Ways to save
- Stay in a hostel or guesthouse: A bed in a dormitory can be found for as little as €15-€25/night, saving €30-€50 compared to a budget hotel (typically €50-€80/night).
- Eat at local tapas bars and mercados: Enjoy a drink and a tapa for €2-€4 each, versus €15-€25 for a full meal at a sit-down restaurant. Visit Mercado Central for fresh produce and cheap eats.
- Walk everywhere: Cadiz is a very walkable city; avoid spending on local buses or taxis, saving €1.20-€5 per ride. Most attractions are within 20 minutes on foot.
- Visit free attractions: Explore La Caleta Beach, walk along the promenade, and visit the many beautiful plazas (e.g., Plaza de España, Plaza de las Flores) for free. Entry to Cadiz Cathedral tower is €6 but the cathedral itself is free.
- Consider visiting in the off-season (November-March): Accommodation prices can drop by 20-40% compared to peak summer months, saving €10-€30 per night on a budget hotel.
- Buy groceries from local supermarkets: Prepare some of your own meals (especially breakfast and lunch) to save significantly. A basic breakfast can cost €3-€5 for ingredients vs. €8-€15 at a cafe.
