Ca depend de votre budget. Pour les billets d'avions il faut reserver assez à l'avance pour avoir un bon prix.
Ensuite pour le logement cela depend de ce que vous recherchez, les auberges de jeunesses sont d'un rapport qualité prix. Ensuite il faut voir si vous souhaitez bouger beaucoup, faire plusieurs villes ??
Pas de problème avec les billets d'avion, je ne connais pas le fonctionnement des auberges de jeunesses acceptent-ils des gens de 68 ans? il est certain que la formule condo où maison résidentielle sera retenu si les frais encourues sont abordable
Nous allons privilégier la visite de l.Espagne mais aussi nous sommes des amateurs de golf
Je vous déconseille les auberges de jeunesse, elle sont géniales mais c'est plus une esprit "jeune" donc bruit et autres réjouissances que vous risquez de ne pas trop apprécier. De plus, le confort est basique et il se peut que vous ne trouviez que des auberges avec lits superposés. Je n'ai pas vraiment d'adresses pouvant vous correspondre à vous proposer car j'ai vécu en Espagne pls mois mais chez l'habitant ou en auberges, j'avais 23 ans.
En revanche, je vous conseille de privilégier les voyages en bus. 1° c'est très pratique 2° c'est le moyen le plus rapide (n'essayez même pas le train) 2° c'est économique 3° ce n'est pas si fatiguant car les distances sont relativement courtes d'une ville à l'autre (faites des étapes) 4° les bus desservent toutes les destinations.
Si vous allez dans le sud ne passez pas à côté de Séville, le centre historique et la plaza de Espana avec son parc et l'université ; Cordoue et sa mosquée ; Grenade et l'alambra (pensez à réserver).
Madrid est sympa mais seulement si vous voulez faire les musées : el prado et el museo de la reina sofia, sinon la ville manque de charme (selon moi), même si c'est à 2h de la capitale, il ne faut pas rater Salamanque ! Autres endroits sympas : Ségovie, l'acazar et l'aqueduc ou encore Tolède.
Si les plages vous intéressent je vous conseille la costa dorada, à côté de Barcelone. En parlant de Barcelone faites une escapade sur le thème de gaudi : le parc guel, la sagrada familia, les maisons si particulières et descendez le long des ramblas jusqu'au port.
Pour d'autres infos n'hésitez pas à me contacter. Je suis navrée de ne pas pouvoir vous donner davantage de conseils sur les hébergements mais globalement l'Espagne est assez bon marché. Je pense que pour avoir de l'aide sur ce site vous devez être plus précis et nous donner une estimation de ce que vous appeler "petits prix", quelle est votre fourchette de prix par nuit et par chambre ? et quelles étapes vous intéresse particulièrement ?
Je peux en revanche vous donner qqles pistes : par exemple à Grenade, choisissez un hôtel dans le centre, tandis qu'il vaut mieux l'éviter à Salamanque. N'oubliez pas que les espagnols sont très bruyants et que si l'hotel se trouve au dans une rue passante ou au dessus d'un bar vous ne dormirez pas de la nuit malgré les doubles vitrages.
Bonjour. Moi et mon mari (50 ans) partons pour l'Andalousie durant 2
semaines le 21 avril. Nous ne voulions pas d'une formule tout inclus.
Nous voulons faire Séville, Cordoue, Grenade, Ronda et possiblement
Malaga et Gibraltor. Nous prendrons le bus. Dans les villes principales
y a-t-il de petits hôtels à environ 25-30 euros par jour. Comment
peut-on les trouver? J'attends tes conseils. C'est notre premier
voyage sans réservation. Merci de me répondre. 🙂
Et bien, mon mari et moi, mi-cinquantaine, irons en Andalousie vers le début avril.
J'aimerais partager avec vous les renseignements trouvés. Ce sera la 1ère fois pour nous dans ce coin d'Espagne.
