Europe is not always the cheapest place to travel around. Transportation costs can take cost alot off money on any budget, especially if you are traveling long distances.
The increasing value of the Euro has made traveling across Europe even more expensive for overseas visitors.. Just hopping on a train can be more expensive than hopping on a flight
But, despite the expensive Euro, high transportation costs, and the general expensiveness of Europe, I still found a few ways to travel around Europe cheaply: -

Megabus in England

megabus

Megabus is a cheap way to get across the United Kingdom, as fares can cost as little as one pound. You’ll need to book at least a month in advance on popular routes to get the one-pound fare, though. It’s simply the best deal around. Travel in the UK is ridiculously expensive, and even if you change your plans, you are only losing a pound. This should be your first option for UK travel
to book go to megabus.com

Busabout in Europe

busabout

Busabout is a hop on/hop off service similar to the Oz or Kiwi Experience in Australia and New Zealand. You can get on and off whenever you like, and, once you buy the ticket, you don’t have to worry about transportation the whole way. There is also an onboard guide that can help you with accommodation. They will help plan events and tours for you, too. Busabout is not the cheapest option on the list, but for those looking for something different, it is a good way to get around hassle-free while still knowing you’ll be around other backpackers. .

RyanAir

ryanair is By far the cheapest option for traveling Europe, these airlines are used by millions of travelers that they excess capacity and competition helps keep fares cheap. You can often find tickets where the fare is just the taxes. EasyJet, and RyanAir offer flights throughout the continent for dirt cheap. It cost me 20 pounds to fly from London to Amsterdam, 25 Euros to fly from Paris to Germany,so Book early, and you’ll scoop up great deals.
