Cheap student trips: share everything, pay three times less
A small budget doesn’t mean staying home. By sharing a whole flat between several of you, the cost per person often drops below the price of a hostel bed — with a kitchen and a real place of your own as a bonus.
Why it works out cheaper
A flat for 5 in a European capital is often €25–35 per person per night — less than a hostel bed, and you cook to save even more.
The stay that fits you
Whole flat shared between you, private hostel dorm, quirky stay at a knock-down price split between the group.