Merci et à bientôt,
Bonjour. Vous dîtes avoir de l'information. Vous l'avez
trouvé de quelle façon. Quant aux sites à visiter, nous
irons à l'office du tourisme. Ce qui m'embête ce sont les
hôtels. Doit-on choisir avec une cuisinette pour faire nos
repas afin que ca coûte moins cher ou les petits resto ne
sont pas dispendieux. J'attends vos indications. Merci
encore!😉
Pour de bonnes adresses je vous conseille un guide tel que le routard ou le petit futé. Vous trouverez tout ce que vous cherchez et à tous les prix. C'est le mieux si vous faites plusieurs villes. Effectivement, pour une chambre correcte avec salle de bain ce sera autour de 20-30 euros / nuit mais souvent sans le petit déjeuner. Ces guides vous permettront aussi de voir d'un seul coup d'oeil les sites touristiques majeurs ou plus discrets. Dedans il y a aussi le plan des villes, les horaires des bus, etc.
Généralement, il n'est pas utile de réserver sa chambre longtemps à l'avance, vous pouvez même arriver le jour même. Pensez peut-être juste à la première nuit pour être plus tranquille. Attention néanmoins à la féria ! les prix augmentent considérablement car les touristes arrivent tous à cette époque (vers avril, mais la date change chaque année et parfois même selon les villes).
Les restaurants sont généralement de bons rapport qualité prix, il n'est pas rare de trouver un menu type : ntrée + plat + dessert + boisson à moins de 10 euros. Mais si c'est possible et que cela n'augmente pas trop le prix de la chambre, choisissez-en une avec kitchenette car dans les supermarchés aussi, les prix ne sont pas trop élevés et vous pourrez même acheter quelques produits au marché, ils sont délicieux, authentiques et économiques. Et rien ne vous empêchera de vous faire une petite soirée tapas de temps en temps.
Si c'est un voyage de 3 mois, vous pourrez varier entre appartement avec kitchenette et simple chambre d'hôtel selon ce que vous trouverez, c'est l'avantage des longs séjours.
précision particulière : pour Malaga, il y a un très bon hotel (prix autours de 30 euros la chambre) donnant sur la rue pietonne principale, vous le trouverez dans les guides, allez-y les yeux fermés ! Pour Grenade, il y a une foule d'hôtels dans le quartier de l'Alambra, faites jouer la concurrence. Vous trouverez toutes les adresses intéressantes dans les guides. Je préfère ne pas trop vous en dire car cela à pu changer depuis mon dernier passage. Cordoue se visite très bien au départ de Séville, faites peut-être l'A/R en une journée car si vous restez plusieurs nuit au même endroit vous pouvez négocier les tarifs. Je ne peux pas vous aider pour ces deux villes, j'étais logée chez l'habitant, mais je sais qu'il y a de bonnes adresses dans les guides.
En répone à votre demande d'info, je commence à peine mes recherches, donc pas encore beaucoup à partager. Je commence une semi-retraite le 9 janvier, j'aurai davantage de temps.
bonjour
pour ma location en Espagne, je suis passée par le site Niumba (en Espagnol) et j'ai pu trouver un studio au centre de Salamanque pour 135 € la semaine (plus on reste longtemps moins c'est cher) .Pour voyager de ville en ville, le bus c'est très pratique. Les "pension" sont des petits hôtels pas chers, 20 à 25 € la nuit et il y en a de très sympas. On peut manger au restaurant pour moins de 10 € et pour moins cher si on se donne la peine de chercher.Si vous préferez la location, il y a aussi le site Loquo et les Casa Rural (toujours en Espagnol). Les espagnols louent aussi des chambres chez l'habitant pour 12 à 15 € la nuit, je l'ai vu dans les annonces mais je n'ai pas essayé.
bonne journée
Hi everyone! This is my first time in Spain, and I don t know it at all. I m heading to Barcelona for 3 days, but I don t have any specific plans yet. I ve…
Hi,
My trip to the Algarve, which was postponed, is now taking shape.
