Has the travel bug bitten you, but you are on a tight budget? Over the past few years, there has been a steady increase in the prices of commodities, food, and services worldwide.

MY TOP 15 CHEAPEST COUNTRIES TO VISIT WORLDWIDE

Of the almost eighty countries I have visited, these are my top 15 cheapest countries to visit worldwide (in these specific cities) thus far. What made them the most budget-friendly? They had the cheapest food, accommodation, transport, internet, and bargain shopping.

A visit to any of these countries, especially during the off-peak season, will cost a solo traveller an average of US$60.00 (or less) daily, including accommodation. However, if you are a backpacker and prefer to stay at a hostel, you can pay as little as US$7.00 per night in some countries. Additionally, those who indulge in fast-food or street food can save even more. If you need more money-saving tips, see how to plan a vacation with small money. Some of these countries might be underrated, but they were beautiful, enjoyable, and safe.

PLEASE KEEP IN MIND THAT THE OFF-SEASON IS ALWAYS THE BEST TIME TO BUDGET TRAVEL BECAUSE FLIGHTS AND ACCOMMODATION ARE ALWAYS THE CHEAPEST.

So here are my 15 Cheapest Countries to visit Worldwide.

1. Kosovo

The Republic of Kosovo is a Balkan country in Southeastern Europe and its capital is Pristina. Kosovo is a low-keyed, off-the-beaten-track country and a golden find for adventurous and budget travellers. It is one of, if not the poorest, and cheapest European country I have visited. The city of Pristina is not only inexpensive but has a smaller tourist crowd. The accommodation, food/restaurant, and transportation were all simply CHEAP.

The average daily total expenditure is US$25.00 – US$35.00 (less than US$20.00 if you stay at a hostel).

The Fortress in Prizren (another city).

2. Moldova

The Republic of Moldova is a country in Eastern Europe, and its capital is Chisinau. Many people are unfamiliar with it because it is one of the more low-key European countries and one of the poorest. If you are like me and prefer to visit the less popular, budget-friendly cities, then Chisinau should be your next vacation spot. It is budget-friendly and less touristy. In Chisinau, the accommodation, food, and transportation were all reasonably priced. The average daily total expenditure is US$30.00 – US$40.00 (less than US$25.00 if you stay at a hostel).

As a result, budget travellers can enjoy it economically. In Skopje, the accommodation, food, and transportation were all reasonably priced. Additionally, the shopping and souvenir prices were excellent, especially for antique gifts. The average daily total expenditure is US$30.00 – US$40.00 (less than US$28.00 if you stay at a hostel).

4. Albania

Albania is a Balkan country in Southern Europe, and its capital is Tirana. It is another off-the-beaten-track country because it is not a bucketlist destination for most travellers. Albania is also one of the top 10 poorest countries in Europe. It was not only budget-friendly but also less touristy. In Tirana, the accommodation, food, and transportation were all cheap. Because it was so economical, it offered the traveller the option of guilt-free bargain shopping. The average daily total expenditure is US$30.00 – US$40.00 (less than US$30.00 if you stay at a hostel).

For more detailed information about my visit to Tirana, Albania, Click here.

The Republic of Turkey is unique geographically because it lies partially in the Middle East, Europe, and even the west of Asia. Its capital is Ankara, but my vacation was in Istanbul. Istanbul is a paradise for mosque enthusiasts and shoppers. Sultanahmet Square is the most popular and extravagant, with many exotic and iconic mosques. For the budget traveller, you will be happy to know that accommodation, meals, and transportation in Istanbul are very economical, even though Istanbul is not the cheapest city in Turkey. Istanbul is also a shopping hub, and items are inexpensive but of excellent quality. The average daily total expenditure is US$35.00 – US$45.00 (less than US$30.00 if you stay at a hostel).

Bosnia, its informal name, is a former Yugoslavian country that survived a civil war and was the former host of the 1984 Winter Olympics. Sarajevo is a budget-friendly city, perfect for all budget travellers. It is a guarantee that you will find accommodation, food/restaurants, and transportation all reasonably priced. I will recommend Bosnia to those wanting to visit Europe on a low budget. The average daily total expenditure is US$35.00 – US$45.00 (less than US$35.00 if you stay at a hostel).

7. Serbia

The Republic of Serbia is a country in Southeastern Europe, in the Balkan peninsula. However, my visit was not to the capital Belgrade, but to Nis (the third largest city in Serbia) and Pirot, the smaller and quieter of the two. They are green and mountainous cities, with Nis being the most modern. Serbia is generally budget-friendly, especially Belgrade city. Nonetheless, Nis was also fairly inexpensive. The accommodation, food/restaurants, and transportation were all reasonably priced. It was a safe visit to one of the underrated cities, and I recommend it to the adventurous.

8. Vietnam

Vietnam is in Southeast Asia, and its capital and second-largest city is Hanoi. Do not be misled, Vietnam is a popular tourist destination. I can say this because of the various nationalities, especially American travellers, I met during my previous trip. For clarification, Vietnam does not look war-ravaged, as some might think. Moreover, Ho Chi Minh (Saigon), the largest city in Vietnam, is equally beautiful, economical, developed, and culturally rich as Hanoi.

If you are a foodie, Vietnam is the place for you, with various dishes, teas, and coffee at reasonable prices. The accommodation, meals, and transportation were inexpensive. Most of the accommodations are at bargain prices, and include breakfast. (I recommend Hanoi Marvellous Hotel & Spa, low-price but service of a 5-star hotel). Vietnam is a unique and budget-friendly country. The average daily total expenditure is US$40.00 – US$45.00). If you prefer to stay at a hostel and love street foods, an average budget of US$25.00 or less a day will be sufficient in Vietnam.

The Philippines is in Southeast Asia, and its capital is Manila. If you crave a budget-friendly vacation in Asia, The Philippines is the country to visit. In Manila, everything is cheap.
