Spring is one of the best times to travel on a budget: lower flight prices, discounted accommodations, and fewer crowds. Here are the best affordable spring travel destinations.
1. Portugal
Lisbon and Porto offer stunning coastlines, pastel buildings, and incredible food—at far lower prices than Western Europe’s hotspots.
2. Vietnam
Spring (February–April) provides perfect weather in northern and southern regions. Travelers can enjoy mountains, beaches, street food, and cultural landmarks on a low budget.
3. Morocco
Spring temperatures make desert tours, markets, and city explorations more comfortable. Marrakech and Chefchaouen offer colorful, budget-friendly experiences.
4. Mexico
Places like Oaxaca, Mérida, and Puerto Vallarta offer warm weather, beaches, food markets, and culture without the high price tags of Cancun.
5. Greece (shoulder season)
Islands like Crete, Rhodes, and Naxos are affordable in spring, with mild temperatures and fewer tourists.
