Last Summer was a bust for travel, but this Summer should be all-clear for vaccinated Americans, at least here in the U.S. So, where should you go that's fun and affordable?

WalletHub.com crunched the numbers to create a list of the best "budget-friendly" U.S. destinations and good news for us, Orlando came in at #1!


They analyzed 100 of the largest metro areas across 42 "key indicators," including stuff like: The price of flights, the local "cost of living," the number of attractions, weather, safety, and the number of "beer gardens per capita."

In the end, Orlando is #1. Honolulu came in at #2, followed by New Orleans. The rest of the Top 10 is:

Austin
Atlanta
Salt Lake City
Tulsa, Oklahoma
Los Angeles
Oklahoma City
Little Rock, Arkansas.

The WORST city to visit is Lansing, Michigan. Ventura County, California just north of L.A. was second-worst, followed by Fort Myers, Florida, then Portland, Maine and Allentown, Pennsylvania.
