6 Cities You Can Visit On A Student Budget This Summer

Make the most of your summer with these budget breaks.

Whether you’ve just spent the past few months with your head in revision books or face down in bed recovering from hangovers, we’re all in need of a break away this summer. 

While the student budget might not stretch to a two-week all-inclusive stay on a tropical island, there are plenty of stunning cities across Europe that are cheap and cheerful but still packed full of culture. 

With our easyJet student discount, you’ll be able to knock £25 off when you book an easyJet City Break. Think of all the extra flight snacks you can buy with that!

There’s nothing quite like stepping off the plane and immersing yourself into a whole new world. Some might even say it’s educational. Brush up on your language skills, take out some euros, and head to your nearest airport. 

Go on, make the most of your summer before heading back to uni. Or if you’ve graduated, make the most of freedom before a life full of employment and taxes. Don’t say we didn’t warn you.

Here are the best cities to visit on a student budget with our easyJet Holidays city break offer.

Rome

Who wouldn’t want a quick summer getaway to the capital of Italy? From endless pizza, pasta, ice cream and wine Rome is definitely a foodie holiday if you want to enjoy a few nice dinners with a view.
