The UK isn't known as a bargain destination, but that doesn't mean you can't visit on a budget. From north to south, UK cities deliver well on all fronts for the shoestring traveller - you just have to know where to look!

Most-visited cities like London, Oxford and Brighton in the south, Manchester up north and Welsh and Scottish capitals Cardiff and Edinburgh all offer money-saving attractions, from free galleries and museums to inexpensive place to eat. Importantly also, each has a selection of cheap hotels and hostels to stay in - leaving you with more spare cash for trips out.
