Right-size your budget
Where to travel with €500?
At €500, you stay in Europe and travel light. It's the envelope for a long weekend in a European city or a week of hostels in the Balkans, southern Portugal or rural Sicily. Possible, but with discipline.
Prices based on departures from Europe · converted to your currency
Who's it for?
Students, first trip, short discovery stay. Cook in an apart-hotel, skip the rental car, take regional trains rather than domestic flights.
Keep in mind
At €500, exclude: long-haul, island countries, upscale hotels, à-la-carte restaurants every night. Aim for May-June or September — European domestic flights drop.
