Romantic getaways always cost money, but they don't have to break the bank. A little planning and clever creativity can save you hundreds of dollars on your next romantic getaway. Not every romantic getaway requires fine dining or high-priced entertainment every night. Most of us know that many of the most memorable moments in life come without a high price tag. Usually, it's the creativity, the ingenuity, and the company that make getaways great. There are easy ways to save and go cheap on your next romantic getaway.
Be Your Lover's Guide
Buy a Guidebook of a nearby city or town and create your own walking tour. Do a little research and play tourist for your partner in a new town or find little known places right where you live to explore.
Tap the Local Scene.
Get local papers or go online to find free festivals and events in any city or town. There's opportunities to hear music, see art, or even sample cuisine all for little or nothing out of pocket!
Less Can Mean Amore!
Rather than spending the day doing many things, find one spot, like a quiet cafe or secluded park and spend the day sipping lattes, or reading to eachother on a blanket by a garden. Rediscover eachother by spending real quality time together
Support the Arts!
Indie bands, artists, and comedians often perform or display their work at inexpensive venues. A small cover charge can introduce you to great sights, sounds, and even laughter. Don't forget to visit Local museums and galleries. Galleries are always free and many museums offer low cost or even free admission.
Snap Up Romantic Memories.
Take your cameras and head out anywhere! Take fun and memorable photos of eachother at interesting places and in unique lighting. Digital cameras mean there's no cost for film and no end to the fun! Then find a quiet spot to review and laugh at all your pics.
Must Dine Out?
There are ways to save even if you have to eat out. Restaurants serving Eastern fare, such as Indian, Chinese, Thai, etc, are usually much less expensive than their Western counterparts. Local sandwich shops, delis, and cafes can offer simple but delicious meals. And if you find yourself looking at a pricey menu, turn to the appetizer section and choose a lower cost alternative to a main course.