On October 13th, I’m leaving for 2 weeks. When I arrive, I’ll be staying in Lisbon for 3 nights. So, I’d love to find somewhere affordable and well-located to stay—any suggestions would be great!
After that, I’ll head to Faro, where I plan to rent a car. Would it be best to rent directly from the airport? I can’t seem to find any agencies in Faro city where I could pick up the car and drop it off at the airport at the end of my stay. Is it possible to return a car at 6 AM at the airport?
Can I get the Portuguese motorway pass in France?
Thanks so much for your help!
Jofra
Hello,
Does anyone know a good local French-speaking agency for a discovery/trekking trip in Maharashtra? For about 3 weeks, a custom trip, but not too expensive!
Thanks in advance,
Laura
Hello Voyage Forum members.
For my wife’s birthday and her 64th year, I’d love to plan a two-week road trip with her—using our own car—preferably avoiding overly touristy spots, so off the beaten path where possible. That said, we wouldn’t mind stopping at must-see places along the way. The trip would cover Emilia-Romagna and/or Tuscany if combining both regions is doable in that timeframe, with the option for some hikes during the period. We’re looking at late November 2026. I’d prioritize the most authentic accommodations, ideally with breakfast included, without exceeding 100 € per night if that’s possible. So, stays like private rooms in hostels or homestays would be perfect.
Based on these details, I’d really appreciate any recent tips or insights from Voyage Forum members to help me plan this surprise anniversary trip.
Hi,
I’m looking for recent opinions on where to stay: Ella or Haputale.
Doesn’t Haputale also have the added advantage of the train?
Thanks for your input!
Hi there, we’re planning a road trip in northern Algeria at the end of January – early February.
Anyone have any tips for a car rental agency that’s both reliable and not too expensive? Thanks in advance!
Hello,
I’d like to travel from Lille in the North of France to Italy safely and on a budget.
Preferably by bus.
If you have other ideas, I’m all ears!
I’m interested in any suggestions.
How can I get to Italy?
Which city is the cheapest?
The most visited?
Is it safe, please?
Thanks for your replies.
Best regards,
Hi everyone,
I’m planning to spend 8 days or more in Georgia, and I love multi-day hikes at a moderate level.
Any tips?
Is it easy to exchange money in Tbilisi?
Is Kutaisi worth a visit?
I’ve heard the Black Sea is meh.
And apparently, the food and drink are amazing everywhere in Georgia.
So, is it worth checking out a wine region?
Thanks a lot!
Good evening,
As two senior French couples who are used to traveling independently all over the world, we’d like to visit Kenya next November.
Now, after seeing and reading a bit everywhere, and with the first quotes for a 6/7-day safari, I’m shocked by the prices (like $2,250) for places like Maasai Mara, where entry alone costs $200 per person per day, plus fees for the driver and vehicle.
So if you have any recent great tips or contacts to share to help me out, I’d really appreciate it—because despite the costs, we’d still love to go, while keeping things reasonable.
The most plausible solution is probably renting a vehicle with a driver-guide.
Thanks in advance for all your replies.

After more than ten solo trips to India, I’ve decided to explore a new country: South Korea.
In October, I’ll be flying Lyon-Delhi, then in November Delhi-Seoul. I’ll be staying in this new (for me) country for over a month.
My main motivation when traveling is discovering a country through the people (locals) I meet. In India, I made friends through Couchsurfing that way.
I’m currently getting in touch with host families (via Servas), but if you have any ideas for authentic and budget-friendly accommodations, I’d love to hear them.
I’ll plan my route based on my hosts, and I’m also thinking of spending a few days in Seoul and Jeju.
Hi there,
I’m heading to the Greek island of Ikaria for two months and I’m looking for any tips or advice—especially on budget-friendly accommodation options like a room to rent or staying with locals. Thanks!
