Plovdiv is the second-largest city in Bulgaria . It’s also one of the oldest continuously inhabited cities in Europe , its history stretching back all the way to the 6th century BCE.

Plovdiv’s museums, artsy neighborhoods, cobbled streets, Roman ruins, and brightly painted 19th-century mansions make this city a fun, budget-friendly destination.

I loved my time visiting here and it became one of my favorite places in Bulgaria. I found the city to be a peaceful oasis with wonderful parks and ruins that lacked the tourist crowds of Sofia and the Black Sea coast.

Since the city is in the middle of the country, it’s an easy place to visit as you move from one end of the country to the other.

This travel guide to Plovdiv can help you plan your trip, save money, and make the most of your time in this charming destination.

Top 5 Things to See and Do in Plovdiv

Ancient Roman amphitheater at night in Plovdiv, Bulgaria

1. Attend the Night of the Galleries

Every year on September 28th, every single art gallery in Plovdiv stays open into the early hours of the morning. The event is also known locally as Plovdiv Night and is organized by the Open Arts Foundation. Inspired by a similar event in Berlin, Plovdiv began the citywide celebration in 2005. Every attraction in the city participates with its own unique offerings, including public and private museums, art galleries, theaters, cultural centers, bookstores, art spaces, and even urban clubs. Admission is free no matter where you go. You can take free chocolate tours, attend poetry readings, and take part in free events at various bars and cafes too. Tens of thousands of people take part!

2. See the Roman Amphitheater

This ancient Roman theater dates to the first century CE. Modern-day Plovdiv sits on what was once the ancient Roman city of Philippopolis, and the massive ruins of the theater are located in the heart of the city center. Its 28 rows of marble seats once seated up to 6,000 people and it was used for athletic displays such as gladiator fights. Incredibly, the expansive ruins were only recently discovered in the 1970s after a landslide revealed part of the ruins. The Bulgarian Conservation School then began excavating the area and removed around 4.5 meters of earth to uncover the entire structure. It’s one of the best-preserved Roman amphitheaters in the world. Today, it’s used as a stage for drama, music, and opera performances. You can tour the site for 5 BGN.

3. Tour the Archaeological Museum

One of Plovdiv’s original cultural hubs, the museum was first established in the late 1800s. The collection grew until it was officially designated as an Archaeological Museum in the 1920s. Experience the ancient history of the prosperous city of Philippopolis, one of the most important ancient Balkan cities, which once occupied the same land where Plovdiv was built. The collections are organized chronologically, and you’ll begin the tour with Neolithic exhibits and then move through rooms full of artifacts that span the ages. This museum hosts over 100,000 items, including Roman pottery and jewelry, and an enormous collection of Thracian gold works from Panagyurishte (a town in southern Bulgaria) that date to the 3rd century BCE. Admission is 5 BGN.

4. Stroll the pedestrian street

Knyaz Aleksandar I is the main street in Plovdiv and is lined with cafés and shops in pastel-colored Baroque buildings. It stretches 1.75 kilometers (1 mile) and is one of the longest pedestrian streets in Europe. If you want to walk the whole thing, you can begin at the covered bridge which stretches over the Maritsa River. The bridge itself is filled with shops and offers nice views of the river. The long street is always filled with people. The area is lively and colorful with cool shops and unique street art. It’s the best place for people-watching and to enjoy the local pace of life.

5. Day trip to Asenovgrad

Asenovgrad is an important agricultural and religious area in Bulgaria, dotted with monasteries and churches. On a visit to Asenovgrad, you can explore 5 monasteries, 15 churches, and 58 chapels. The town has been dubbed “The Little Jerusalem” due to its many religious institutions. It was first founded by the Thracians around 300 BCE and called Stenimachos. Like the rest of Bulgaria, the area is rich in history. The town also served as an important military stronghold in various wars over the years. Be sure to check out the Asenova Fortress for sweeping views of the surrounding hills and Asenitsa River. A bus or train from Plovdiv costs around 3 BGN and takes about 30 minutes.

Other Things to See and Do in Plovdiv

1. take a free walking tour.

Whenever I visit a new city, the first thing I do is take a free walking tour. It’s the best way to see the main sights and learn about the culture on a budget. Plus, you’ll get to connect with a local expert guide who can answer all your questions. Free Plovdiv Tour organizes a free daily tour that lasts two hours and covers all the main highlights. Just be sure to tip!

