Barcelona. Spain has recently hit the travel radar for being a prime food destination and an affordable one at that. A basic daily budget of $60 per person should cover a dorm bed, basic transportation, food and some attractions while they’re in town. Of course, travelers looking for a private room or wanting to do more activities should plan accordingly. Food enthusiasts might also want to journey over to San Sebastian on the Atlantic coast for even more good eats during their travels.

New Orleans. Although it took a beating during Hurricane Katrina in 2005, this Southern town has long since reclaimed its spot as a prime American culinary destination. Shrimp, gumbo, and beignets are just a few of the items that you can expect to find on most menus. Of course, travelers should allot around $75 per person per day to cover their basic expenses. Since there aren’t many hostels in the city, you might find yourself spending more on accommodations than you normally would.

Bologna. What do Parmesan cheese, balsamic vinegar, and Parma hams all have in common? The fact that they originate from the area surrounding this Italian city, of course! While most people will choose to head to popular towns like Rome or Venice on their vacation, this town makes an easy and tasty stopover to the traditional Italian itinerary. It’s also an affordable stop with budget travelers being able to get by on about $70 per day. If you have some time on your hands, you might also want to swing over to Florence for even more great dining options.
