There are a lot of us already planning our vacations for the rest of the year. And while many of us will go to the same vacation destination year after year, there are others who like to explore something different. Well, if you are one of those people and you're looking for some ideas, “Money” magazine is here to help.
The magazine just came out with their list of the 20 Best Places to Go To in 2018, which consists of destinations both in the U.S. and internationally that deliver the highest value for your dollar. They’ve even come up with an estimated weekly cost for a visit, which includes average airfare, a week’s worth of hotel rooms, plus local transportation, meals, and activities for two.
- If you’re someone who doesn’t like to travel outside the U.S., they recommend Alexandria, Virginia as their top pick, where the cost of a week for two people will set you back around $2,540. “Money” calls the area “charming,” and notes it’s a great place to stay if you want to visit Washington, DC, which is less than 10 miles away, as well as George Washington’s Mount Vernon and more.
