Pack your bags, get on the plane and escape the daily grind. The best way to do that is with great travel bargains. We have the best tips for a cheap vacation and tell you where to go in which month.

November already? The year flies by. At the latest, the cool and foggy weather makes us all want to go on vacation again.

But where to go and when? How can you go on vacation at a reasonable price? We tell you the best destinations from January to December.

Travel bargains: Here's what you really need to watch out for

As with all things in life, the same is true here: Compare pays off. Once you have a destination in mind, you can compare the offers. One or the other travel bargain will then turn out to be expensive fun.

Don't book the first offer that comes along. Take your time - that's how you find the best offers. First you have to decide between a relaxing vacation, a city trip and an action trip.

To Turkey in July? Sounds good, but is certainly expensive. If you are outside the Peak travel times you save a lot of money and have more rest. Avoid school vacations and typical summer destinations.

Are you the All-Inclusive-the type who wants to be at the buffet at exactly 6 p.m. or the one who wants to be flexible? All inclusive is usually cheaper - but you can really experience something in local restaurants. Here, too, there are usually inexpensive places. I usually use Trip-Advisor to find out where to go.

Excursions can you book the same with the hotel? Sounds good or? Attention! This is also very easy to do on site. And you often save a lot of money. Mostly the rental car is the better alternative than the packed bus. You can take the same route, but you are more flexible.

The Rental car By the way, you should already book from home, this is usually cheaper and also less complicated.

When booking: Either very early or at very short notice. This is the cheapest way to get away.

Travel bargains in January

January has a reputation as the most favorable month for travel. Christmas and New Year's Eve holidays are over and everyone rushed into the new year. Fancy some snow and skiing? Then Austria and France offer themselves. If you have more money available, you can also travel to Switzerland.

Is that too cold for you? Then it's off to the next plane. The Dominican Republic, Mauritius, Mexico and Thailand tempt you with warm temperatures.

February travel bargains

When it is terribly cold in our country, often snowing and the roads are icy, it is the perfect time for a trip.

If you want to swap cold temperatures for palm trees and beaches, then Asia, Cape Verde or Mexico are just the right places. Cheap vacation can be made on the islands of Koh Phangan or Koh Samui. Here you will find white beaches, exotic food, relaxing massages and beautiful water.

Attention: Don't forget a thick winter jacket, when you arrive back home it's still frosty.

March travel bargains

Finally, it is also getting a little warmer here. Spring is showing its first signs of approaching. From now on you don't have to travel to the other end of the world. How about a 4-day trip to Portugal or Spain?

Even in Greece up to 16 degrees plus are waiting for you. It is still too cold for swimming, but you can store, eat well and enjoy the warm temperatures.

And even quite cheap. There are hardly any tourists to be seen yet.

By the way, the Canary Islands have a pleasant climate all year round. Water temperatures around 22 degrees and air temperatures of 24 degrees are waiting for you. Other travel tips for March: Fuerteventura, Tenerife, Gran Canaria and Lanzarote.

April travel bargains

So now the hibernation is as good as over. The April weather is usually a little annoying, but the temperatures are already pleasantly warm. Flowers are blooming, bees are buzzing and restaurants and bars are opening again. Perfect travel weather to discover Europe. Whether Rome, Copenhagen or Amsterdam - culture is waiting to be discovered by you.

You like flowers? In Amsterdam, the tulip blossom begins.

If you want to go further away, Sicily or Crete are also great and inexpensive destinations. In Thailand, Cuba or the Dominican Republic you will be welcomed with up to 30 degrees. Don't forget sunscreen!

If you just want to switch off, wellness vacations in Germany or Austria are recommended now. The winter season is over and prices have fallen very sharply.

May travel bargains

For most, May is the most beautiful time of year to travel. All the flowers are in bloom and it is pleasantly warm, but not too hot. If you love walking and hiking, you should put Madeira on your itinerary. The island is also known as the flower island and is in full bloom in May.

If you like to spend your vacations in the city, Lisbon, Prague, London or even Stockholm are the right places for you.

The children still have school. That means no peak travel season. Ideal to save money. By the way, there are a lot of holidays and window days in May. Perfect for a short trip.

Travel bargains in June

Well finally is also with us as good as summer. Those who like it warm, now no longer have to go far away, but can enjoy the vacation in Germany, Switzerland or Austria.

The journey by car is cheap. Just right for a short trip. Some are drawn to the Baltic Sea and the North Sea.

Travel bargains in July

Are you looking for action and fun? Then you are now on Ibiza and Mallorca right. Especially at the beginning of the month there are many opportunities on the islands to make a cheap vacation. Mallorca does not have to be Ballermann. There are also really beautiful and quiet beaches.

Those who are looking for a long-distance trip will find what they are looking for in Kenya, Tanzania or even Thailand.

August travel bargains

You are not a summer type and start groaning at 22 degrees? Then let's go to Iceland! Here it is cool all year round. In "summer" the temperatures climb to 13 degrees. Nature lovers should pack a jacket and check out the many natural wonders. Volcanoes, whales and landscape are beautiful.

The problem: Unfortunately, it is always cold in Iceland. That's why all Iceland fans travel in August. This means: many people and quite high prices.

It's cheaper in Asia. Thailand in particular is tempting with low prices. The catch: It's the rainy season here. Don't forget your umbrella, boots and jacket. Then you can save a lot of money here.

September travel bargains

Next to May, September is the ideal month for traveling. It is no longer so hot and school has started again. While in August there were a lot of tourists in the cities, now it's quiet again. Spain, Italy, Portugal, Greece - now is the perfect time to extend the summer once again.

But also wellness vacations you can book now quite cheap. Because the main season is just around the corner.

October travel bargains

It is getting cooler and in the morning it is often already foggy. If you are not a fan of summer heat, now is the right time to travel. You can go on city trips and soak up the sun in Greece, southern Spain and Italy.

If that's not enough for you, you should pack your bags for Morocco or Tunisia. Sunshine guaranteed.

Pleasant travel temperatures can also be found in India or Peru.

November travel bargains

Thailand is calling in November. Leave frost and cold behind and exchange them for sun. Thailand is ideal now because there are hardly any rainy days. If you are looking for a surfing or diving vacation, you should pack your bags for Cape Verde.

But also the Caribbean, Mexico and Egypt attract with warm temperatures and relatively few tourists.

December travel bargains

If you don't mind the cold and the dark, you can go on a cheap vacation in Europe now. I myself was in Dublin in the second week of December. It's cold and windy, but very cheap :)

Europe's cities are now beautifully decorated for Christmas and usually attract with low prices. If you pack a thick jacket and have no problem with cool temperatures, you can save a lot in Europe now.

It's really warm in the Caribbean now. This is also the reason why more and more people celebrate Christmas under palm trees.

Conclusion:

You can always travel cheaply if you compare offers. But if you avoid the main travel times, you will come back from your vacation much more relaxed and have saved a lot of money at the same time. Maybe right away for the next trip? :)