2. Tour Hindlian House

A wealthy Armenian merchant named Stepan Hindlian once owned this house in the Old Town, which was built between 1835-40. It contains an extensive collection of historic furniture from that period and the walls are covered in detailed landscape paintings. There’s also an entire marble bathroom and a high-domed ceiling. It’s a neat look at the lavish lifestyles of the city’s former wealthy residents. It costs 5 BGN to visit.

3. Visit the Philippopolis Art Gallery

Bulgaria’s first private art gallery is housed inside a stunning building designed in the National Revival Style of the early 1800s. You’ll see works from 19th and 20th-century Bulgarian masters, including Vladimir Dimitrov, Anton Mitov, and Dimitar Gyudzhenov. There are also often exhibits from modern contemporary artists on display. Admission is free.

4. Attend the International Folklore Festival

Starting on the first weekend of August, Plovdiv turns into one giant open-air folklore music and dance festival. For five days, the streets are filled with parades, concerts, and dancing. Everyone dresses in traditional colorful regalia as they sing and dance. It’s extraordinary to see! For information about each year’s event, check the Visit Plovdiv website .

5. Go wine tasting

Bulgaria has some surprisingly tasty wines, and there are dozens of wine cellars scattered around Plovdiv that you can visit. You can take a tour of these cellars or venture out into the Thracian wine region to visit some of the area’s best vineyards. The Thracian wine region covers the Thracian Valley, the Rhodope Mountains, and parts of the Balkan Mountains range and the Black Sea Coast. Most tours cost 160 BGN for a full day, and you’ll get to visit several wineries, with lunch included.

6. Check out the Cultural Center Thrakart

This building, with its floor-to-ceiling windows, showcases an extensive collection of Roman floor mosaics, as well as various Roman artifacts, pottery, and sculptures dating to the 3rd century CE. There’s also a section highlighting historic glassmaking techniques that’s super interesting. Admission is 8 BGN.

7. See Sveta Marina Church

This little church from the 16th century does not get the attention it deserves. In addition to its 17-meter (56-foot) wooden pagoda-shaped bell tower and its 170-year-old iconostasis (a wall of religious icons and paintings), the church’s outer walls display Old Testament murals. It won’t take you long to see it all, and it’s free.

8. Wander the Tsar Simeon Central Garden

This immaculate green space is the perfect escape from the hectic shopping area of Plovdiv’s main street. There’s a restored fountain of the Goddess Demeter and a Viennese pavilion at the center of the park. The Singing Fountains on the lake also put on a light show with water effects every Thursday, Friday, and Saturday at 9:30pm. It’s the perfect place to wander, relax, and people-watch.

9. Make a trip to Bachkovo Monastery

Just outside of Plovdiv, this monastery dates to 1083 (although most of it was built in the 17th century). The main attraction in the monastery is the Church of Sveta Bogoroditsa, with its interior completely covered in colorful frescoes painted by Zahari Zograf in 1850. The refectory is also full of murals displaying the building’s history. Pilgrims often come to the church to pray in front of the Madonna, which is encased in gold and silver. It’s free to visit the monastery, but the on-site museum costs 4 BGN to visit.

10. Visit the Ethnographic Museum

This museum is housed in a 150-year-old building built in the Renaissance style. It’s enveloped by a tranquil garden and takes you through Bulgarian life from the 19th century to the early 20th century using cultural artifacts like furniture, clothing, and tapestries. There are over 40,000 items in its collection so there’s a lot to see! Admission is 6 BGN.

11. Hike Nebet Hill

Nebet Hill makes up one of the seven hills around Plovdiv, and it’s the site of a giant former Roman fortress. There’s not much left from the fort — all you’ll find are some ruined walls and towers — but most people come up here for the views over Plovdiv, especially at sunset.

12. Explore “The Trap”

The Trap is the nickname given to the neighborhood of Kapana, which used to be the center for merchant trade and craftspeople. Nowadays, it’s an artsy neighborhood filled with trendy restaurants, cafes, street art, bars, and galleries. Most of the area is now a pedestrian-only zone too so it’s perfect for wandering and exploring on foot.

