According to WalletHub, this is the Atlanta metro area.

The personal finance company released its 2024 list of “Best Summer Travel Destinations” this week, and Atlanta took the top spot, “in part because the cheapest flights from major cities require no connections and can cost as little as $278. », Write the analysts.

WalletHub’s Adam McCann reports that Atlanta “also ranks highly when it comes to the prevalence of amusement parks, malls, ice cream parlors, and swimming pools, so there are plenty of places to have fun and cool off “.

McCann adds that for those who “like to drink while on vacation, Atlanta also has one of the latest ‘last call’ times in the country, at 4 a.m. »

To determine which places offer the most “value for money,” WalletHub experts say they have developed a ranking of the “cheapest, easy-to-reach U.S. destinations.”

Overall, WalletHub analyzed 100 of the largest metro areas on 41 key indicators. “Our data set ranges from the cost of the cheapest flight to the number of attractions to the average price of a meal for two people,” says McCann.
