Are you looking to travel this summer, but are facing serious budget constraints? You have come to the right place! From tropical beaches to modern and urban cities, here are the 10 places that won’t make a dent in your budget:
Russia
A drastic decline in the rubble has made Russia an ideal travel destination this year. According to Trip Advisor, Russia’s hotel rates have witnessed a decline of 45% over last year. In addition, Russia’s infrastructure has improved tremendously due to the 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi. Russia has a lot to offer to both nature lovers and adventure seekers. From high-rise skyscrapers in Moscow to the ancient city of Derbent, travelling to Russia will leave you with nothing but fond memories.
Istanbul
Located between Asia and Europe, Istanbul is a beautiful blend of East and the West. With its rich heritage and culture, Istanbul has historic mosques, contemporary cafes and design-savvy boutique hotels. Its most renowned spot is the Blue Mosque, built in 1616 and containing its founder’s tomb.
According to research firm Hopper, Istanbul is one of the cheapest European cities to fly to this summer as one-way tickets from New York cost about $605. Furthermore, TripAdvisor named Istanbul one of the 10 cheapest Europe flights to grab from the US this summer, with an average round-trip ticket price of $1,197.
