This was not a “save money travelling” article – it’s directed at the UK (Scotland, Wales, Northern Ire, England) because the UK is *really* frigging expensive.

@paystolive – true, many of these tips do sound general, but for those specifically going to the UK, they will specifically apply since the UK has some outrageous charges on things. And some places don’t – they’re just more reasonable. So perhaps it’s better phrased as the fact that the UK is most expensive, makes saving money the most important while you’re there (as opposed to in some parts of Germany, where you can eat etc. relatively quite a bit cheaper).

Oh – geez – Scotland is part of the UK, so it has the same crazy prices except for rural areas. Ireland is part of the EU, but still has some jacked up prices though I haven’t been there in almost a decade now. So, definitely don’t expect Scotland to be any cheaper – I was just there. Edinburgh prices are atrocious too.

Many of these same tips could be applied to any vacation to really save some money. I have never been to the UK, but seeing that it is so expensive, if I travel to Europe I would probably want to pass on England and maybe go to a nearby destination like Scotland or Ireland.

I am an Expat living in London and I must say you have made some great points. One thing I can add is to find out if your bank in the US has a sister bank in the UK. I know Bank of America and Barclays are sister banks, so if you take money out of the ATM at Barclays they will not charge you a fee. It saves a lot of $6 fees.
