London and Rome are not very affordable. That doesn't mean it's expensive throughout France, the UK or Italy – there are plenty of destinations beyond the biggest and most tourist-dense cities.
To travel affordably and more cheap, a little research will go a long way in finding affordable shopping and restaurant visits. Keep an eye on the travel wallet with a mix of cash travel currency for everyday payments and cards for, for example, hotels and other major expenses. Use flight comparison to compare and book cheap flights and you can also book your tours and activites in advance.

Index provides a price indication
Worth mentioning is that even if a destination has a low index overall, some costs may still be higher compared to a destination with a higher index. An index shows a price trend and compares price levels during a certain period, this means that price changes in e.g. hotels, restaurant visits, taxis can affect the index over time.
