First of all; your enthusiasm is contagious! However, my two recommendations, would be Bucharest, Romania and Tirana, Albania. As a solo traveller, I hardly go to restaurants. However, those two cities have many great museums, beautiful architecture (especially Bucharest), and a very interesting history. AND they are very affordable!

[@woltersworld]

thanks Rita!

[@brianpan6453]

I'm a solo traveler and go to restaurants all the time. Just not expensive ones. I hate cooking in an apartment and eating alone when I could be outdoors exploring and eating at a place that looks interesting (always ask locals for recommendations!). I found the key to food savings is to eat a light breakfast and then dinner (or whatever meal they offer) between 3 and 5 p.m. Dinner typically costs twice as much as lunch. You can snack a bit during the day (buy a to go sandwich and coffee and enjoy your lunch in a central park!). Just my input.

[@thewanderingweave6286]

Yes, another vote for Tirana, Albania here. Also, as I am sure Mark knows, Berlin. I am always surprised how little we seem to spend when visiting there.

[@utpalbanerjee5791]

Last year I travelled Poland. Three cities Krakow, Wroclaw, Warsaw I visited. Peoples there are really beautiful and cordial, helpful. In two cases I was in trouble to buy tram tickets, when I asked help from fellow passengers then they simply bought tickets for me and my wife. When I tried to repay in cash they simply refused to take with smile. I remember their warmth for an unknown tourists like us.

[@Snowshowslow]

Hi :) I know your comment is from a while back, but can I ask you whether you would recommend Wroclaw or Warsaw? I am in doubt between the two and you were in both :)

I don’t think I’ll ever forget the feeling of coming out of the train station in Monastiraki straight from the airport, and turning around and seeing the acropolis for the first time. Truly amazing (and the food in Athens is super cheap and delicious)

[@DunhillX1]

Emily Clement: If you ever go to Athens again you should visit the neighbourhood of *Anafiotika* It's located directly below the Acropolis and one of the first neighbourhoods of Athens. It's full of neo-classic houses and if you climb high enough you'll see magnificent views of the city. I discovered it when I was getting lost in the winding streets. Lovely! Also I discovered a lake in southern Athens. It was called *Lake Vouliagmeni* and is located in the suburb of Vouliagmeni and approx. a 30 minute taxi ride form down-town Athens. Worth it.

Jessica Emily I live in Athens.Now there is a revolution in Athens.They build too many new hotels and the most of them are 5 stars.Many new restaurants at the centre and it starts the hellinikon project.At a land in Athens at the sea that used as airport many years before they build a new city only for entertainment with houses hotels casino resturants clubs malls gardens marinas beaches aquarium and many more.The size of this new city in Athens is 3 time the monaco and its the biggest project in europe.The design of this city is from architect norman foster.Next years Athens will become one of the best tourist destinations in the wold.Its one of the safest cities too with the best weather.

[@admirjelegenda]

One of the best cheap towns i've been to are Ljubljana ( Slovenia ), Dubrovnik ( Croatia ), Mostar ( Bosnia & Herzegovina ), Kotor ( Montenegro ), Zlatibor ( Serbia ), Ohrid ( Macedonia ), Nasebar ( Bulgaria ) & Krakow ( Poland ). Really cool places to visit if your into history and good food!

Dubrovnik prices have more than tripled in the last two years, It's about as expensive as Venice now unfortunately. I bought two noodle boxes and two beers and it cost me 31 euros!

[@smaras]

Croatia itself is getting more and more expensive. I think it's a normal thing since economy is growing. Tourism also, is booming rapidly. But yeah, Dubrovnik prices are insane. Parking is a fucking nightmare.

It really depends on where you buy, from my experience there, but it and Hvar are easily the most expensive places in Croatia, by a wide margin

Lots of history too

[@mauroortiz3047]

Dubrovnik is so expensive! I rather would include Sofia, Bucharest, or St.Petersburg.

[@tilikumtim5562]

It's only expensive depending on where you eat and the type of accomodation you stay at. I rented a one bed apartment a few minutes from the old town (had an amazing balcony view) for 50 eur/night. And I didn't eat out in restuarants in the old town as they charge a lot. Most things to do in Dubrovnik don't require spending much money. I wouldn't necessarly include it in a list of the most inexpensive cities in Europe to visit though, as there are cheaper alternatives, although very few places compare to it.

[@limitlessbianca]

I used to see Croatian cities in the list of "cheap places" in many blogs. I think their price blew up thanks to Game of Thrones, and then now people are starting to go to Croatia after they placed 2nd in the world cup. Zagreb is still a lot cheaper, but everybody keep saying it's not really worth visiting long.

[@Oasis221]

There is a train that connects Prague, Bratislava and Budapest. It is insanely cheap. For the ride from Budapest to Bratislava we paid 9€ per Person and this was not a slow train, took us only two and a half hours. Worth checking out.

Cornelia A. Hey, I'm just thinking about going to Budapest (I'm from Prague). Where did you find the train pretty please?

[@Corneliaa]

MaxatorCZ We just went to the station and asked at the international travel counter in Budapest. Maybe you can do the same in Prague? All I know is: The station is called Budapest-Nyugati. According to my 'Deutsche Bahn' App there is an EC that takes 6.28h from Prague to Budapest-Nyugati. It must be this train. I hope that helps.

The zloty (at that time at least, dunno if it changed) was valued at about 1/3 of a USD, but what was cool was the NUMBER AMOUNT for things was the same as US.

Overall, this video was a great way to explore a new culture and I highly recommend it to anyone looking to experience something different.

