While Florida had a reputation for being a tourist trap, Orlando features its fair share of hidden budget-friendly options. Home to \u201cThe Happiest Place On Earth\u201d \u2013 Disney World – and it\u2019s various other parks, Orlando in Florida is the go-to choice for countless families when visiting the USA. But that’s not all, as so many of the attractions here are on the list of the best things to do in Florida<\/a>. The state hosts millions of tourists every year, so rest assured that there is an abundance of hotels that have a price point to suit every family\u2019s budget<\/a>. In addition, there are a wide array of activities and things to do that really add value for money too.

Washington D.C<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

This amazing location is not only the epicenter of America\u2019s political standing, but it also has a large number of landmarks that you can visit, often for free. Whether you decide to spend the day at the Lincoln Memorial or visit the White House there is plenty for those that love all things politics. However, if this does not sound like your idea of fun there are a multitude of other activities for you to do; visit a free concert at the national gallery of art or even take a trip to the Exorcist stairs, made famous by the 1973 film.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

San Francisco, California<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

When visiting the United States, one of the most iconic locations you could possibly visit is San Francisco. With landmarks such as the Golden Gate Bridge as well as Pier 39 for you to take a look at for free, there is plenty to do on a budget whether travelling alone or on a romantic trip<\/a>. In addition to this, you also have the option to visit the infamous Alcatraz Island – this prison is said to have been inescapable and was home to some of the fiercest criminals that the USA has ever seen. If you want a closer look at this must-see location, it\u2019s just a short boat trip away into San Francisco Bay. And there are plenty of cheap places to eat in San Francisco, too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Las Vegas, Nevada<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

For many, it is a common misconception that Las Vegas is an expensive place to visit. However, it\u2019s far easier to visit on a budget than you might think, especially if you know where to look. With a wide array of hotels offering cheaper rooms at affordable prices<\/a>, particularly when booking packages or staying further away from The Strip, you can be living it up in Sin City without breaking the bank. However, we recommend avoiding the temptation to play at the casinos as this has the potential to make it expensive. With plenty of shops for you to explore as well as a night spent walking the world-famous Strip, you can have the full Vegas experience, regardless of your budget. Las Vegas offers so many things to do<\/a>!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are plenty of places that you can visit within the United States without breaking the bank, meaning that you can take the whole family to have some fun in the sun without any financial concerns. Enjoy!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
