First leg of the route: Budapest, Hungary
We will start our journey from Moscow, and the first city on our trip will be Budapest. One of the key European low-cost airlines, Wizz Air, flies from the capital of Russia to the capital of Hungary, which often offers excellent ticket prices for this route. For example, at the end of July you can fly to Budapest for only 30 euros! And if you are the owner of the airline's club card, then you will need to pay even less for the flight - only 20 euros. Pay attention to the very convenient departure time: usually the Moscow-Budapest flight at 11 a.m. is much more expensive, but this time is a pleasant exception.
Note: How to get from Budapest airport to the city center.
Second leg of the route: Rome, Italy
From Budapest you can fly almost anywhere, many fly to this city low cost airlines, therefore, the choice of destinations at reasonable prices is very large. We will do the following: we will spend 4 days and 3 nights in beautiful Budapest (be sure to visit free museums in Budapest) and fly to the Eternal City of Rome! Departure on the evening of July 31 for only 25 euros. This time we will fly aboard Ryanair.
Third leg of the route: Milan and Bergamo, Italy
We will stay in Rome for 2 nights, after which we will take a night bus to Milan for only 1 €! We save both time and money. The ticket can be bought at www.eurolines.it.
We propose to spend 4 days in Milan - this time is just enough to see the city. Another day should be devoted to the small but very beautiful town of Bergamo, located just an hour's drive from Milan. You can get to Bergamo by suburban train for 5 €. Bergamo Airport is considered one of the airports in Milan, and from here, again, you can easily and cheaply fly to anywhere in Europe on low-cost airlines. Of all the possible options, this time we will choose Paris, a ticket to which will cost 23 euros (departure on the evening of August 6 by Ryanair).
Fourth leg of the itinerary: Paris, France

Accommodation... Of course, we did not budget for accommodation, meals, etc., it was only about tickets. You can save on accommodation by using couchsurfing. For those who prefer to live not as guests on vacation, but to book their own accommodation, we advise you to pay special attention to the Airbnb.ru service - for any European city there you can find thousands of options for interesting and even unique housing for rent (from rooms and apartments to houses , residential boats and even castles). This approach to living can be a great experience for your trip!
