Here’s Where Budget Travelers Actually Go On Vacation

Curacao

7. Istanbul, Turkey

“The city has something for everyone, and truly lives up to its reputation as the cultural and geographical ‘bridge’ between Europe and the Middle East. Its prime attractions are all either free or cost about five to seven dollars, and lodging is affordable and centrally located. It’s also connected by clean, cheap, safe, and efficient public transit, and bartering for souvenirs at the Grand Bazaar means you can get that kitshy potholder your mom will love for three dollars. Plus, there are ferries that locals use as we would city buses.”
