Stretch Your Dollar: 5 Travel Bargains

Reporting
Rob Johnson
CHICAGO (CBS) ― The economy is tight, but you can still find travel bargains. SmarterTravel.com has come up with a list of five destinations where you can stretch your dollar.

#5 Vilnius, the capital of Lithuania. Anne Banas of Smarter Travel says it's just been dubbed the capital of European culture.

"They are not using the Euro as their currency, which tends to make the city and other destinations in the country more affordable," Banas said.

#4 Lima, Peru. Banas says that you can find hotel rooms as low as $5 per night.

#3 Kansas City. It's spent millions to make itself a tourist destination.

"One of the things they have, it's called the Power and Light District, which is nine blocks of entertainment and food venues."

#2 Vancouver, Canada. Visit in February and March and find a variety of free cultural events.

Smarter Travel's #1 best destination of 2009: Riviera Nayarit, Mexico.

"They can do things like water sports. They can visit colonial villages, go golfing," Banas said.

Plus, you can find a hotel for as little as $60 a night.