Hi everyone, I'm traveling solo in Spain for 8 days without a car, on a tight budget. What train/bus route do you recommend between cities, and where can I find the best prices? Looking forward to your tips! Thanks
Hello! 👋
I’m new to this site and feeling a little desperate. 😢 My boyfriend’s birthday is in 4 days, and I wanted to surprise him with a New Year’s trip to London... except I just found out he’s already been there as a kid. Well, there goes my surprise! 😅
Since we both love Christmas and winter, I’m looking for a destination where we can really feel the holiday magic—with a budget of around 500 € for transport + accommodation for two (yes, I know, I might be asking for a Christmas miracle here 😇).
We’ve already been to Bucharest, Prague, Vienna, and Budapest, so I’d love to find something a little more offbeat, not too expensive, and with a beautiful Christmas atmosphere.
Please help me! 🙏 On social media, it’s always the same ultra-touristy cities... I’m sure there are hidden gems I haven’t discovered yet!
Three years after exploring northern Argentina and Chile, my two travel buddies and I want to discover the southern part of these two countries.
We’re traveling on a budget, backpacker-style, favoring public transport and modest accommodations, but we don’t hesitate to splurge a little when it’s worth it.
The classic spots that have been fueling our dreams: Bariloche, the lakes, Chiloé, El Chaltén, Torres del Paine, Perito Moreno, El Calafate, Fitz Roy, Ushuaia and Tierra del Fuego, and wrapping up in Valparaíso.
We’ll take a round-trip flight to Santiago, then I’m thinking of a one-way flight from Santiago to Punta Arenas. From there, we’ll explore and do several day hikes in the south, including Ushuaia and, if possible, Tierra del Fuego.
Then we’ll head back north by bus to Bariloche and the lakes, followed by Chiloé, then a bus to Santiago and Valparaíso.
Based on your experience, could you help me figure out the best way to structure this trip and maybe suggest some ideas?
Thanks in advance.
Didier
I’m heading to Quebec and New Brunswick this summer and got a Revolut Classic card for the trip. I’ve already exchanged some Canadian dollars in the app so I’ll have a reserve ready for my departure day. My question is whether I’ll incur any additional fees when using my Canadian dollar account. I think I’m limited to 200 € in ATM withdrawals for my part. Thanks!
Hi there,
I'm heading to Morocco for 10 days as a backpacker, with my car and a tent canvas if needed. Does anyone have great experiences in this country around the Tétouan and Tangier areas?
I'd love to spend time with locals, rent a small room, and take part in daily life.
If you've got any addresses to share, that'd be awesome!
Thanks a million for your replies!!!😉
Christine
My boyfriend and I are going there for just 9 days, including the two travel days… It’s not much, but oh well!
Looking at prices online, I get the impression everything’s more expensive than I thought 😅 So, I wanted to get your feedback on a few things:
* Is hitchhiking common, easy, and generally safe in Albania?
* Is it possible to find day-to-day accommodations without booking ahead? If so, are they usually cheaper than the ones you find online?
* Is wild camping allowed or at least tolerated?
If any of you have traveled there recently, I’d love all the tips and great deals you’ve got!
Hi,
We’re a young couple planning to travel to South Africa after spending about three weeks in Namibia. We’ll arrive in Cape Town around mid-December, with no fixed travel duration (though our budget will eventually set a limit).
After browsing through the forum, we’ve realized the country is packed with incredible spots, which makes choosing an itinerary tough. We’re looking for stunning landscapes, hikes, and so on. So, we’d love to hear your thoughts and experiences.
When we arrive in Cape Town, we’d like to settle in and take it easy until New Year’s, exploring at a relaxed pace. We know this period coincides with South African holidays—does that make finding accommodations (availability/prices) more difficult? Do you think it’s possible to stay in a nice place for about 15 days without aiming for the most upscale neighborhoods? Maybe somewhere a bit outside Cape Town, like Fish Hoek, and just visit the city occasionally.