[@wotan20]

Excellent advices overall. The key for the tourist to get a less hectic and more value oriented travel is to avoid those huge metropolitan areas in Europe, where it is always crowded and most tourists tend to congregate, thus competing for services, such as hotels, restaurants, museums etc. Also, it is in these places, where the danger of pickpockets and sundry tourist scams are the most acutely present. In a way, the same goes for capital cities most of the time. That's why I particularly loved the Krakow, Dubrovnik, Porto, Valencia suggestions. In this more adventurous spirit, I'd substitute Prague with Brün, or Budapest with Pécs, Szeged, or Debrecen.

[@CeltSfodster]

My patents moved from UK to General Toshivo in Bulgaria a few years back. It's right near Dobritch and Varna and also a short drive from Costantine in Romania. Bulgaria is a beautiful country, the people are so nice and when I first visited with my wife and kids the locals would often stop us as we walked by their houses and run inside for gifts for the kids such as fruit and colouring books. At the local bar we struggled to buy our own drinks as every time we went someone had already bought our next round for us! Nasdrave!!

[@RogueNinjaChef]

I've traveled to Prague several times. Back in 2000 it was manageable, but now it's so incredibly crowded all year long except during winter. Spring months are overrun with school groups from other Euro nations. Lots of scams and shady characters in the tourist areas. Cabs scam tourists. I recommend Brasov, Romania. We rented a car and drove from the Bucharest airport. We didn't have time to visit Bucharest. Brasov is near the Carpathian Mountains and within a manageable drive to Bran (Dracula's) Castle and other cool sites. Great food too! My biggest regret is only spending 3 days there. Needed more time. I agree with Krakow. It's my favorite Eastern European city. Beautiful sites, great food, affordable, and friendly people.

Great vid, and great to see places not nearly as oft mentioned as other European destinations. Been to several - Prague, Porto and Lisbon - loved them all. Prague was a nice, inexpensive side trip from Germany, which was already mostly fairly priced. Did Porto and Lisbon after a month in Spain back several years ago. Was sort of an afterthought - "hey, we're already in the peninsula, why not?" I really liked Lisbon, but (very walkable) Porto was the surprise of an action packed trip. Hoping to visit a bunch of the rest this year.

I have been there and I loved every minute of it. Overall a beautiful city (despite having its share of run-down areas). Everything is inexpensive - the accomodation, the eating and drinking, the attractions, the transport. Well worth a visit.

Prague is relatively inexpensive but Brno is cheaper still and has lots to see too, and beautiful surroundings!

[@TheNimfadora]

Wonderfule video. Awesome places in europe. Very well informative. Thanks for the great work.

[@megatran2010]

Mark, I love your selections as I've been to 8 of the 9 or 10 cities except the 2 in Lavia & Estonia you've mentioned. If I may, I would also add Istanbul, Turkey, Sofia, Bulgaria & Skopje, North Macedonia to the list. I really like Istanbul as it's the only place on earth that resides between the 2 continents, Asia & Europe & you can take a 20-minute ferry for only about 1 Euro to go from 1 side to the other. I've never seen a place w/ so many people in my life, especially Taksim Square so it's like a zoo but I love, love it. Anyway, you're a cool guy & funny as heck. Keep your channel going & keep up the good work.

Valencia is amazing. Perfect combination between futuristic buildings and classic buildings

@@butlerson , I did not know that they ban jewish people in Valencia, where Cani find info to verify that? I used to live in Valencia.

@@judymckee5992 this is bullshit. What are u talking about? I live in the region and I work in a hotel in Valencia city. I've done myself many check in to jewish people. Everybody is welcome here.

[@judymckee5992]

@@PS-uz4ep , I agree with you that all visitors are welcome. There is a history in the 14th century, of Spain kicking out the jewish people. It was during that time that Columbus discovered America and the jewish people, went into the new land.

Yay! Portugal 2x; I may get some extra benefits from speaking basic Portuguese in the USA these past few years after all

Nice and cheerful video man! 👌🏼

[@johnburnett5377]

Thanks for the video. I will be in Germany this summer, but will have one week all to myself and needed some recommendations...Spain it is!

[@jobey2656]

Athens is my favorite city ever. I've been to most European countries as well! It's such a phenomenal city. I'd highly recommend it.

[@ElliottStoddard]

I am visiting Tallinn now, and it is wonderful. The black bread is good local food, but there are a lot of good restaurants with food from other cultures here too. The other cities on your list are great too. My dream is to spend winters in Dubrovnik, and summers in Tallinn. Yea, old towns with red tile roofs make me happy.

[@woltersworld]

Sounds like a perfect combination :) both are such awesome cities.

[@davidbaldwin2937]

This summer I was blessed to see Prague, Vienna, and Budapest. Coming back to the states has been quite the European hangover lol. Ready to get back to Europe!! Thanks Wolters World for the great videos and suggestions!!

[@hlynnkeith9334]

So glad to hear that Lisbon is on this list!

[@olgashenfeld7882]

Come to Kyiv. Great food, awesome churches, and wonderful atmosphere.

Very nicely, and respectfully described the cities means u really liked and learned from what they have to offer great tube channel I would suggest Durres, Dhermi and Saranda Albania during the summer time.

Prague & Budapest......beautiful cities. Will eventually get to the others.

[@njnikusha]

[@stevejon381]

Berlin? What a great vibe...Prices reasonable and no more than Prague. Wroclaw in Poland is also very nice.

[@rtsharlotte]

Belgrade in Serbia, Skopje in Macedonia, Bucharest in Romania and Sarajevo in Bosnia. Membership in the the EU has shot up prices for tourists. My advice follow the backpackers.
