1. Take advantage of public transportation If on a budget, it is easy to assume that you will not be taking a taxi. What then are the options for public transportation?
Most cities offer various passes for their public transportation, ranging from day-long to month-long. If you’re spending a week in a city, a week-long pass may be worth the investment. The more you ride, the cheaper your ticket!
2. Picnic!
European cities are often known for their well-maintained parks and communal areas. On clear days, take advantage of them by bringing your own picnic.
When shopping for your picnic, try and buy at a local market, where regionally grown produce is often cheaper. You save some euros while supporting the local industry at the same time.

I totally agree with the 2 tips about using public transportation and eating picnics instead of at restaurants. I traveled to many places in Europe, and these are great ways to save money!

Plan everything. If you want to keep your costs down while traveling in Europe, leave nothing to chance. Build an itinerary to follow, noting how many nights you plan to stay in each place. This schedule will help you book your travel arrangements and accommodations in advance. Develop your itinerary carefully, however, as once it is in place, you will need to stick to it to keep your costs low.
