4. Adapt to Local tastes:
Cultural chameleons drink tea in England & India, beer in Prague, red wine in France, and Tequila in Mexico. They eat meat in South America, fish in Scandinavia and spicey in Asia. Going with the local specialties gets you the best quality and service for the best price.
5. Consider driving as a group:
Four people sharing a car travel cheaper than four individuals buying four railpasses. Even at $6 a gallon, cars get great mileage and distances between sights are short. A single two-hour train ticket can cost you the price of a full tank of gas.
6. Pay with local cash:
While credit cards get you a good exchange rate, many places offering best deals — from craft shops to bed & breakfasts — accept only cash.

7. Explore no-frills flights:
Europe's and also Asia’s highly competitive no-frills airlines (i.e. Ryanair, easyJet, Air Asia) can get you from one city to another faster and cheaper than the train . You generally book the flights yourself by phone, pda, laptop(internet) or internet café. Beware though: cheap airlines often use small airports located far from the city center, which can cost a little extra time and money for transportation.
Tip: Safe the PDF documents of topdestination.org on your PDA, memory stick or laptop. The only thing you need to do is going online, open the document and click the links in the PDF documents for the best and cheapest flights. Safes time and money…
8. Go business:
During summer and weekends year-round, you can get a fancy business hotel room at a cheap one-star hotel price. It's not unusual to score a $300 double room for $100. Ask at each city's tourist information office.
9. Don't over-tip:
Only Americans tip 15 to 20 percent, even tipping when it is already included or not expected. Ask locals (who are customers rather than employees of a restaurant) for advice. Generally, 5 to 10 percent is typical if service is not included.
10. Buy museum passes:
Passes save time and money. The Paris Museum pass, for example, pays for itself in four visits and saves you hours by letting you skip long lines. With a pass you can also pop painlessly into sights that might otherwise not be worth the expense.
