5 Best cheapest countries to go to on holiday

1. Costa Rica


Volcanoes, national parks, wildlife, pure lakes, blue sea and golden beaches, Caribbean culture and relatively low cost… Costa Rica would fit your expectations. Corcovado National Park is called one of best rainforest national park to adventure and is probably the most popular site for visitors. But if you are finding the paradise that is relatively quieter, Palo Verde National Park could be the one. Bring your telephoto lens to capture the moment of volcano eruption and the flocks of big colorful birds you have never seen before. Do not forget your swimsuit since you have countless chances to play with waterfalls, swimming holes and natural hot springs

2. Peru

Peru is really an amazing place to visit. When choosing where to backpack inexpensively consider this place as your destination. Rainforests, ruins, and beaches are plentiful. Lima the capital is a good place to start your trip if you don’t have a game plan. The cool part about Peru also is that you don’t really need a plan. Just have a map, a little Spanish under your belt, and a good pair of hiking shoes. You’re all set for a once in a lifetime adventure.
Most people come here attracted to the Inca trail, but there's a lot more to the country than that. Here you can sail the Amazon, visit the deserted, white sand beaches of Mancora, and explore the ruins of other Inca destinations like Moray and Choquequirao. Meals are rarely more than $5, private guesthouse rooms are around $25, and you can go anywhere in the country for less than $30. Don’t let those jaw-dropping prices for the Inca trail you see online deter you from one of the funniest, happiest, and cheapest countries in South America. Pro tip: If you go to Cuzco, you can get last-minute deals to Machu Picchu for 50% off!

3. Portugal


Another cheap Eurozone country is Portugal. Here you’ll find beautiful beaches, wine country, stunning cliffs, and historic cities at bargain prices. Lisbon is also one of the most affordable cities to stay in a five-star hotel. Throw in helpful, outgoing locals who serve up delicious food (especially seafood), and you have the making of a perfect place. I was blown away by Portugal and how little anybody ever talked about it. Everyone heads to Italy when they should be going to Portugal!

4. Greece


Due to the country's ongoing economic difficulties, the cost of holidaying in Greece is lower than it used to be. Whilst it's still pretty pricey to stay on famous Greek islands like Santorini or Mykonos, pick a quieter Greek getaway like Paros or Skiathos and you can still while away the days in 28 degree heat, sipping ice-cold Mythos (between £1.70 and £4 a pint depending on where you stay) for half the price.Declining tourism has only helped ensure cheaper prices. Go there, enjoy historic sights, help the local economy, and save money.

5. India


Backpacking India is easy and inexpensive. Food, accommodations, and travel are very cheap compared to other places around the world. Backpacker’s hostels are located in all the major cities and many touring guides appeal to college travelers as well. Backpacking India means leaving luxuries like hot water pressure and air conditioning at home in exchange for some pretty incredible sites and people to meet.

Six Best Cities To Visit In The USA

1 | NEW YORK
New York City
The "capital of the world" lives up to that title, as the financial and art center of the world. From Wall Street to Broadway, there is always something major going on, new restaurants opening to share all of the world's cuisines, and stores offering a little of everything. If you can't find it here, you won't find it anywhere. Trendsetting New York is the city everyone should visit at least once in their lifetime.



2 | SAN FRANCISCO
San Francisco
It has lost some of its allure, but San Francisco is the most beautiful city in America. The city by the bay is scenic and welcoming, with major landmarks and cultural attractions. There are the gorgeous Victorian homes, parks and stretches of sand, and picture-postcard views, always with the monumental Golden Gate Bridge somewhere nearby as a backdrop. This is usually the American city that's hardest to leave.



3 | LOS ANGELES
Los Angeles
The city everyone dreams of isn't a city of angels and is no heaven, but it is a destination to see to be believed. The lives of the rich and famous really are as ostentatious as stereotyped, proven on tours of celebrity homes and celebrity life that are among the city's most popular activities. L.A. really is a city made up of several cities, and visitors have different experiences depending on whether they find themselves in Hollywood, Venice Beach, Santa Monica or Beverly Hills, but it is always a dazzling experience to remember.




4 | WASHINGTON D.C.
Washington DC
This city is a tribute to the American spirit, although aesthetically it's more European than American. Instead of skyscrapers, it's made up of low-rise buildings, mostly in a majestic neo-classical style. It's a museum city full of monuments and memorials that attract both Americans and foreigners, and is now better than ever with a food scene that becomes more appetizing every year.



5 | MIAMI
Miami
It's one of the world's party cities and a destination people go more to be seen than to see. National and international party animals come for the sun, the sand, and the sexy, but there is also the singular Art Deco district and the most Latin atmosphere in the country. All combined, it's a year-round destination that's worth at least a weekend (and one long night) of your life.



6 | LAS VEGAS
Las Vegas
This really isn't a city. It's more an "only in America" theme park in the desert, split in half by one long boulevard. But that's why it's such an exciting magnet for people from all over the world. The magnetism comes from the glowing neons, the outrageous replicas of international landmarks, and the 24-hour clock that keeps on ticking at the casinos or big-name shows. It's the fantasyland city of decadence, and many don't want to die without saying "what happened in Vegas, stayed in Vegas."