Backpacking Plovdiv Suggested Budgets

If you’re backpacking Plovdiv, expect to spend 60 BGN per day. This assumes you’re staying in a hostel, cooking most of your meals, limiting your drinking, taking public transportation to get around, and sticking to mostly free activities like walking tours and hiking. If you plan on drinking, add 5-10 BGN to your daily budget.

On a mid-range budget of 135 BGN per day, you can stay in a private Airbnb, eat out for most meals at cheap cafes and fast food joints, enjoy a few drinks, take the occasional taxi, and do more paid activities like visiting museums and the Roman amphitheater.

On a “luxury” budget of 230 BGN or more per day, you can stay in a hotel, eat out anywhere you want, drink more, rent a car to get around or take more taxis, and do whatever tours and activities you want. This is just the ground floor for luxury though. The sky is the limit!

Keep in mind these are daily averages — some days you’ll spend more, some days you’ll spend less (you might spend less every day). We just want to give you a general idea of how to make your budget. Prices are in BGN.

Plovdiv Travel Guide: Money-Saving Tips

Prices in Plovdiv are pretty consistent compared with other destinations in Bulgaria, making it a very affordable place to visit. There are lots of cheap and free things to do here so it will be hard to break the bank unless you are looking to really try to spend your money. Here are some ways to cut your costs in Plovdiv:

  • Stay with a local – If you plan ahead, you can usually find really nice Couchsurfing host in Plovdiv. This way, you not only have a free place to stay, but you’ll have a local host that can share their insider tips and advice.
  • Get a Plovdiv City Card – The Plovdiv City Card has tons of good deals, including free admission to 12 museums and a free wine tour. It’s 24 BGN for a one-day pass and 36 BGN for a three-day pass.
  • Take a free walking tour – Walking tours are a great way to get familiar with a city and its culture. Free Plovdiv Tour is an excellent company to try. Be sure to tip your guide at the end!
  • Look for free events – Many of Plovdiv’s events and festivals are free to attend, so ask your hostel or host what’s going on during your visit.
  • Limit your drinking – Alcohol here is cheap so it can be all too easy to spend more than you want by going out to the bar. Buy your drinks from the store instead of the bar or cut back on your drinking altogether. Those cheap beers add up!
  • Skip the taxis – Taxis are cheap here, but they also add up. Stick to public transportation if you’re on a budget.
  • Bring a water bottle – The tap water here is safe to drink so bring a reusable water bottle to save money and reduce your plastic use. LifeStraw is my go-to brand as their bottles have built-in filters to ensure your water is always clean and safe.

Where to Stay in Plovdiv

Plovdiv has some excellent and affordable hostels. Here are some of my favorite places to stay:

  • Hikers Hostel Plovdiv
  • Hakuna Matata
  • Hostel Old Plovdiv

How to Get Around Plovdiv

Public transportation – Most of Plovdiv’s main attractions are within walking distance to one another, so you’ll rarely have to use public transportation. If you do need to take it, the bus is really the only way to getting around. A one-way ticket costs 1 BGN so it’s super affordable.

Taxi – The normal start rate for a taxi in Plovdiv is 1.50 BGN, and then it’s an additional 1.60 BGN per kilometer. Make sure your taxi is metered as some drivers have been known to try and overcharge tourists.

Uber is not available here.

Bicycle – Renting a bicycle in Plovdiv is an excellent way to get around the city center. You can rent a bicycle for eight hours from Plovdiv Bike Rent for 18 BGN. A 24-hour rental is just 20 BGN.

Car rental – Car rentals can be found for around 27 BGN per day for a multi-day rental. You won’t need a car to get around the city, however, if you want to explore the region it might be helpful. Drivers need to be at least 21 to rent a car. An IDP (International Driving Permit) is required.

When to Go to Plovdiv

Spring and summer in Plovdiv are lovely times to visit, with the average daily temperature hovering around 31°C (88°F) between May and August. The busiest months (July and August) bring in lots of tourists and higher accommodation prices so be sure to book early if you’re visiting in the summer.

Fall (September-November) is also pleasant, with temperatures ranging from 7-18°C (46-66°F). There aren’t as many tourists as in summer so things are a bit cheaper and a bit quieter. It can get chilly and windy, though, so pack warm clothing.

Winter temperatures drop below 3°C (27°F) and the city sees very few tourists during this time. It’s not the best time to visit, but you can still visit a lot of the museums if you come in winter. Generally, however, I’d skip a winter visit if you can.

