Money-Saving Tips
Eat at traditional mehanas in residential neighborhoods rather than tourist areas (typically 40-60% cheaper)
Use public buses instead of taxis for city transport (usually 70-80% savings)
Visit free attractions like Nebet Tepe hill and Old Town cobblestone streets instead of paid tours
Shop at local markets and grocery stores for breakfast and snacks (can reduce food costs by 50%)
Book accommodation outside the immediate Old Town center for 30-50% savings while staying walkable
Travel during shoulder seasons (April-May, September-October) for 20-40% lower accommodation rates
Common Budget Mistakes to Avoid
Eating exclusively in the main tourist squares and pedestrian zones (typically 100-150% markup over local areas)
Taking taxis for all transportation instead of learning the bus system (can triple transport costs)
Booking last-minute accommodation during peak summer months (often 50-100% higher rates)
