Inexpensive Travel Destinations
Travel doesn’t have to be expensive when you travel to these destinations
Traveling on a tight budget seems more impossible than ever as fuel prices rise and job growth in the United States stagnates. Don’t fret. Inexpensive travel destinations are still out there, waiting to be discovered. Consider a few recommendations from us here at Cheapflights as you begin your search for the ultimate inexpensive travel destination.
Philadelphia, Pennsylvania
The City of Brotherly love bursts at the seams with inexpensive things to do, especially in summer months. Jam-packed with B.Y.O.B. (bring your own bottle) restaurants, Philadelphia’s thriving culinary scene is less expensive than in most East Coast cities. Spend nights dining on savory prepared dishes and your own, reasonably-priced bottle of wine. Dedicate afternoons to sauntering along the Schuylkill River’s scenic walking path. Zero sales tax on clothing means you’ll spend less in America’s birthplace, a patriotic and inexpensive travel destination.
Madison, Wisconsin
Known primarily for masses of cardinal-clad undergrads and left-leaning politics, Madison combines big-city culture with small-town charm and Midwestern prices. Meet local farmers and sample seasoned cheese curds at the Dane County Farmers’ Market, a Saturday morning tradition, before making your way down State Street, a quaint stretch of boutiques, restaurants and used bookstores. Swap the restaurants – though delicious – for a picnic lunch al fresco at Picnic Point, a mile-long peninsula full of barbecue pits and spectacular views of Madison’s skyline.
Austin, Texas
Arguably the only hipster town in Texas, Austin is the place to be if what you’re looking for is an inexpensive travel destination. The Lone Star town masters barbecue, live music and football all in one medium-sized metropolis. Roll your sleeves up for ribs and pulled pork sandwiches at one of the many cheap eateries in town before venturing down 6th Street, a hub for top-notch shopping, eating, and listening to up-and-coming jazz, blues and indie artists. For a change of pace, grab tickets to a college football game – the University of Texas has one of the best teams in the nation