How to Stay Safe in Plovdiv

Plovdiv is a very small and safe city. Violent crime is rare, as are scams and petty crime. Of course, you’ll always want to keep your valuables secure when you’re out and about just to be safe (especially on crowded public transportation and in busy tourist areas).

Solo female travelers should generally feel safe here, however, the standard precautions apply (never leave your drink unattended at the bar, never walk home alone intoxicated, etc.).

Some taxi drivers have been known to overcharge their customers, so make sure your driver has a metered cab before you get in it. You can read about common travel scams to avoid right here.

If you experience an emergency, dial 112 for assistance.

The most important piece of advice I can offer is to purchase good travel insurance. Travel insurance will protect you against illness, injury, theft, and cancellations. It’s comprehensive protection in case anything goes wrong. I never go on a trip without it as I’ve had to use it many times in the past.

Underrated Escapes: 9 Reasons to Visit Plovdiv, Bulgaria

travel escape plovdiv

Stepping into Plovdiv is to step back in time – ancient cobbled streets, boho cafes, and galleries galore – but don’t let the old charm fool you; this city is built upon layers of history and boasts a dynamic night life scene, an active artist community, a rich culture, and plenty of delicious and unique food.  One of the oldest cities in Europe, this small, pedestrian friendly city is great for walking to soak up the Greek and Roman historical sites.  Mild winters and hot summers mean that Plovdiv can be on your itinerary any time of year.  Many travelers often see Plovdiv as merely a convenient stopover point on their European trips or sadly bypass this beautiful city in favor of the larger and more bustling Sofia, but this gem of a city is worth its own visit with plenty to see and do.  Often underrated, here is why you should check out this cultural hotspot:

City Overview

The city of Plovdiv is the second largest city in Bulgaria with a population of over 300 thousand people.  Found on the banks of the Maritsa River on the large plain between the Rhodope Mountains and the Balkan Range, on a clear day you can see both mountain ranges from the city center.  Plovdiv’s history goes back over 6000 years – once a Thracian city before becoming Greek then Roman.  In the middle ages, this city went back and forth between the Byzantine and Bulgarian Empires, and then fell under Ottoman rule.  Plovdiv was liberated by Russia in 1878, became part of Eastern Rumelia, but then became part of Bulgaria.  Although Plovdiv never gets very cold, the best time to visit is spring through fall to give you the most time outdoors to wander this ancient city’s streets.  In Bulgaria, you will be using the Bulgarian lev as currency.

Roman Amphitheater

Getting Around

Plovdiv has a prime location that makes it an international transport hub – the upside of which means that there are plenty of options to get into the city.  Plovdiv has an international airport, a train station, and 3 bus stations, so getting into the city is no problem.  Once you are there, taxis and buses will help you get around (there are around 29 main and 10 extra bus lines).  If you are traveling in a small group, taxis are your cheapest option – just keep a careful eye out to spot fake taxis that will trick their customers with accelerated counters.  With such a small downtown area and safe streets, you will most likely be walking to get around.  Make the most of it by giving yourself the time to wander to your daily destinations so that you can savor the strolls down the beautiful cobbled streets.  Stop for coffee, pop into a coffee shop that smells good, or sit down on a bench and watch the locals.

Arts and Culture

There are many places to explore the arts and culture scene in Plovdiv.  Found in a local nineteenth century house, the Ethnographic Museum is a great place to learn about the traditions and lives of Bulgarian people from the Plovdiv region, and you can see exhibits on farming, crafts, traditions, and folklore.  Visit the Bachkavo Monasastery (about 30 kilometers from Plovdiv) and the Djumaya Mosque to learn some of the religious history and culture of the area.  A great place to learn and explore the arts scene of Plovdiv is at the Cultural Center-Museum TrakArt near Stambolov Square.  Here, you will have a chance to see incredible Roman mosaics, ceramics, and ancient glass bowls.  Try the guided tour for an informative experience and take all the photos you want!  For some more recent history, consider checking out the Plovdiv Regional Historical Museum where you can learn about the rich social history of the 19 th century.  Plovdiv is home to the International Fair Plovdiv, the theatrical festival A Stage on a Crossroad, and the TV festival The Golden Chest, so check the schedule when you are in town.

