Alcohol is very expensive in Finland. Believe me, a budget traveller like you wouldn’t be regularly hanging out at the pub next door. A beer would cost around 5Euros.
Best would be to buy beer for 0.5Euro at supermarkets.
But if you really really need to save, drink tap water. It’s always drinkable and it’s FREE.

Julien Marchand asks,
“Hi! I’m planning a trip to Craotia over the summer and I’d like to know a little bit more about being hosted by the locales. How reliable is it? I know it’s mostly case-by-case, but are those offers worth it and is the quality relatively even from one local to another…? Thanks!”

Budget problems? Why not earn money while you ski and enjoy the scenery that the Alps has to offer?
This season, you can work your way to a decent salary and spend 2 days in a week skiing to your heart’s desire by working in a ski resort. If you are an EU-passport holder, head on out […]
So you are finally in Paris and you just HAVE to have your portrait done… just like in the movies.
Street artists flock to the city’s tourist spots. If you want one done, it’s easy to find an artist. Paris, with its wonderful ambience and numerous picturesque backdrops available, is perfect for this.
But… be careful.

Unscrupulous vendors have been known to charge tourists more than the real worth. It’s a con which a lot of tourists have fallen for. To be conned during a tightly-budgted trip could (for some) mean a meal lost. So, be very careful.
Tourist trap is a new category here at Europe String. Apart […]
In General, price level in Budapest is bargain-basement compared to its wealthier neighbors. Despite the already low prices, it certainly wouldn’t hurt if you could save a few more Euros.
Beat those hunger pangs without worrying about the cost. A few Hungarian terms would do your pocket AND stomach a lot of good.
When looking for a place to […]
Now that the final draw has finally been er… drawn, you can now start planning your trip around the games schedule. As expected, German tourism is now experiencing the onslaught of bookings for hotels, pensions in all the participating venues. Apart from that, we are seeing the increase in prices and the realization that accommodation capacities are […]
Driving in Europe can be a joy — particularly in Germany, if you are a Schumacher wannabe – OR, it could easily turn into a nightmare. Not only because it could be nerve-wracking but also because it could be expensive. There are tons of ways to go around Europe on a budget. But with the current prices of […]
Our very first featured bandanna girl/backpacker is none other than b5media’s resident Play-Girlz, Ingrid Diaz.
Like Ingrid, most backpackers are very social. The bandanna-wearing ones are cooler, though.
Meeting people — whether locals or fellow travellers — is a big part of the backpacking experience. And connecting with like-minded globetrotters could help keep the costs down. It’s the way to go in finding and sharing advices on […]
Travelling is exciting and yet, tiring. All those walking around and being perpetually on the move could drain the energies of even the fittest globetrotter. Hence, the need to recharge by getting a good night’s sleep.
Problem is, this is sometimes impossible. Light sleepers are especially in danger of being constantly bothered by a snoring dorm […]
