Do you want to have some money left at the end of summer? Then it's a matter of good planning and timing. Haven't booked anything yet? Pay attention: this week is the cheapest to go on vacation. And it does fall in the summer, but it can save you hundreds of euros.

Loudbudgeting, the global TikTok trend where people openly talk about budgeting and saving, is now also a hype when it comes to vacations. Because traveling is fun, but it is expensive. So just pay attention to a few things and you can go twice a year instead of once a year. It's a matter of playing the game smart.

Skyscanner reveals that the first week of July (week 27) is on average the cheapest to fly this summer. A comparison: by choosing this week instead of the last week of July (week 31), Dutch travelers can save an average of 22 percent. That's an average saving of €452 for a family of four. The most expensive week then? That's the last week of July; that's when most people like to go on vacation and as a result, ticket and rental car prices shoot up during that period.

There is more good news for bargain hunters. Keeping an eye on your budget is always a good idea, right? And these are the cheapest destinations to travel to this year, as the percentage indicates how much cheaper your vacation here is compared to other years:

1. Marrakech, Morocco -22%

2. Boston, America -14%

3. Sydney, Australia -14%

4. Reykjavik, Iceland -12%