Food and Drink

Eating and drinking in Plovdiv is cheap in comparison to the western world, which means that you can enjoy your fill of the high quality, delicious local food that is readily available when you are in town.  Local food and drink is mostly made up of stewed meats, soups, fresh salads, cheeses, and wine.  For the budget conscious, head to the main street where you can grab a bowl of delicious soup at Supa Bar for around 3 leva, or try tapas and wine at Vino Culture, and get a real taste for the local food at Grazhdanski Klubb (Citizens’ Club) .  If you have a bit more money to spend, head to Hebros Hotel Restaurant, Elea Restaurant, Hemingway, or Megdana.  Vegetarians or vegans can enjoy Veggic, and dessert lovers can flock to Afreddo Gelateria (which also has great coffee!) or Sweet House Kolakov to finish off their meals.  Take advantage of the delicious local wine by trying the Wine Diversion tour, and try to catch the annual Young Wine Parade in late November where you can sample and learn about local area wines.

Attractions

Being an ancient city with a rich history, many of the attractions of Plovdiv are exploring the old buildings.  For a one of a kind souvenir, try the Old Plovdiv Retro Photo, where you will dress up in traditional Bulgarian Folk costumes (or ancient Roman costumes!) and have your photo taken to document your trip.  Explore the Roman ruins in Plovdiv Old town, including the Plovdiv Roman Theatre.  If you have a morning or afternoon free, consider checking out the nearby Assenova krepost (Asen’s Fortress).  You will have to hire a driver or take a bus to Asenovgrad, then walk uphill (about 3 kilometers) to the old fortress where you’ll get some jaw dropping panoramic views of the area.  Keen to learn more about the Soviet history of the city?  Check out the Alyosha Soviet Army Memorial atop one of the seven hills of Plovdiv, where you can learn about Plovdiv history while soaking up the view of the city.

When the sun goes down, there is no shortage of options in Plovdiv if you’re not quite ready to call it a day.  If you’re in town in the summer, head to The King’s Stables – an outdoor venue where you can grab some food, drinks, and relax to the sounds of live local music.  If you are in the mood for dancing, try Secrets folk & more club, Club Pasha, Plazma, Planeta Payner, or Galaxy Live Club – all great spots for clubbing until the sun comes up.  Dying to impress the locals with your karaoke skills?  Stop by Marmalad Bar and Diner on Friday nights to show off your pipes.  If you don’t want to settle on a place and simply wish to see where the night takes you, head to the Kapana neighborhood just north of the Dzhumaya mosque where there is a large concentration of pavement cafés where you can grab some cocktails, make some new friends, and just go with the flow.

Accommodations

Since Plovdiv is such a small city, wherever you choose to stay will be a prime spot from which to explore the entire city. This old city has plenty of budget, mid-range, and luxury options that will keep you comfortable and safe when you are in town.  Book well in advance and keep your eyes open to get the best deal.  The top budget friendly options are Hostel Old Plovdiv, The Crib, My Guest Rooms Plovdiv, and Bike Hostel Plovdiv, where you can opt for dorm rooms to save cash and meet other travelers from all over the world as an added bonus.  Mid range options that give you more privacy but don’t break the bank are Hotel Ego, Landmark Creek Hotel, Hotel Nord, and Hotel Leipzig.  If you are feeling fancy, splurge and treat yourself at Hotel Imperial, Park Hotel, Sankt Peterburg Park Hotel, or Novotel Plovdiv for some deluxe options.

Plovdiv Bulgaria

Because downtown Plovdiv is so pedestrian friendly, the best way to explore the local shopping scene is to hit the ground running and meander through the wide streets that are studded with shops and cafés to keep you caffeinated and energized on your shopping sprees.  With few international brands, you will step away from mainstream shopping and experience the local stores and styles for footwear and fashion on Knyaz Alexander I street.  If you are looking for craft shops, local jewelry, or unique fashion, head to Otets Paisiy Street, Saborna Street, and the Kapana district for some good spots to get your shop on.  If you are looking for a special antique to take home and commemorate your trip for years to come, go to Old Town where you can find ancient paintings, furniture, books, and even weapons at one of the many antique stores.  Make sure you try out your haggling skills – prices at antique stores aren’t fixed.  Finally, for large scale malls – check out the Shopping Center Grand, Market Center, or the Galeria Mall.

