No two people flying coach pay the same for their tickets—the trick is to be the one paying the least. Learn how to stay in a medieval castle for less than the bland hotels in town, skip to the head of the line at Paris's Musée d'Orsay, eat for free in Rome, and get the same shore excursions on a cruise at half the price. 

Veteran guidebook author Reid Bramblett shares tips, tricks, and insider secrets that can turn an ordinary vacation into a spectacular trip of a lifetime without increasing the cost. Interspersed among the practical tips, travel-industry trends, and recommended resources will be examples of how saving money doesn't shortchange your trip.

Take a gondola-driving lesson in Venice for the cost of a tourist ride. Attend tai chi, kung fu, and feng shui lessons in Hong Kong for free. Get tango lessons in Buenos Aires for $5. Stay on working farms and countryside monasteries for a fraction of the price of a hotel. In short: Experience more while spending less.
