Many people get obsessed with trying to find the cheapest hotels when they visit Europe, but when they focus on hotels they are completely missing the even better deals at Europe hostels. These places used to be called youth hostels and they were started in Germany about 100 years ago so that poor students could travel around the country without spending a fortune. They would have a curfew at night, and be locked out during the day so they were forced to see the sights, but even worse they would often have chores to do as well.

The good news is that none of those things are true anymore, and you can save money at hostels all over Europe at any age and without having to worry about being assigned chores. Many people only think of hostels as places filled with dorm beds, and most places are based on that, but these days nearly every hostel also has private rooms for 1, 2, or 3 people as well. Sometimes these rooms have private bathrooms, and other times you are required to use the bathroom down the hall, but in either case they are almost always cheaper than nearby hotels, so this is one of your best money saving tricks of all for Europe.
