How far does GBP 600 go from UK?
A GBP 600 budget is enough for a real international trip from UK, not just the airfare. Every price on this page is the all-in cost: a return economy ticket from London, the visa fee for a UK passport, and roughly 5 nights of budget accommodation, local food and getting around. That is the number that actually matters when you are planning, instead of a flight-only fare that hides the real cost.
On this budget, Paris comes out as one of the most affordable picks at about 370 GBP all-in. We only show places your passport can realistically enter, visa-free, visa-on-arrival or e-visa, so you are not looking at trips you can’t actually take. Destinations that need a hard embassy visa are left out, not mixed in to pad the list.
Flights are the part of the budget that moves the most, so treat the airfare as cheapest-economy and book early for the lowest fares. Hit Search flights on any trip above to see live prices for your dates on that exact route.
Within Europe especially, the cheapest seats are almost always on low-cost carriers like Ryanair, easyJet and Wizz Air, book a few weeks ahead and travel with hand luggage only to land the lowest fares, often a fraction of a full-service ticket. The fares here reflect those budget-airline prices, and the Search flights button includes them.
Visa-friendly destinations for UK passport holders
The UK passport opens up more of the world than most people assume, plenty of visa-on-arrival and e-visa options across Southeast Asia, the Gulf, Central Asia and the Caucasus. This page automatically filters to those reachable destinations and labels the visa type for each, so you can see at a glance whether it’s visa-free, visa-on-arrival, or a quick e-visa before you fall in love with a trip you can’t book.

Are the prices in pounds accurate?
They’re researched cheapest-economy estimates converted to GBP, refreshed periodically, reliable for deciding where to go. Airfare is the volatile part, so reckon on up to about 30% more depending on your dates, and confirm live before booking.
