2. Plan your vacation during the off-season

Probably you’ve guessed this one because it’s definitely one of the most common tourist traps. It’s true that summer is the best season to take a trip outside your town but is this a good idea? I’d say not. Why? Mostly because the prices are skyrocketing between June and August and literally everybody is going to have the same idea as you. Instead of having a peaceful vacation, you will end up being surrounded by thousands of tourists.

The ideal strategy is to research peak travel times in the city or nation you wish to visit and make your reservations outside of those times. You are bound to discover more authenticity and spaciousness during the off-season if you are open with your trip plans.

You may choose the “cheapest month” on Skyscanner, which is typically out of season, to get a decent idea of when to travel. Additionally, you will save more money during the off-season on travel, lodging, and activities.  Do you agree that this is a situation where everyone wins? Let me know your thoughts.
