Affordable Holidays Abroad in these Nations: 2025 Euro Forecast for Travel Costs

The Euro has gained significant ground against various currencies worldwide, making travel more affordable for many. Here are some destinations where your Euro will stretch further in 2025.

In Europe, Albania continues to offer a low price level, with an average hotel night costing just 61 Euros, a meal around 10 Euros, and public transport less than 50 cents. Poland, Hungary, and the Czech Republic are also cheaper than the Central European average, providing a cost-effective travel experience. Romania and Bulgaria offer favourable prices within Europe as well.

Looking beyond the continent, Sri Lanka shows favourable price levels with moderate flight costs and high experiential value. The same can be said for Vietnam, where both countries offer a favourable price level. Holidays in Turkey's classic holiday destinations like Antalya or Bodrum are cheaper due to the Turkish Lira's depreciation.

Travelers can also find budget-friendly options in countries such as Egypt, where an average accommodation costs 29 Euros, and a meal around 3.50 Euros. The Egyptian Pound has gained around 11 percent in value against the Euro, making travel there more affordable.

In South America, Argentina's Euro exchange rate has improved by a third, making travel there cheaper. One Euro is now worth around 1,290 Pesos, compared to approximately 960 last year. Mexico's local currency has depreciated by more than 20 percent against the Euro, offering an opportunity for a more affordable Mexican holiday.

Across the globe in Australia and New Zealand, the Euro's exchange rate gain is between eight and ten percent. However, the Swedish Krona has weakened by around seven percent, making travel to Sweden more expensive.

For those seeking adventure, the current budget-friendly travel destinations popular among German travelers in 2025 include domestic options like the Baltic Sea coast (Rügen, Usedom, Fehmarn) and North Sea coast (Sylt, Föhr, St. Peter-Ording) for affordable beach and nature experiences, as well as international destinations such as Laos, North Macedonia, and Vietnam, which offer low daily costs, authentic cultural experiences, and budget-friendly transportation and accommodations.

In summary, the strengthening Euro has opened up a world of affordable travel destinations. Whether you're seeking a European escape, a sun-soaked beach holiday, or an adventure in a far-off land, your Euro will go further than ever before.
