Tips for Finding Free and Inexpensive Things to Do in Europe
Traveling through Europe doesn’t have to drain your wallet.
And honestly, some of the most memorable moments come from the free or nearly free experiences.
In this episode, I’m sharing my favorite tips for finding free and inexpensive things to do in Europe, whether you’re wandering a big city like Paris or Rome, or exploring a small village in Ireland or Slovenia.
We’ll talk about how to take advantage of free museum days, join donation-based “free” walking tours, and enjoy Europe’s beautiful parks and gardens.
I’ll also dive into the simple pleasures — like discovering street art in unexpected corners, stepping inside centuries-old churches, and hitting local trails for a scenic walk that costs absolutely nothing.
You’ll hear how to blend these low-cost activities into your travels, creating a richer, more authentic experience that connects you with local culture and daily life — without overspending.
Because the truth is, you don’t need a big budget to have a big adventure in Europe.
You just need curiosity, a good pair of walking shoes, and a few smart strategies to make the most of every day.
