Going on an international holiday is something on many people’s bucket lists. Whether you dream of seeing the Eiffel Tower in Paris or climbing the Incan citadel of Machu Picchu, one thing is for certain: where you go and what you can do when you get there 100% depends on how much money you have to burn.

Unfortunately, money doesn’t grow on trees and for many of us, a holiday destination is usually chosen based on what we can afford. Fortunately, renowned travel guide Lonely Planet has released the results for their Best in Travel awards 2020, and one of those categories happens to be Best in Travel 2020: Best Value.

1. East Nusa Tenggara, Indonesia

Pristine beaches, divine diving locations and fewer crowds than Bali, Lombok or Komodo island

2. Budapest, Hungary

Buzzing bars in historic ruins, majestic thermal baths and edgy café culture, Budapest is an art nouveau dream.

3. Madhya Pradesh, India

With wildlife safari’s coming in at much cheaper prices than those in Africa, Madhya Pradesh nature reserves are home to tigers, deer, boars and langur monkeys.

4. Buffalo, NY, USA

A culinary scene, cultural experiences and the tumbling water of Niagara Falls is just a half-hour drive away.

5. Azerbaijan

The quality of food, accommodation and experiences in this country is relatively low-cost compared to other destinations. Visit the Caspian Sea waterfront city of Baku, or visit mysterious landscapes of mud volcanoes and burning earth, everything is possible here.

6. Serbia

An authentic, characterful European country with laid back café culture, budget-friendly bars on the Danube by night and breathtaking landscapes outside of the city.

7. Tunisia

Dip your toes into North Africa at a pocket-friendly cost in Tunisia. You’ll find the remains of ancient Carthage and the Saharan Sand Dunes – where Luke Skywalker first stared at twin suns – is easily accessible.

8. Cape Winelands, South Africa

World-class safaris, a wine region and historic towns dot the beautiful upland scenery in Cape Winelands.

9. Athens, Greece

Seeing Acropolis glow at night is one of the most magical experiences in Europe, and Athens offers Byzantine churches, neoclassical buildings, a relaxed atmosphere and affordable options for eating out.

10. Zanzibar, Tanzania

Ancient alleyways, beautiful sunsets, cheap eats, multicultural cafes, and beachside accommodation to rival the Caribbean or Pacific Islands.