Bulgarian arts and gifts

Sports and Recreation

Plovdiv has much to offer in the world of sports and recreation.  The Plovdiv Sports complex is a great place to check out a football (soccer) game at the Stadium, or simply enjoy the grounds and hit the tennis courts, swimming pools, and playgrounds.  Join the locals for a run along the Maritsa River to stay healthy on vacation.  Check the schedule for the international boxing tournament Strandzha to see if you can catch a match when you are in town.  If you are in the city for an extended period of time, consider a longer trip to the nearby Rhodope Mountains where you can explore Thracian temple-tombs, hit the slopes for skiing or snowboarding at the world class ski resort Pamporovo, go for a hike in the hills, check out the National Rila Park, or head to Spa Hotel Devin for a relaxing and luxurious spa and wellness experience.

Think You Can't Afford a Beach Getaway? Here's How You Can

T he beach is a dream destination for those looking for a relaxing escape. But it can also be an expensive vacation, especially as travel costs keep rising. If you want a beach getaway, these tips can help you plan a low-cost trip without sacrificing your favorite beach activities.

Where to find savings on beach vacations

Sun, waves, ocean activities and peaceful relaxation — a beach vacation offers something to please every traveler. But prices have increased with recent inflation, which has travelers rethinking their options.

According to a recent survey by Forbes , 46% said they would change their travel plans in 2024 due to rising costs, potentially shortening travel, choosing less desirable destinations and canceling trips altogether.

Before you cancel your beach trip, look for savings instead. Food, accommodations and travel are the biggest expenses on a vacation. With some planning and research, you can find savings on these expenses.

Tips to save money on beach accommodations

Accommodations are a significant cost on most beach trips. Hotels, resorts and vacation rentals with easy beach access are often in high demand and are priced accordingly. Cut your accommodation expenses with these tips.

Choose a budget-friendly destination

You’ll find low-cost beaches on both U.S. coasts. Beach towns like Daytona Beach in northeast Florida and Carlsbad, CA are great choices for affordable beach vacations. Daytona Beach is a year-round destination packed with things to do, including a boardwalk, speedway, museums and more. Carlsbad, located 30 miles from San Diego, offers beautiful scenery and a laid-back vibe.

Travel during the shoulder season

Beaches are generally busiest at the height of summer and hotels will cost more. Opt to travel in the two months before or after the peak season, often called the “shoulder season,” when AAA notes that hotels lower their prices. You’ll also see fewer crowds, but the weather will still be nice while you enjoy the sun and water.

Camp at the beach

Beach camping offers some of the cheapest beachside accommodations you can find. With national parks, state parks and private campgrounds at many beaches, you can find options for beach camping for both tents and RVs. Some beach campgrounds will even let you camp right on the sand for unbeatable ocean access.

18 ideas for visiting a museum on your next trip

Opt for a shorter trip.

Each night’s accommodation can add a few hundred dollars to a trip. Cutting a few days off of your trip — turning a week-long trip into a five-day trip, for instance — will reduce costs, yet give you plenty of time to enjoy the vacation. 

The other top way to save on your beach getaway is to start thinking about your trip as soon as possible. Anitria Roberts, travel advisor and owner of Travel by AJ, LLC , notes that, “The key to planning an affordable beach vacation is to book in advance. Planning at least nine months to one year in advance of your desired travel dates will provide the best rates as well as availability. If your plans are flexible, consider travel during the weekdays when hotel and airfare prices are lower than during the weekend.”

Travel affordably with budget-friendly transportation

Getting to your destination is another expense for a beach vacation. Airfare costs can leave you spending a large portion of your vacation budget on travel.

If you are traveling by plane, these tips can reduce the cost of airfare to popular beach destinations:

  • Find the dates with the best fares : If your travel dates are flexible, plan your trip when flights are most affordable. Travel apps can often help you pinpoint these dates. Kayak, for example, has a best time to travel tool that will find the best prices based on your destination and trip length.
  • Fly midweek : According to data compiled by Google Flights , the best prices on plane flights are for Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday flights. Booking your flights for these days can save you 12% on airfare.
  • Travel light with a carry-on : Many airlines charge for checking a bag. Plan your packing list carefully to fit everything you’ll need in a carry-on to avoid those checked bag fees.

Turn a beach trip into a road trip

If you are within driving distance of the coast, you can save on travel by driving instead of flying. Driving is often significantly cheaper than airfare, and it gives you the opportunity to make your trip into more than just a beach vacation. As you plan your road trip , look for interesting stops and overnight stays along the way to break up the drive.

