It is every traveler’s dream to get the best value for money when they travel.  United Kingdom budget travel is highly possible and offers a good number of inexpensive choices for accommodation, traveling, food and sightseeing to visitors on a shoestring budget.

Budget-friendly Travel

London is very well connected by the Tube (the Underground). Visitors can select a multiple day pass which costs less than having to purchase daily tickets. Supplement this with walking around the city, using buses and taking trams and you can use that extra money to explore some more. Travel by train from London to Scotland and enjoy the lush countryside without creating a dent in your wallet.

What to Do

London has a great many attractions that are all accessible by using the extremely viable and reliable underground Tube. From the Eye of London to Madame Tussaud’s Wax Museum and open-air tour bus rides to the warm English pub culture, there’s something for everyone to explore. Nightlife is abounding in Trafalgar Square and Piccadilly Circus, with entertainers at every second corner of the street. Those on a tight budget and not in the mood to experiment usually carry a bottle of wine and crackers, and park themselves where they fancy.

Where to Go

Take a trip to the English countryside to visit Sheffield and Salisbury. Enjoying the awe-inspiring Stonehenge will cost you nothing more than a few dollars. Another place of interest to budget travelers is Scotland, famous for its mystical lore and historical monuments. Filled with students from every part of the globe, Scotland has also come to be known for its yearly music festivals, a must-see when in this part of the United Kingdom.

Where to Stay

When in London, source out backpacker-style Bed and Breakfasts that offer good deals to shoestring budget travelers. There are several fine hotels and guest houses all across the United Kingdom. You can easily find cheap but comfortable accommodation.

Budget Airlines

There are many budget airlines that operate regular flights to and from any place in the United Kingdom. Virgin Atlantic and Ryanair are good options. You can call airline offices to check for special rates and even book online. If you are traveling from France or another European country, you can choose the Eurostar, the ferry across the English Channel, or even drive to the United Kingdom, crossing the water by ferry.
