Try These MoneySaving Travel Tips For Your Next European Vacation

Calling all travelers! Gone are the days when you used five different apps to manage your European travel itinerary. Omio offers more than 1,000 trusted travel partners across trains, buses, flights, ferries and airport transfers. Want the latest insider tips on how to travel Europe on a budget? Pair the money-saving advice below with Omio so you can focus solely on your next journey.

Why Omio

Make travel planning easy with the Omio app. It will get you where you want to go for less when traveling around Europe. From live train updates to mobile tickets, this innovative app is the ideal way to plan and keep track of your travels.

Travel During the Off-season

During the off-season, you'll find flights and places to stay that are much more affordable. For example, January is exceptionally budget-friendly for cities such as London, England, Granada, Spain, and Venice, Italy. Want an insider tip? Book one-way flights to the cities you want to travel to within Europe, then take ground transportation to somewhere even more special. With Omio, you can grab a flight from Malta to Catania, Italy, for as little as $26, then hop on a one-way bus to Rome, Italy, for as little as $30. Want more options? Fly from Rome to London for as little as $15 (gasp!) on airlines such as Ryanair. Then, make your way to Victoria Station and take the bus to Bristol, England, for less than $8.

Stay in the City Next Door

Sometimes the city you want to explore can be too expensive. Why not look somewhere just a 30-minute bus ride away? Exploring hotspots such as Bath, England, is much cheaper when you stay in nearby Bristol. Bristol is a hotbed of British culture. Enjoy some of the best music in the United Kingdom at Mr. Wolfs while savoring a simple bowl of noodles. Walk to Bristol Harbour or down Christmas Steps, a famous street, to admire historical England for free. Grab-and-go sandwiches and crisps from Sainsbury's or Tesco in the city center make for a great lunch in Queen's Square. Quick tip: take an overnight coach bus from Bristol to Edinburgh for as little as $25. For the adventurous, you can sleep on the coach, so you don't have to book a hotel for the night.

Find the Cheap Eats

If you find yourself in places such as Edinburgh or Brighton, JD Wetherspoon offers traditional British breakfast, lunch and dinner for as low as $5. While the storefronts have much more regal names, such as The White Lady or The King of Wessex, the locals will point you there if you ask for the nearest "Spoons." Of course, France, Norway, Denmark and the U.K. also have Japanese fare for less at restaurants such as Yo! Sushi. To save big, head to street markets or food trucks. Another top tip: Omio publishes an online magazine called The Window Seat, written by well-known travel and food writers that can help you find inexpensive food in various cities across Europe.

See the Free Sights

One of the best things about Europe isn't just the cheap flights, buses and trains; you can also find things to do for free. Pisa, Italy, not only offers you one of the seven wonders of the world, but it is also a bustling town full of fun. Grab a train for as little as $10 one-way and see the five cities of Cinque Terre. Beyond Cinque Terre is Framura, a town full of Italian charm and delicious food. Our insider tip: everything in Framura is closed on Tuesdays. Treks around this region of Italy can be just as fun as the sights. The walk to Framura is not for the faint of heart, as it entails a half-mile hike up several flights of stairs, so a $2 bus ride may be ideal if you have luggage.

Use the Omio Travel App

With Omio, you get more than just a regular travel app. Omio partners with Booking.com so that when you search for flights, bus or train tickets, customized offers for places to stay in the same town will pop up in a separate window. The private apartment or room share options in Europe are quaint, unique and budget friendly. Our top lodging tip: an apartment, hostel or bed and breakfast in Bruges, Belgium, Catania, Italy, or Salzburg, Austria, is only $49 a night.

No matter what type of adventure, city break or European vacation you imagine, Omio offers you discounts and deals all in one place. You can save even more when referring a friend with Omio's "You get $11. Your friends get $11" deal. Omio provides journeys that move you.

Omio helps you plan, book and love the journey.
