Cheapest Cities to Visit in the US

1. Philadelphia, PA

Packed with culinary treats and restaurants that hold a BYOB policy, Philly is the next best thing for travellers in search of some East Coast feel, without a New York City budget. The best way to reach the city is by Amtrak train, and the SEPTA transit system will charge you $11 for a daily pass that allows you to use all forms of public transportation. For $130 you’ll likely find a nice hotel in the city center, but you can always save more money by staying at a hostel. Packed with food trucks serving all kinds of food, you can eat affordably and then visit the Independence Hall, the Liberty Bell, or the National Constitution Center for less than $15 total. At these prices, Philadelphia is certainly one of the cheapest cities to visit in the US.
