Bus, Hostel & Co. - Travelling on a budget

When young people travel, their budgets are generally minimal. So we set out to discover Germany on the cheap with a little experiment: two students had to take a three-day trip on just 200 euros.

They took a bus from Leipzig to Berlin, checked into a hostel, and then hit the streets to sample the local nightlife. Then they caught a ride to a campground on the Baltic Sea. When they tallied up their cash, they found they still had forty euros - enough for the return trip.
