Seeing and doing as much as possible for as little money as possible is key. Most people immediately think of a rail pass \u2013 and if you truly do want to see as much as possible and maintain flexibility with your travel plans, a rail pass is probably a good idea for you. Passes cover anywhere from one to 24 countries, which makes them the perfect option for anyone exploring Europe on a budget.<\/p>\n<p>A\u00a0<a title=\"Rail Pass\" href=\"http:\/\/www.raileurope.com\/rail-tickets-passes\/europe-rail-pass-list\/\" class=\"post links\">rail pass<\/a>\u00a0isn\u2019t the only answer, however. If you\u2019re only taking two or three trains while you\u2019re in Europe, it might be better to just purchase individual point to point tickets. Again, it all depends on your personal itinerary, and if money is a concern then it\u2019s a good idea to price out everything before booking tickets or passes.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>Budget-friendly benefits of this itinerary:<\/strong><\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li>Overnight trains (save money on hotels)<\/li>\n<li>Good exchange rates: Germany and Slovakia are on the euro (1.2 USD to 1 euro); 40 cents USD is 1 Hungarian forint; and 30 cents USD is 1 Polish Zloty (at the time of this blog post\u2019s publication)<\/li>\n<li>Each of these cities is known for being fairly affordable compared to other European cities in terms of dining, attractions, and general sightseeing activities<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><strong>1. Try out a city pass in Berlin<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.hostelworld.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/Brandenburg-Gate.jpg\" class=\"post links\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-3176 size-full post links\" src=\"https:\/\/www.hostelworld.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/Brandenburg-Gate.jpg\" alt=\"Europe on a Budget - Brandenburg Gate\" width=\"535\" height=\"355\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>As far as European capitals go, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hostelworld.com\/blog\/what-to-do-in-berlin\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" class=\"post links\">Berlin is one of the most affordable and one of the most impressive<\/a>. Brimming with history and culture, Berlin has something for everyone: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hostelworld.com\/blog\/best-museums-in-berlin\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" class=\"post links\">museums<\/a>, street art, underground concerts, historical landmarks, renowned restaurants, and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hostelworld.com\/blog\/best-bars-in-berlin\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" class=\"post links\">quirky bars<\/a>. Despite the large variety and high quality of attractions it offers, Berlin remains more affordable than its neighbors Paris and Barcelona, among others.<\/p>\n<p>There\u2019s a lot to see in Berlin and that\u2019s where a city card can come in handy. City cards are perfect for travelers on a budget because they often give discounts on public transportation, museums, and other attractions. For example, with the\u00a0<a title=\"Berlin Pass\" href=\"http:\/\/www.raileurope.com\/activities\/berlin-pass\/index.html\" class=\"post links\">Berlin Pass<\/a>, you get a choice of 2 or 3 days of consecutive travel on public transport, complimentary admission to over 50 attractions, a free 1-hour cruise on the River Spree, and a guidebook. If you know you\u2019re going to be doing all or most of these activities anyway, you might as well take advantage of a discount.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>Getting to Berlin by train:<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>The Berlin Central Station \u2013 or Berlin Hauptbahnhof \u2013 is considered to be the biggest train station in Europe, and it\u2019s a pretty impressive welcome to an already impressive city. You can travel to this station from so many other European hubs (to name a few: Munich, Prague, Vienna, and Zurich).<\/p>\n<h3><strong>2. See what all the hype is about in Warsaw<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.hostelworld.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/Warsaw.jpg\" class=\"post links\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-3178 size-full post links\" src=\"https:\/\/www.hostelworld.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/Warsaw.jpg\" alt=\"Europe on a Budget - Warsaw\" width=\"535\" height=\"406\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h4><strong>Full disclosure:<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>I have never been to Warsaw, but every single time I\u2019ve traveled to Europe, I\u2019ve met travelers who absolutely rave about how wonderful it is. Poland in general gets rave reviews. One of the things I hear most often is how affordable it is, and how it\u2019s still more off-the-beaten track than a lot of other cities in Europe.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>Don\u2019t miss:<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>The Place of Culture and Science, the tallest building in Poland and quite an imposing one at that, considering its Communist-style. It currently hosts concerts and movies, and it houses cafes and museums as well. You\u2019ll get a pretty nice view of the city if you take the elevator to the top.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>Berlin to Warsaw by Train:<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>The Berlin-Warsaw Express Train takes travelers between the two cities in under six hours. The ticket price of this train is covered by a rail pass or combination of passes that includes Germany, Poland, or both countries, so only a seat reservation supplement would need to be purchased for the specific date and time you\u2019d want to travel. Point to point tickets can also be booked for this route.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>3. Get a good dose of people-watching in Bratislava<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.hostelworld.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/Bratislava.jpg\" class=\"post links\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-3179 size-full post links\" src=\"https:\/\/www.hostelworld.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/Bratislava.jpg\" alt=\"Europe on a Budget - Bratislava\" width=\"535\" height=\"356\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>One of the smallest cities in one of the smallest European countries, Bratislava is still full of charm. Its main attractions are all essentially free, which makes Bratislava the perfect choice for seeing Europe on a budget. Make sure to check out the classical old town area, the view of the \u201cUFO bridge\u201d from the castle grounds, the castle grounds themselves, and the locals playing chess in the park in the center of town.<\/p>\n<p>Bratislava also offers excellent people-watching opportunities in the evening, as the place is a hotspot for British stag parties. If you\u2019re visiting on a weekend in the spring or summertime, you\u2019re pretty much guaranteed to see young adults running from bar to bar dressed in ridiculous outfits. Maybe you can even tag along.<\/p>\n<p>Between the stag parties, the chess-playing locals, the view of the city from the castle grounds, and the tourists posing with that weird statue peeking out from a pothole in the old town, Bratislava is pretty much a jackpot for anyone who loves one of the most budget-friendly sightseeing activities of all: people-watching.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>Warsaw to Bratislava by train:<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>There is an overnight train between Warsaw and Bratislava, so you can arrive in this tiny city well rested for all of that people-watching and stag-partying.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>4. Ride a bike and take a bath in Budapest<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.hostelworld.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/Budapest.jpg\" class=\"post links\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-3181 size-full post links\" src=\"https:\/\/www.hostelworld.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/Budapest.jpg\" alt=\"Europe on a Budget - Budapest\" width=\"535\" height=\"356\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Though Budapest is becoming more and more popular lately, it\u2019s still fairly affordable as far as large European cities go. It\u2019s a wonderful city for biking in the summer \u2013 despite the hills \u2013 and if you travel along the shores of the Danube, you\u2019ll probably come across a little restaurant where you can try a bite of freshly fried fish before setting off on the rest of your trek, or a park where you can take an afternoon nap with the locals.<\/p>\n<p>One of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hostelworld.com\/blog\/15-things-to-do-for-free-in-budapest\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" class=\"post links\">most popular attractions<\/a> \u2013 the famous Hungarian baths \u2013 is extremely affordable as far as European attractions go (usually about 10-15 euro!), and unlike most European attractions, you\u2019ll feel relaxed and rejuvenated when you leave. For budget shoppers, the Ecseri Flea Market is pretty much heaven: stroll the aisles of scarves, jewelry, furniture, hats, old photos, you name it \u2013 and be prepared to haggle.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>Bratislava to Budapest by train:<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>There are direct trains that run between these two cities often; travel time is just under three hours. There are also services that require a train change along the way in Vienna, and even then the journey time will be about 4-5 hours. If you choose the latter route, you\u2019ll get to experience a high-speed rail jet train for the journey between Vienna and Budapest.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>Have any tips for backpacking across Europe on a budget?