After that, we’ll have plenty of time (about 2 to 2.5 months) to explore the country. We’d like to take our time. In your opinion, is it better to focus on the Cape Town region, or is it reasonable to consider more distant areas like the Drakensberg or Blyde River Canyon? Can everything be done by car if we take our time, or are domestic flights sometimes more practical?
Budget-wise, how much do car rentals cost? For accommodations, we usually look at Airbnb—are they affordable in South Africa? What’s the average nightly rate outside the biggest cities? Are there other platforms you’d recommend for saving on lodging?
Finally, regarding safety, are there any regions to avoid besides Johannesburg?
We know this is a lot of questions, but we’re still in the early planning stages!
Thanks in advance for your advice!
Hi there,
After exploring southern Peru in 2024 with your help, we’d love to head north next. There’ll be 5 or 6 of us:
1. Arrive in Lima in the evening.
2. Visit Lima and take a flight at 6:35 PM to Tarapoto.
3, 4, 5. Spend a few days there to trek in a reserve (Pacaya-Samiria National Reserve) or somewhere else.
6. From Tarapoto to Chachapoyas—either by overnight bus, daytime bus, or private car.
7. In Chachapoyas: Gocta Waterfall, Sonche Canyon, and walk back to town.
8. Head to Kuelap citadel, Revash, and arrive in Leymebamba.
9. Leymebamba museum, then route to Cajamarca.
10. Cajamarca hot springs, overnight bus to Trujillo or Chiclayo—or do both.
11, 12, 13. Visit and explore the area.
14. Overnight bus back to Lima.
15. Lima.
16. Depart at 8 PM for France.
What do you think of this itinerary? Looking forward to your advice.
Thanks
I’m planning a 7-day trip to Marrakech for a sports camp, and I’ll be traveling with just a standard carry-on backpack.
I’d love to hear your best tips and tricks:
• What clothes are absolutely essential?
• Any advice for managing the heat while traveling light?
• Which accessories have been the most useful for you?
• Mistakes to avoid on a first trip to Marrakech?
I’m also open to your recommendations for neighborhoods, restaurants, or activities not to miss during my free time.
Thanks in advance for your advice and experience! !
Hi there, we’re heading to the Cyclades from June 23 to July 9. We’ll arrive in Santorini and leave from Mykonos. We’re thinking of visiting these islands: Folegandros, Milos, Sifnos, Tinos, and Mykonos. Do you think it’s better to book the ferries now (which site do you recommend for booking?) or can we buy the tickets on the spot? Also, do you have any suggestions for accommodation under 100 €/night on each of these islands? Thanks in advance!
Hi everyone!
I’m planning my dream trip for next September, lasting about a month. Here’s my itinerary:
Amsterdam: 3 days (departing from Montreal)
Tanzania: 3-day safari
Zanzibar: 6 days
Istanbul: 7 days
Return to Montreal.
Since my budget is pretty tight, I’m looking for tips and advice to cut costs without sacrificing the experience. Here are my questions:
Multi-destination flights: What’s the best way to book these connections? Is it better to buy a one-way ticket from Montreal to Amsterdam, then a separate internal flight, or use comparison tools for a multi-destination ticket?
Budget safari: Do you have recommendations for local agencies or tips to do a 3-day safari (Serengeti/Ngorongoro) at an affordable price (e.g., camping/glamping instead of luxury lodges)?
Accommodation in Zanzibar: Which villages or types of lodging are the most budget-friendly and accessible via local transport for these 6 days?
Istanbul: Any tips for well-located but cheap accommodation and great food deals?
Hi,
Are there still basic, traditional, and affordable authentic accommodations in Poland? I’ll be traveling in July with my husband and our 2 kids along the Warsaw-Łódź-Toruń-Gdańsk route, and all I can find online are standardized Ikea-style apartments in the cities. When I look for agrotourism, it’s all luxury farms.
Can you find farms in the countryside or city lodgings for under 60 euros per night? And if so, how?
Is it possible to find accommodations on the spot without internet—like from people who put up signs—even in July?
