Here are the best places to visit in 2023 to get the most bang for your
buck.
Want to travel without breaking the bank?
Kayak,
one of the world's leading travel search engines, shared a list of the
cheapest places to visit this year with Travel.
Kayak considered searches for flights from July 2022 to November 2022 for
travel in 2023 to determine the most cost-effective
destinations.
The top 100 most-clicked destinations with the lowest average flight and
hotel prices were then considered, with outliers excluded based on criteria
such as travel restrictions and security concerns. Prices are on the low
side.
Travelling the world does not have to be out of reach for everyone. Take a
smart and savvy approach to visit desirable destinations at (a
relatively) low cost.
Mexico City, Mexico
Mexico City
is the second-cheapest foreign destination on our list this year, with a
flight and hotel costing only $696. Mexico City is worth a visit while the
costs are on the lower end because of the incredible architecture, delicious
cuisine, walkable neighbourhoods, and incredible arts and culture scene. A
helpful resource is T+L's list of the top activities to do in Mexico
City.
Vancouver, Canada
Vancouver, a stunning coastal metropolis, should be on your list of places
to visit this year. This beautiful and varied gem of western Canada features
Stanley Park, the Vancouver Aquarium, and a flourishing art, theatre, and
music scene, among other attractions. For your journey and hotel, budget
about $754.
Montreal, Canada
With an average cost of $763 for a ticket and hotel this year, another
Canadian city makes the list of the most cost-effective destinations.
Visitors can anticipate a variety of areas, from French colonial to
bohemian, as well as must-see attractions like the Jean-Talon Market and
Notre-Dame Basilica of Montreal. Make a visit in Montreal this year if you
enjoy fine dining, gorgeous architecture, and riverside cities.
Cartagena, Colombia
Even the most weary of travellers will be revived by Cartagena's boundless
energy, and at $792 for a flight and a hotel, the costs aren't too terrible
either. There are beautiful beaches to discover, a walled Old Town from the
16th century, and charming buildings in this port city on Colombia's
Caribbean coast.
San Juan, Puerto Rico
You can land in one of America's most tropical regions after a quick flight
to San Juan, Puerto Rico. Between the vibrant Spanish colonial structures of
Old San Juan and the impressive Castillo San Felipe del Morro, which dates
back to the 1500s, are cobblestoned streets. Even so, it only takes about 45
minutes to travel from the shore to the jungle if you prefer the wonders of
nature to man-made structures. The combined cost of a ticket and hotel
should be about $832.
Houston, Texas
Houston is ranked as the cheapest travel destination in 2023, which is no
surprise given that it is a significant travel hub. Houston is less
expensive to get to than most places, with a ticket and hotel costing only
$569, and there is a ton to do there. A choice among visitors is the
Houston Museum of Natural Science.
Toronto, Canada
You should include Toronto, a hip Canadian metropolis, in your travel
itinerary this year. Your leftover funds can be used to purchase tickets
to the
Hockey Hall of Fame
or peameal bacon sandwiches from
Carousel Bakery
since a trip and hotel cost an average of $577. The lovely
High Park, which is open to the public without fee, is another fantastic
choice.
Denver, Colorado
Prices in the Mile High City are incredibly low, averaging $593 for a
ticket and hotel. Denver has it all, whether you enjoy hiking, art, or hip
metropolitan coffee shops. To experience one of the most unforgettable
concerts of your life, attend a show at the outdoor
Red Rocks Park
and Amphitheatre.
Atlanta, Georgia
Atlanta offers all the benefits of a big metropolis at a lower cost, with
a flight and hotel costing only $623.You'll have more money as a
consequence to spend at places like the Georgia Aquarium or on a ride on
the SkyView Ferris wheel that offers views of Centennial Olympic Park. In
order to learn about local history, it is also beneficial to include a
visit to the National Center for Civil and Human Rights.
Chicago, Illinois
Chicago summer season is unmatched, but the Windy City is also a lot of
excitement in the winter. Spend an afternoon ice skating on the Maggie
Daley
Park Ice Skating Ribbon
before warming up and refuelling with a piece of deep-dish pizza from the
neighbourhood Giordano's. With a $624 average for a flight and hotel,
you'll have enough money left over to see a Broadway performance or climb
to the summit of Skydeck Chicago in the Willis Tower.
New York City, New York
Although New York City isn't known for being an inexpensive destination,
if you play your cards correctly, you can get a flight and hotel for about
$625. It may seem as though all roads lead to New York given the number of
flights into and out of the city, but there are actually many routes and
hotels to pick from, which is good news for your pocketbook. Do you want
to increase your savings? Use T+L's rundown of the top free activities in
New York City to organize your schedule.
Dallas, Texas
You don't have to spend much more than $630 to travel to Dallas for a
ticket and hotel. Visit during the winter for the best discounts, and make
sure to go to a Mavericks or Stars home game (hockey). The city also
offers mouthwatering Tex-Mex at reasonable rates and excellent
barbecue.
Orlando, Florida
A flight and lodging in
Orlando
can cost as little as $632, or as much as you'd like (imagine visiting all
the Disney parks and staying in the fanciest hotels). And, it's hard to
believe, Orlando has a ton of fantastic free activities to do.
Washington, D.C.
A trip to our country's
capital
is essential. The cost of a ticket and hotel should be around $635, but
many of our nation's top museums and galleries, including the National
Portrait Gallery and the Museum of Natural History, are open to the public
without charge.
Portland, Oregon
Set aside $645 for transport and lodging if you intend to visit Portland
this year. There are a ton of activities to do in this hip, environmentally-conscious city in the Pacific Northwest. In Washington
Park, be sure to visit the family-friendly Oregon Zoo and the stately
Japanese Garden. Spend the night in one of the city's many warm lodgings
to stretch your travel budget.
Los Angeles, California
This year, don't pass up La La Land; a flight and hotel should cost you
about $657, and the remainder of your travel budget can be used to eat at
hip restaurants and drink at hip bars. Or, for free sightseeing, take a
stroll down Hollywood Boulevard's Walk of Fame or trek up to the Hollywood
Sign.
San Antonio, Texas
Everything seems to be bigger in
Texas, including your possible savings, it would seem. Don't worry about
saving up too much extra cash because attractions like the
San Antonio River Walk
and Brackenridge Park are completely free. Instead, budget about $658 for
a flight and hotel. Don't forget to visit the Alamo Church, which is free
to visit but does require a timed entrance reservation.
Las Vegas, Nevada
Sin City may not seem like an inexpensive destination, and when you start
booking shows and experiences like
Area15,
costs can definitely add up fast. While we can't control what you do in
the casino, at least your flight and hotel won't be a significant issue at
$658. Additionally, if you want to keep your spending in check, try out
some of the free activities in
Las Vegas.
