What’s this about? The weak pound means buying things abroad costs up to 30% more. To help, we're launching a Great ‘Cheap Holidays & Excursions’ Hunt, tapping the massive collective resource of all MoneySavers. Did you find a bargain way to book outings, or cut costs on places to go?

We've split this into popular holiday destinations.
This discussion is specifically to talk about tips for attractions & days out in:


Majorca


If you want to discuss other excursions for other destinations, please go to the appropriate discussion below.

If you’ve got a suggestion/tip

Simply click reply and add your suggestion, though its worth scanning down first to check it's not been duplicated.

    One tip, in McDonalds happy meals they normally have discount vouchers for the visitor attractions. Not much use if you don't have kids, or don't eat McDonalds, but hopefully helps someone :)

    Cheers, Des.

    Anybody tried pricing a hire car over there? Appartently there is a severe shortage of vehicles this season and consequently rental prices on the few available have shot up.:eek:
    You're Damned If You Do & You're Damned If You Don't :doh:
  • Normally you can find the cheapest car hire using travelsupermarket.com which is a search site. 2 weeks in Majorca (early Oct) has cost us approx £210 for a car for 4 adults and luggage.

    Hi has anyone been to Menorca recently and knows what the exchange rate out there is - was thinking i might get a few more cents actually changing in resorts than the banks here?

    hi i always change currency in resort as you normally get a few cents more on the £ dont use airport or hotel exchange as these are the same as uk go into the town and ask how much they will give you for £100 and then you can work out the rate also look out for no commission shops but deffo ask how much you actually receive before you hand over money happy holidays:rotfl:

    I was in Majorca in May and did not find it expensive. The public transport is reliable and good value.
