Travel doesn’t have to be extraordinarily expensive — there are plenty of places to explore on a budget. These locales have plenty of stunning views, leisure activities and nightlife to explore for less than $1,000.
Lisbon, Portugal, is one of the most affordable cities in Europe. Outside of the summer season you can easily find round-trips flights for less than $500. By sticking to a shoestring budget and staying in hostels, you’ll have plenty left over to explore the stunning pastel-colored architecture, cobblestone streets and warm locals.
If you’re seeking something closer to home, check out Puerto Rico. You won’t need a visa or passport, so you’re already saving money there. The island boasts beautiful beaches, colorful cafés and a vibrant atmosphere great for partying.
Reykjavik is the perfect wintertime destination for less than $1,000. Flights here are routinely discounted and, during the right time, can be had for $200 round-trip. Hotels can be found for roughly $70, and most of its greatest attractions are free.
While Mexico’s many resort towns can cost an arm and a leg, you can easily visit the gorgeous town of Puerto Morelos for less than $1,000. Flights cost less than $200 during the less busy seasons, and the popular snorkeling destination has plenty to see and do. Skip the expensive tourist restaurants and eat local to save even more cash.
Finally, one of the best and most affordable travel destinations is right at home. West Virginia is cheap and offers an incredible amount of adventure. Between the rugged, untouched outdoors and miles of epic whitewater rafting, you can have the adventure of a lifetime here and not even break $500. Stay in a cabin for less than $60 a night.
