Looking for free things to do in Tenerife? 🇪🇸

You don’t need an all-inclusive budget to explore this incredible Canary Island. Some of Tenerife’s best experiences won’t cost you a single euro!💰

🌋 Start with the otherworldly volcanic landscapes of Teide National Park. Exploring the park, viewpoints and walking trails is free, although the Mount Teide cable car costs extra.

🏘️ Wander through the colourful UNESCO-listed streets of La Laguna before heading to La Ranilla, Puerto de la Cruz’s historic fishing district, to hunt for its enormous street-art murals.

🥾 For something wilder, explore the mountains and ancient laurel forests of Anaga Rural Park. Some walking routes require advance reservations, so check your chosen Tenerife hiking trail before setting off.

🌅 Finish your budget Tenerife adventure by watching the sunset from El Médano Beach, with Montaña Roja providing one rather fabulous volcanic backdrop.

Barbados is not only for luxury resorts and expensive all-inclusive holidays! 🇧🇧

💰 There are loads of incredible things to do in Barbados that don’t require a luxury budget.

🥃 Start with a Mount Gay rum tasting from around £22

🛥️ Swap the resort pool for the Caribbean Sea with a Cool Runnings catamaran cruise from around £63

🏄 You can also learn to surf with Barry’s Surf School from around £45, including your board

🍴 Or eat your way through Bridgetown on a 3-hour Lickrish food tour for around £69.

🐟 When evening arrives, head to Oistins Fish Fry on Friday for grilled fish, music and a brilliant local atmosphere, or try Surfer’s Café on Sunday for free live music beside the sea.

☀️ Barbados certainly isn’t the cheapest Caribbean island, but travelling independently means you can pick where you splurge, find affordable local food and spend your money on memorable experiences rather than an expensive resort package.

📲 So if you’re looking for Barbados on a budget, affordable things to do in Barbados or somewhere different for some winter sun, SAVE this Reel for your trip.

Wondering how to get from Kraków Airport to the city centre without spending a fortune on a taxi? 🇵🇱

🚆The train is fast, easy and costs just 20 PLN, roughly £4!

✈️ From Kraków Airport, follow the signs to the train station, which is connected to the terminal by a covered walkway. Take the SKA1 train to Kraków Główny, the city’s main railway station, with the journey taking around 18 minutes.

🎟️ Buy tickets from the machines, online or onboard, with card payments accepted.

💰 There are cheaper buses from Kraków Airport too, but if you want the best combination of price, speed and convenience, I reckon the train is well worth the few extra złoty.

📍 Kraków Główny is right by the Old Town, so once you arrive you can easily walk or jump on a tram to reach your accommodation.

If you’re only paying for one attraction in Ghent, I’d make it the Ghent Belfry 🇧🇪

At 13€, it’s one of my favourite paid things to do in Ghent and the views are seriously worth it 🔔

🏰 This UNESCO-listed medieval tower sits right in the heart of Ghent’s historic centre, with panoramic views across the city’s rooftops, churches and canals from the top.

🛗 And don’t be put off by the 254 steps! You don’t need to climb them all because there’s a lift that takes you most of the way up. You can also stop to see the Belfry’s enormous bells and famous carillon.

💰 Ghent is a brilliant city for budget travellers because there are loads of free things to do, so I’d save your sightseeing budget for the attractions that really deliver. For me, the Ghent Belfry is one of them.

Travelling to Paris? 🇫🇷
Don’t make the mistake of automatically buying the Paris Visite tourist pass 🚇

💰At 30.60€ for one day, it may be far more expensive than you need

🎟️ A single Paris Metro, train or RER journey costs 2.55€, regardless of distance, excluding airport stations. If you’re making up to 4 journeys, individual tickets will be cheaper.

💶 If you’re planning 5 or more journeys in one day, choose the 12.30€ Navigo Day pass for unlimited travel across zones 1 to 5. That’s a saving of 18.30€ compared with a one-day Paris Visite pass.

📱 You can buy tickets and load your Navigo Day pass directly onto a compatible phone using the official Île-de-France Mobilités app, then simply tap your phone at the barriers.

✈️ Just remember that the Navigo Day pass doesn’t include journeys to Orly or Charles de Gaulle airports, so factor that into your Paris transport plans.

Flying from London Luton Airport? ✈️

Here’s a simple Luton Airport train tip that could save you money before you’ve even reached the terminal! 💰

🚆 When booking your train to Luton Airport, don’t select “Luton Airport Parkway” as your final destination. Despite the name, the station isn’t actually at the airport terminal.

🚝 From Luton Airport Parkway, you’ll need to take the Luton DART, the automated shuttle that connects the railway station with London Luton Airport in around 4 minutes.

💷 Buy the Luton DART separately and an adult single ticket costs £4.90. Instead, book your train ticket all the way to “Luton Airport” and the DART connection is included in your journey.

💡 It’s a tiny detail, but an important one if you’re looking for the cheapest and easiest way to get to Luton Airport by train.
