If you want travel deals this summer, prepare to sweat.
On Tuesday, TripAdvisor released its annual study of cities where travelers can get deals this summer (through September) and most of them have one thing in common: Temperatures can easily hit 90 degrees Fahrenheit and above this season. Indeed, half of the least expensive U.S. destinations to visit are in the South, where the average cost of a three-day trip is $1,250 for two people ($600 less than a trip to the often-cooler West).
The study examined 39 cities and looked at the cost of a four-star hotel for three nights, a visit to three attractions, lunch and dinner each day, and an Uber or taxi to and from dinner each day. It did not take into account airfare or renting a car, which can add hundreds to the cost of your trip.
Here are the 10 least expensive cities to visit this summer — and to help you beat the heat, we’re sharing ways you can stay cool in each during your visit:
New Orleans
The Big Easy is the least expensive city in America to visit this summer, at a total cost of $1,148 for two people over three days. Travelers can enjoy a swim in Lake Pontchartrain or rent a boat to take out on the lake. Some of the top museums in the area include the National WWII Museum and the New Orleans Museum of Art. And, of course, nearly every bar in this alcohol-friendly city is blasting the air conditioning in the summer (though we can’t promise you won’t leave your trip covered in mosquito bites).
Houston
A trip for two will cost you $1,190 (not counting that 10-gallon hat you may want to buy to shield you from the sun) and there are plenty of cool things to do. Tourists may want to buy a City Pass, which is $56 for adults and $46 for kids, in which you get admission to five of Houston’s popular attractions including the aquarium, the Children’s Museum, the Museum of Fine Arts, the zoo and more.
Las Vegas
Not only do the casinos blast the AC, they typically offer guests at least one lavish pool to cool off in, lots of indoor shopping and plenty of shows, including David Copperfield, the Beatles Cirque du Soleil and the Blue Man Group. Price for two to visit: $1,195.
Atlanta
For $1,296 for two, this Georgia city has plenty to offer travelers that won’t make you sweat, including the Georgia Aquarium, the Atlanta History Center and the High Museum of Art.
Dallas
As election season heats up, politics buffs may relish a trip to Dallas, where they can see the George W. Bush Presidential Library and Museum and the John F. Kennedy Memorial Plaza. Trip price for two: $1,315.
Miami
Staying along the main drag in Miami offers heat-weary travelers two big perks: Many of the hotels there have luxurious pools and when you get tired of that, you can hit up the beach. Price: $1,359.
Washington, D.C.
Political junkies will have no trouble staying cool while entertaining themselves in this town, visiting sites like the Library of Congress, the Smithsonian and more. Cost for two to take a trip to the nation’s capital this summer: $1,406.
Philadelphia
For $1,483, a couple can enjoy this city’s rich history, including visits to the National Constitution Center, the Philadelphia Mint and more.
San Diego
The gorgeous beaches (particularly La Jolla Cove) are a big draw here and you can stay cool by swimming, boating or surfing. Price: $1,491.
Minneapolis
A trip for two to Minneapolis will set you back $1,516. One great way to stay cool here: Visit the Chain of Lakes with their wading pools, water parks, swimming area, boats and more.

If you want travel deals this summer, prepare to sweat.
On Tuesday, TripAdvisor released its annual study of cities where travelers can get deals this summer (through September) and most of them have one thing in common: Temperatures can easily hit 90 degrees Fahrenheit and above this season. Indeed, half of the least expensive U.S. destinations to visit are in the South, where the average cost of a three-day trip is $1,250 for two people ($600 less than a trip to the often-cooler West).
The study examined 39 cities and looked at the cost of a four-star hotel for three nights, a visit to three attractions, lunch and dinner each day, and an Uber or taxi to and from dinner each day. It did not take into account airfare or renting a car, which can add hundreds to the cost of your trip.
Here are the 10 least expensive cities to visit this summer — and to help you beat the heat, we’re sharing ways you can stay cool in each during your visit:
New Orleans
The Big Easy is the least expensive city in America to visit this summer, at a total cost of $1,148 for two people over three days. Travelers can enjoy a swim in Lake Pontchartrain or rent a boat to take out on the lake. Some of the top museums in the area include the National WWII Museum and the New Orleans Museum of Art. And, of course, nearly every bar in this alcohol-friendly city is blasting the air conditioning in the summer (though we can’t promise you won’t leave your trip covered in mosquito bites).
Houston
A trip for two will cost you $1,190 (not counting that 10-gallon hat you may want to buy to shield you from the sun) and there are plenty of cool things to do. Tourists may want to buy a City Pass, which is $56 for adults and $46 for kids, in which you get admission to five of Houston’s popular attractions including the aquarium, the Children’s Museum, the Museum of Fine Arts, the zoo and more.
Las Vegas
Not only do the casinos blast the AC, they typically offer guests at least one lavish pool to cool off in, lots of indoor shopping and plenty of shows, including David Copperfield, the Beatles Cirque du Soleil and the Blue Man Group. Price for two to visit: $1,195.
Atlanta
For $1,296 for two, this Georgia city has plenty to offer travelers that won’t make you sweat, including the Georgia Aquarium, the Atlanta History Center and the High Museum of Art.
Dallas
As election season heats up, politics buffs may relish a trip to Dallas, where they can see the George W. Bush Presidential Library and Museum and the John F. Kennedy Memorial Plaza. Trip price for two: $1,315.
Miami
Staying along the main drag in Miami offers heat-weary travelers two big perks: Many of the hotels there have luxurious pools and when you get tired of that, you can hit up the beach. Price: $1,359.
Washington, D.C.
Political junkies will have no trouble staying cool while entertaining themselves in this town, visiting sites like the Library of Congress, the Smithsonian and more. Cost for two to take a trip to the nation’s capital this summer: $1,406.
