Rome for Cheap

BUDGET. It's one of the biggest things to consider when you go on travel. With a budget so tight, you think your travel will be so limited you might as well not go there because you might just not have fun. Well, worry-wart, the keyword there was THINK, MIGHT, and YOU. In short, it's just your state of mind.

In reality, there could be a way that you will have a great time in a travel - however limited your budget is. It's just a matter of looking for cheap accommodations, great fare or flight deals, tasty but affordable restaurants, and taking a whole new perspective of what a tourist spot is.

Accommodations in Rome are not that scarce. Actually, there's a lot of them. But there are only a few, like some Rome vacation rentals in Trastevere, which are cheap but gives you a nice comfortable feeling when you sleep. Just make sure that when you choose the perfect Rome vacation rental, see to it that it's near most of the other places you need access to. For example, restaurants, bus stations, tourist spots, market, grocery, etc. The nearer it is to everything, the bigger savings you would get since you don't need to ride anymore.

Speaking of ride, one thing that eats up the biggest part of your budget are your plane tickets. They cost a fortune, don't they? The biggest secret to having cheap flights are looking for promos and booking them ahead. Nobody ever went wrong with saving money in booking ahead. With other means of transportation, take the public transit. If not, walk. Walking would make you appreciate the place more. And that's our next savings tip.

Walk around. The best scenes of the place are not really on fancy places with exorbitant entrance fees. Walk around and you will see the beauty of the place. Go to museums with cheap entrance fees or even those which are for free. Go to plazas, or famous landmarks without spending too much.

And speaking of spending too much, FOOD is often one thing that we spend too much on. But you can always look for restaurants which doesn't cost that much but would still give you the taste of Rome. Trattorias are one of them. Great food without paying great, huge price.

So with all these in mind, do you think you're ready for some a budget-tight vacation? Well, you better be. Just make sure that the best thing to do to get the best out of your vacation is simply to enjoy and have fun.