Hi,
I need to stay in Paris or Créteil for 2 nights a week for a month. I know some cheap backpacker options, but I’d like something even cheaper. Do you know of any rooms for rent from private individuals?
Thanks
We’re a young couple planning our first trip to Albania from June 23, 2026, to July 2, 2026. We have a pretty tight budget and want to make the most of this amazing country without breaking the bank.
We’re looking for all the advice you can give to help us plan our stay:
* What are the must-see places to visit?
* Which cities or villages are really worth the detour?
* What natural sites, hikes, canyons, springs, or viewpoints do you recommend?
* Do you know of any free, uncrowded, or particularly beautiful beaches?
* Where can we responsibly observe or swim with sea turtles?
* What are the most beautiful beaches on the Albanian Riviera that are accessible on a small budget?
* What budget-friendly accommodations (hotels, hostels, homestays, campgrounds) do you recommend?
* What are the best ways to get around between different regions at a low cost?
* Do you know of any reliable and affordable agencies for renting a vehicle (car, scooter, or motorcycle)? What are the average rates at the end of June, and which rental companies do you recommend or advise against?
* Is it better to rent a vehicle right when we arrive or stick to local buses and minibuses to keep costs down?
* Which restaurants or local specialties offer the best value for money?
* Are there any free or low-cost activities we shouldn’t miss?
* Which places do you think are overrated or can be skipped when you’re short on time and money?
* What practical tips would you have wished you knew before your first trip to Albania?
We’d also love any 10-day itineraries that you particularly enjoyed, along with your budget estimates for accommodation, meals, and transportation.
We’re open to off-the-beaten-path spots and local tips. If you have any secret addresses, hidden beaches, favorite accommodations, or mistakes to avoid, we’d love to hear about them! 😊
I traveled through southern Peru in November 2024 and now I’d like to explore the north.
We’re a group of 5 people for a 15-day trip.
Iquitos or Nauta for the Amazon rainforest—I saw that you have to fly there.
Chiclayo
Chachapoyas
Kuelap
Leimebamba
Cajamarca
Trujillo
And if we have time, Huaraz for the Andes cordillera.
No problem taking overnight buses—they save a lot of time.
Or renting a car and figuring it out as we go.
We’d also love to take the train from Lima to Huancayo, but it seems complicated—I don’t understand when it runs.
I’d like to drive to Morocco from Paris via Spain. I was really surprised to see the ferry crossing prices—around 500 €—but especially the crossing time (about 1 hour). Normally, I pay 3000 € to go to Tunisia from Genoa, but that’s for a 24-hour crossing.
My question: is it cheaper to buy the ticket on the spot, as some Moroccans have advised me? Though I’ve also heard the opposite.
What do you think, considering I need to get to Tétouan around July 17th and return from Tangier around August 4th?
Thanks in advance
I’m planning a 10-day trip to Slovenia in May (9–19 May) and starting to look at accommodations. Unfortunately, I’m only seeing relatively expensive options—nothing under 50 €, and usually around 100–150 €. Traveling solo, that could quickly blow my budget. And 30 € for a bed in a 10-person dorm at a youth hostel feels like a rip-off...
Are there other booking sources besides the usual Booking.com, Airbnb, and Google? Or can anyone confirm if I’ll find more reasonable rates on the ground around Bled, Bohinj, Triglav, or in mountain huts? I’ll be renting a car to optimize my travel, so I won’t be limited geographically.
Hi there,
Could you recommend some nice and affordable neighborhoods to book a hotel in for visiting Nice and exploring its surroundings and nearby villages?
I’d like to know if it’s better to book the entire stay in Nice and take day trips to the villages, or if there are villages worth spending at least one night in to really explore them properly?
Since all the villages are stunning and we have to make a choice, which ones are absolutely must-visit?
My 16-year-old daughter and I will be spending a week there at the end of April. We’ll arrive by TGV from Paris and plan to use public transport during our stay. Do you know if there’s a weekly transport pass available and how much it costs?