Save on food and dining on a beach vacation

Limiting what you spend on food will help you stick to a budget on your beach getaway. Eating meals at restaurants can add up quickly, so reducing the number of meals eaten out is a great opportunity to save.

  • Book a hotel with a free breakfast : With your breakfast included in your accommodation cost, you’ll only have to pay for two meals per day.
  • Get a room with a kitchenette : If your hotel room has a refrigerator and microwave, you can keep some snacks and quick lunches on hand. Stock up at the grocery store at the beginning of your trip and limit how often and how much you have to eat out.
  • Get a vacation rental with a full kitchen : When traveling with a group, renting a condo can be more cost-effective than hotel rooms. Having a full kitchen means you can save money on your meals. Try fresh, local seafood in this quick cioppino recipe . Easy and delicious, it will taste as luxurious as a restaurant meal without the cost.

Enjoy a beach getaway without breaking the bank

If you want to get a beach vacation on the calendar this year, don’t let the cost deter you. Escaping to the beach can be an affordable trip with some advance planning and a few steps to save on travel, food and lodging. Without having to worry about your budget, you’ll be free to enjoy the sun and sand.

Touring the Top 10 Moscow Metro Stations

By Claudia Looi 2 Comments

Komsomolskaya metro station

Komsomolskaya metro station looks like a museum. It has vaulted ceilings and baroque decor.

Hidden underground, in the heart of Moscow, are historical and architectural treasures of Russia. These are Soviet-era creations – the metro stations of Moscow.

Our guide Maria introduced these elaborate metro stations as “the palaces for the people.” Built between 1937 and 1955, each station holds its own history and stories. Stalin had the idea of building beautiful underground spaces that the masses could enjoy. They would look like museums, art centers, concert halls, palaces and churches. Each would have a different theme. None would be alike.

The two-hour private tour was with a former Intourist tour guide named Maria. Maria lived in Moscow all her life and through the communist era of 60s to 90s. She has been a tour guide for more than 30 years. Being in her 60s, she moved rather quickly for her age. We traveled and crammed with Maria and other Muscovites on the metro to visit 10 different metro stations.

To Maria, every street, metro and building told a story. I couldn’t keep up with her stories. I don’t remember most of what she said because I was just thrilled being in Moscow.   Added to that, she spilled out so many Russian words and names, which to one who can’t read Cyrillic, sounded so foreign and could be easily forgotten.

The metro tour was the first part of our all day tour of Moscow with Maria. Here are the stations we visited:

1. Komsomolskaya Metro Station  is the most beautiful of them all. Painted yellow and decorated with chandeliers, gold leaves and semi precious stones, the station looks like a stately museum. And possibly decorated like a palace. I saw Komsomolskaya first, before the rest of the stations upon arrival in Moscow by train from St. Petersburg.

2. Revolution Square Metro Station (Ploshchad Revolyutsii) has marble arches and 72 bronze sculptures designed by Alexey Dushkin. The marble arches are flanked by the bronze sculptures. If you look closely you will see passersby touching the bronze dog's nose. Legend has it that good luck comes to those who touch the dog's nose.

3. Arbatskaya Metro Station served as a shelter during the Soviet-era. It is one of the largest and the deepest metro stations in Moscow.

4. Biblioteka Imeni Lenina Metro Station was built in 1935 and named after the Russian State Library. It is located near the library and has a big mosaic portrait of Lenin and yellow ceramic tiles on the track walls.

5. Kievskaya Metro Station was one of the first to be completed in Moscow. Named after the capital city of Ukraine by Kiev-born, Nikita Khruschev, Stalin's successor.

6. Novoslobodskaya Metro Station  was built in 1952. It has 32 stained glass murals with brass borders.

7. Kurskaya Metro Station was one of the first few to be built in Moscow in 1938. It has ceiling panels and artwork showing Soviet leadership, Soviet lifestyle and political power. It has a dome with patriotic slogans decorated with red stars representing the Soviet's World War II Hall of Fame. Kurskaya Metro Station is a must-visit station in Moscow.

8. Mayakovskaya Metro Station built in 1938. It was named after Russian poet Vladmir Mayakovsky. This is one of the most beautiful metro stations in the world with 34 mosaics painted by Alexander Deyneka.
