Top 10 Cheapest Place To Fly To In Europe From Canada

1. Kraków

Krakow, Poland, is a city that should be on everyone’s travel list. It’s similar to Prague, but with fewer tourists and lower prices. Krakow is a favorite destination for many travelers on their trip to Poland because of its big market square, colorful streets, ancient sites, and a plethora of wonderful, budget-friendly restaurants. We spent five days in Krakow and the surrounding area, and this is our list of the top things to do in Krakow.

Krakow is one of Europe’s best towns, a young and energetic city with attractive cobblestone streets in the old town and a vast urban green belt surrounding it. It also includes reasonably priced, high-quality eateries and lodging! The historic city was saved during WWII, but Auschwitz, one of Europe’s most brutal concentration camps, is a must-see while in Krakow.

The average cost of a one-bed Airbnb is £59 ($77).

2. Riga, Latvia 

Riga, Latvia’s capital and largest city, is home to more than a third of the country’s population. The city stands on the Gulf of Riga, with the Daugava River running through it, and is one of the most important administrative, financial, and cultural hubs in the Baltics.

The city has been dominated by everyone from the Swedes and Poles to the Soviet Union throughout its history due to its strategic and scenic location. As a result, the former Hanseatic League member has a fascinating background to explore, with many outstanding historic sights to see.

Aside from its spectacular medieval Old Town, which houses many of the city’s key tourist attractions, the city has the world’s highest concentration of Art Nouveau structures. There are plenty of things to do in Riga, including fashionable pubs, hip cafes, and wonderful restaurants, as well as the adjacent beaches of Jurmala.

3. Esk Krumlov, Czech Republic

Esk Krumlov is similar to Prague but without the stag parties. Its baroque streets all lead to the massive castle complex in the city’s heart. It’s lovely in the summer, but the vistas are even better in the winter when it’s snow-covered. You can also warm yourself in one of the numerous quaint cafés or sample traditional fare in one of the live music venues.

4. Bucharest

5. Belgrade

Is there a European capital that has experienced greater turmoil than Belgrade? This is one of the continent’s oldest towns, located at the crossroads of empires and the confluence of the mighty Danube and Sava rivers. Few structures in Belgrade are older than a couple of hundred years, owing to the frequent war and turmoil.

Belgrade, on the other hand, is captivating for its turbulent past, combining high culture with a fun-loving attitude. On Skardarlija, the bohemian street, or the splavovi, party boats moored on the Danube and Sava, you can sense this thirst for life. The stronghold of Belgrade dominates the cityscape, while orthodox churches and palaces for Serbian nobility arose following the country’s independence in the nineteenth century.

The once-desolate Savamala district is now home to a booming cultural scene, smoky dive bars and music venues compete for space among old communist architecture. If you’re seeking a little, calm piece of nature, go to Ada Ciganlija, a reclaimed island on the Sava river.

The average cost of a one-bed Airbnb is £39 ($51).

6. Lithuania’s Kaunas

Kaunas is one of the European Capitals of Culture, with over 1,000 activities scheduled to commemorate the occasion.

If you’re looking for something a little stranger, go to the Devil’s Museum.

This city is built for walking, and you will always feel the urge to take a stroll due to the lovely, wide main square that is also a center of attraction. While this will reduce your spending on transport, you will also be opportuned to visit some beautiful places. 

The average cost of a one-bed Airbnb is £51 ($66).

8. Argos (Greece)

Argos is one of the world’s oldest inhabited cities. It was also controlled by the son of Zeus at one point, according to history. It’s also largely off the beaten road, so you can enjoy the peace and quietness while exploring the remnants of an ancient theatre, a prehistoric castle, and a sixth-century BC Roman Agora.

Closing

Europe is a fantastic area to visit with so much variety, temperature variances, and culture to experience. The other amazing thing is that getting from one area to another usually just takes a few hours because everything is so close together. Traveling to these locations in the summer is usually more expensive, which comes as no surprise. Travel costs are usually determined by the number of tourists present, as tourists are ready to pay higher prices.
