Top 5 - Travel Sites, Pet Friendly Cities and Nude Beaches


Top 5 Best Travel Sites - as per Budget Travel

  • Dohop.com - Strictly for booking plane trips outside the U.S. such as a flight between Paris and Rome.

  • Kayak.com - The all time best site for finding the cheapest plane tickets in the U.S. This site is easy to use and Budget Travel recommends the Kayak's flexible-date search tool if you are flexible on your travel dates.

  • Priceline.com - This site is great for those flexible travelers as Budget Travel loves the bidding blindly button of naming your own price as you can pay up to 1/2 off for upscale hotels in large cities.

  • Tripadvisor.com - a good hotel review site.

  • Venere.com - spotlights independently owned properties overseas many of which never show up on American travel sites.
