By discovering these budget European cities, you can enjoy unique cultural, historical, and gastronomic experiences without significant financial costs. However, when planning a trip, you should take into account travel insurance, which will not only provide financial protection in case of an accident or illness abroad, but also reduce the cost of medical services, which can be much higher for foreigners. The insurance will also provide coverage in case of loss of luggage, flight delays or cancellations, which is no less important when traveling. You can take out reliable travel insurance by following this link.
We remind you! Most Ukrainians are used to spending their summer vacation at the Black Sea resorts. However, during the war, traveling to your favorite places has become much more difficult, and some of the Black Sea pearls are impossible to visit because they are still under occupation. Luckily, several other countries bordering the Black Sea are also in the region. Read where you can spend your vacation on the Black Sea coast and how to get there in our previous article.