The Top 5 Best Cities to Visit in Asia

1 | TOKYO
Tokyo, Japan, Asia
One of the world's top food cities and also a fashion capital, Tokyo is a city more to experience than to sightsee. It's a huge world city, but anywhere you want to go is within walking distance from a train. It has a very efficient transport service, and you will never be bored if you enjoy big fast-paced cities with big crowds -



 2 | BEIJING
Beijing, China, Asia
The Chinese capital has the country's most stunning imperial palaces (at the Forbidden City), and although getting around may not be easy (locals do not speak English or any other language), it's a city no one should miss (go on guided tours). It's home to one of the world's greatest man-made wonders (the Great Wall), as well as to several cultural sites, including a number of magnificent temples.


3 | SHANGHAI
Shanghai, China, Asia
They've called it the "Paris of the East," and this waterfront city has gone from seaside fishing village to one of the world's most industrialized and multicultural metropolises. It's also a major shopping destination, and that Parisien feel is reflected in old palatial buildings and tree-lined avenues. For tourists, one of the most memorable experiences is a scenic boat tour to admire the modern skyline (to photograph the landmark Oriental Pearl Tower), and dining at some of the finest international restaurants in Asia.



4 | SINGAPORE
Singapore, Asia
Some find it too sanitized and soulless, others think it should serve as a model for all world cities. Singapore is one of the world's major modern cities and is also an independent state. It's known as a great food destination and as a cosmopolitan city with a population from all over the world. It's a prosperous place with modern architecture, countless malls and great hotels, not to mention the world's greatest rooftop pool.



5 | HONG KONG
Hong Kong, China, Asia
This former British colony is a dynamic city that's as East as it is West. It offers the exotic and the familiar, the cutting-edge and the traditional. It's a big, vibrant place, something of an Asian New York, and it's not exactly cheap. It between its towering buildings are sophisticated restaurants and shops, meant for those looking to spend some big bucks, but also stalls of Chinese food and lively street markets. It's surprisingly easy to get around, with streets marked in English, good public transportation, pedestrianized streets, and organized tours.


Top 5 Cities in Europe To Visit



1. Paris
Paris is quintessential Europe, an opulent city often imitated around the continent and the world, but impossible to replicate. It captures the imagination for having mastered the art of sophisticated living, and never disappoints. Yes, there's the Eiffel Tower, the Notre Dame, the Champs-Élysées, and the biggest concentration of the world's greatest art at the Louvre, Orsay, Pompidou, and dozens of other museums, but the real Parisian experience is still sitting at a café or bistro, shopping down grand boulevards and squares, and strolling along the Seine. All the Parisien clichés are confirmed and enjoyed everywhere from Montmartre to Marais, and it's not difficult to see why this is the most inspiring of all cities.



2. London 
If Europe has a capital, it is London. It's the continent's largest and richest city, but that's not what makes it an unmissable destination. It's its diversity and cultural influence, and the fact that there is always something new to see and experience. There is always Big Ben and other landmarks like the Tower of London, the living history in Buckingham Palace and Westminster Abbey, and the major year-round exhibitions in Tate Modern, British Museum, and National Gallery, but also new icons like the Gherkin skyscraper and the tallest building in the continent, The Shard. At the top of the to-do list is also some of the best shopping in the world, but wherever you choose to go, you always find a thriving city constantly being revived, and a world leader in art and creativity.


3. Rome -Italy
Like many of the great world capitals, Rome is one of those cities where you can't see everything in one trip. Renowned tourist attractions like the Pantheon (which is gratis!) are plentiful, but remember to get an espresso at the Sant’Eustachio before you accept your free entrance. Get lost in the Eternal City, down alleys and cobblestone streets; you may uncover some of the most spectacular Caravaggios ever made in quiet churches like San Luigi dei Francesi. Don’t forget to bring a few euros with you, says executive editor Steve Orr, because the coin-operated lights only illuminate the paintings for a few moments before fading. And, if you do just one thing in Rome, you must take a bike ride through the Borghese Gardens.



4. Barcelona, Spain


Beautiful, sun drenched Spain offers a scenery, architecture, beaches, and a great nightlife.

Popular Attractions: The Beach
Under the Radar: Open air markets are a must see
Tips: Relax, and make sure the research hostels well.



5. FLORENCE

Florence, Italy
Nowhere else can you best experience one of the greatest periods of European and world history (the Renaissance) than in Florence. This artistic city is an open-air museum and you get a history lesson even if you don't step inside any of its several museums. But no one should leave without entering the Uffizi, with its masterpieces by Leonardo da Vinci, Raphael, Michelangelo, and all the other great names in the history of art. This is a romantic city of beautiful piazzas showcasing magnificent architecture and sculpture, and all of that remarkable heritage can be admired from the top of the extraordinary Duomo.
