The world's 25 cheapest places to travel

New Orleans, USA

You can’t escape from music in New Orleans – and with buskers on what often seems like every corner, and music in every courtyard and bar, it’s not hard to experience the city’s musical heritage without spending much more than the price of a beer. The city is best experienced slowly, and on foot, and it’s hard to beat people-watching over a cup of coffee and a plate of sugar-dusted beignets at the Café du Monde.
