What stops one from traveling more in a year? It’s the money problem of course! Most of us out there have limited savings which makes it difficult for us to take our favorite backpack and go explore a new country. As a result we end up becoming more of a travel seeker than actual travelers.
It’s August already, right? More than half of the year 2019 has gone by and we’re sure there are quite a lot of you who still haven’t traveled anywhere this year. We understand that traveling requires a lot of planning to do. When you’re picking a country to travel, many aspects come into your mind — the best time to book the flight so that you can manage to get a steal-deal price for your tickets, doing our bit of research of everyday expenses there, picking places that offer us local experiences, and much more. We love traveling and we love encouraging others to travel too. Here’s a list of some of the cheapest travel destinations that you can still go to this 2019. Read all of it and thank us later.
1. Auckland, New Zealand
While the 20-hour odd flight to Auckland can be quite intimidating, this major city that falls on the north side of New Zealand’s North Island is iconic. The city’s oldest park, Auckland Domain is based around an extinct volcano, now how cool is that! This lovely city also boasts of some of the world’s finest wineries, thermal springs, and wilderness reserves. And one look at the flight booking websites, and you’ll notice how the airfare prices have been continuing to go down by double digits. A lower airfare price is like a legit sign that the country is inviting you to pay a visit, don’t you think?
And if you’re worried about the accommodation here, well the city provides a myriad of inns, resorts, and hotels that suits every individual’s budget and personality. So, what are you waiting for? Go start planning your trip now!
2. Rome, Italy
It’s Italy’s capital for a reason — it boasts of globally influencing art and architecture for almost 3000 years. The innumerable cultural landmarks, historic monuments, and the very sought-after Italian cuisine — it is definitely a no-brainer if you’re thinking about a quick Euro getaway. Rome also falls right in the middle of the country which makes it easier for you to plan day trips to the surrounding Amalfi Coast, Tuscany, etc. And if you lookup for the data of airfares, you’ll notice how the ticket prices have dropped massively since last year.
Concerning accommodation, well, you can either bag good swanky deals for hotels from websites if you manage to book in advance, or you can also take the hostel route and live and make friends in shared accommodations.
3. New York, New York
If you are thinking about jaunting around the Big Apple, then there’s never a wrong time to visit New York! Although it’s in January when the airfare is lowest, the flight booking website and apps always have great discounts for those who love to fly to the dream city of the world, New York!
Everybody dreams to visit its skyscraper, the Empire Estate and the sprawling Central Park which is a world on its own. There’s always some or the other live concert happening in the city and if you’re a music lover just visit and let life surprise you there. Also, the accommodation options are plenty right from hotels to hostels. Pick the one that fits in your budget and book.
4. San Juan, Puerto Rico
Ever since the thriller movie, Fast And Furious 5 was shot in San Juan, tourists have been flocking this beautiful place that offers a perfect beach vacay. After Hurricane Maria hit this capital city of Puerto Rico, the city that looks beautiful with cobblestone streets has opened its arms to tourists and travelers. It will hardly cost you anything when you visit here, that cheap are the travel rates as well as its restaurants and hotels.
You can either hike to the rainforest, go for an epic snorkeling experience in the Icacos Island or just simply stroll through its streets admiring its Spanish architecture. From beach view hotels to hostels that are located right on the beach, the traveler in you will love this place.
5. New Port, Rhode Island
Owing to the popularity of its yacht-filled harbors, Newport is loved by most travelers for a summer vacay. But not many are aware that this city looks its beautiful best even in the winters. The stunning seaside parks, the oddball antique shops — these are few of the off-season places which New Port offers one in winters. Once you arrive here, don’t forget to buy a winter passport which will help you enjoy the glory of all the antique mansions at a very cheaper price.
And even with little money you can still vacay in Newport opting for upscale hotels as they all offer packages at a lower price.
