Cheap Romantic Getaways
Take a Romantic Couples Vacation
That is Easy on the Budget

• Plan in advance: Cheap romantic vacations are only possible if you think through every part of your getaway week or weekend. Be proactive in planning how and where you will travel, where you can afford to stay, what you will eat and what you will do for fun and adventure. That means doing your "homework." Research what Minnesota destinations offer and what others say about them.
• Budget: Even inexpensive romantic getaways can seem difficult to fund unless you save for them. Time together as a couple is important. Creating a special fund for your romantic getaways honors your commitment to each other. When you know how long you’ll be vacationing, and where you’ll be staying, you can begin to plan how much you can spend each day and what your spending priorities are. Finding discount hotel deals will leave more of your budget for special meals or other things you want to experience.
• Purchase a guidebook: A great Minnesota travel guidebook is worth its weight in gold. The one we recommend is the best!Ultimately the guidebook will save you money. You will find lots of information on tourist attractions, cheap places to eat and sleep and local things of interest you might not discover on your own. Get the inside scoop on the best days to visit museums or where to find little known free events.
• Go in the "off season:" Inexpensive romantic getaways in Minnesota can be found all year round however summer is "peak" tourist season and prices may be higher in many cases. If you plan your getaway before the first of June or after the end of August you are likely to find that cheap romantic getawaysare easier to plan. Another idea for a romantic weekend getaway is to take your “weekend” on days other than Saturday and Sunday.
• Eat cheap. Even if you budget for a romantic dinner or two, you will save a lot on food by picking up some treats and snacks at the grocery store. Stock up on fruit, cheese and crackers, and some refreshing beverages that you can eat any time and place. Plan a picnic or two. Wherever you are in Minnesota, you will find lovely parks or beaches to try these romantic picnic ideas.



• Plan your flights well: When it comes to getting the cheapest flights, you can either book well ahead of your planned vacation date or get a last-minute flight. Go directly to online sites and check out the offerings. The best deals are often those that combine air and hotel. Check the deals often to find the best deals for every season in Minnesota. You should also search for "all inclusive" vacation deals that include airfare, accommodation, meals and drinks. Some packages even include admission to clubs, bars, parks and attractions.
• Pack light and smart. Experienced travelers always follow this advice. With airlines now charging extra for bags it makes even more sense. One small suitcase and a backpack should hold all of the essentials for any trip. Take items that can serve double duty. Pack the smallest sizes of things like shampoo. DO pack earplugs, an eyemask, your iPod, a book, and comfortable shoes. These items can will help you relax during downtime or get through a wait if you're stuck in an airport terminal.
• Do things on your own. Two goals of inexpensive romantic getaways are to 1) be alone as a couple and 2) to spend as little as possible. So don't pay for tour guides or group tours. Use your Minnesota guidebook, ask questions of the locals and create your own adventure!
• Flexibility is important. Last minute romantic vacation deals can save you a lot of money. The best bargains for your cheap romantic getaway may not be in the location that is your first choice. Don’t be a slave to an agenda. Some places will be more interesting than you expected; others will be less so. Whatever destination you choose, if something does not meet your expectations, move on to another activity or adventure.
