Planning your next holiday based on how far your money’s going to stretch when you get there? We don’t blame you! £15 doesn’t sound like a lot, but spending a bit of money here and there soon adds up.
Whether it’s a round of drinks or an on-the-go lunch, whatever £15 looks like to you, the further it can go the better, right? And saving cash on the little things means you’ve got more of it to spend on the big things. Think full-day trips, entry to those top attractions and splashing out on a gourmet evening meal – perfect!
Ready to see how far that £15 can go? Let’s get spending…
Valletta, Malta
In Malta’s magical capital, Valletta, your £15 pocket money could get you three pints of local beer and two regular cappuccinos. The centre offers competitive prices, but if you’re running to a tighter budget, check out bars and cafés on the outskirts.
Rome, Italy
The Eternal City of Rome is guaranteed to leave a lasting impression on you, but hopefully not as much on your wallet. Here, your £15 budget will cover one entry ticket to Sistine Chapel or a giant bowl of the local speciality – Roman carbonara.
Split, Croatia
Split, on Croatia’s south coast, is a terracotta-topped beauty where you definitely get your money's worth. With the £15, you can grab two soft drinks in a café and a meal for two from a street food vendor, so the sightseeing doesn’t have to be put on hold as you dine!
Budapest, Hungary
You’ll need Hungarian Forint if you’re heading to buzzing Budapest. Feeling Hungary? Well you’re in luck, as your cash will stretch to two warming bowls of goulash soup, two pints of the local Dreher beer and just to sweeten the deal, you could pick up two sugar-coated chimney cakes too! How’s that for great value?
Budva, Montenegro
This serene spot on Montenegro’s south coast has a lot to shout about when it comes to history and charm. In the midst of the stunning Old Town, £15 will get you a loaf of homemade bread, two one-way bus tickets, two pints of local beer and two bowls of the local dish, black risotto – wow! And with free entry to most of the top sights and attractions, you’ll be quids in!
