Traveling to a foreign city can be an exciting and enriching experience, but sometimes it can also feel like you’re just following the tourist trail and missing out on the authentic culture and lifestyle of the locals. If you want to get a deeper and more meaningful connection with your destination, you might want to try traveling like a local. But how do you do that without sacrificing comfort and quality? Here are five ways to experience foreign cities like a local on a luxury budget.
- Stay with locals, live like locals
One of the best ways to immerse yourself in the local culture and vibe of a foreign city is to stay with locals in their homes. You can find a variety of options on platforms like Airbnb, where you can rent a room or an entire place from a local host. Not only will you save money compared to staying in a hotel, but you will also get insider tips, recommendations, and stories from your host. You might even make some new friends along the way. For example, if you’re visiting Paris, you can stay in a chic and cozy apartment in the heart of the city, with a friendly and helpful host who can show you around the neighborhood and the best places to eat, drink, and shop.
