Summer–a time for fun, laughter, and food. It’s also the perfect time to take a quick vacation.

But with all the responsibilities at work, school or home, you probably can’t stay away too long.

Weekend trips sound great, but on the other hand–why pay so much for flights just to stay for a couple of days?

It’s a good thing we’re living in 2018, and more and more amazing cheap flights are coming up every day.

So, with some good, affordable flights, there’s no reason why you can’t take these 5 weekend food trips this summer!

Vilnius, Lithuania

There are some great cheap flights to this Eastern European capital, and it’s even better that it’s quickly becoming a food destination!

Vilnius is a growing metropolis, more and more being known as a gateway between Asia and Europe.

Therefore, there are lots of great options here for foodies: Turkish, Georgian, Armenian, Russian Indian, Vietnamese, Chinese, Japanese, Korean, and so much more.

You’ve got a wide selection, and you won’t have to spend a lot to get a lot.

Riga, Latvia

Just a quick stone’s throw away from Vilnius is Riga, the capital of Latvia.

This is fantastic hub for not just Eurasian travelers and restaurants, but also for Scandinavian cuisine.

There are plenty of cheap flights to take to this wonderful city, and with a low cost per person in even the fanciest restaurants, you’ll find plenty of places to eat for a quick weekend trip.

Paphos, Cyprus

Situated in southwest Cyprus is sunny Paphos, a beautiful and surprisingly low-cost destination.

The island not only offers you amazing views of the beaches and ancient ruins, but also absolutely delicious food–especially the seafood.

In such an amazing part of the world, you can get fantastic food, a great tan, and wonderful cultural experiences all within a short weekend.

Lisbon, Portugal

Traveling to the other part of Europe, you’ll quickly see why Lisbon is such an amazing (and cheap) food destination.

It’s perfect for the quick getaway, with great priced, cheap flights, hotels, and of course meals.

If you go for the standard casual food experiences, such as street food or cafeterias, you’ll be shocked at just how much bang you can get for your buck (or euro).

And even with the more formal sit-down dinners, you’ll be able to treat yourself and your group to amazing dining experiences.

Budapest, Hungary

Lastly, we go closer to the center of Europe to the fairy tale land of Budapest.

Hungary as a country has a fantastically long, complex, and beautiful history, and Budapest is its crown jewel.

But you’ll get much more on your quick weekend trip there than just architecture. You’ll see just how much love goes into their traditional and modern cuisine, and it’s all very well priced.

With some fantastic cheap flights most of the year, you’ll spend a fraction but have experiences worth a fortune.

So don’t hesitate! There’s really no reason for you to not have an amazing, quick weekend food trip this summer.
