7. Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic: $460

One of the most affordable destinations to visit right now is Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic. Santo Domingo is one of the Dominican Republic's three main international airports, and it's located close to the historic capital city.

While most people visit the Dominican Republic for its affordable all-inclusive resorts, flying into the capital can save you money compared to flying into Punta Cana, which is where many resorts are.

Santo Domingo is one of the best Caribbean capitals, thanks to its blend of history, culture, a lively atmosphere, and beautiful colonial architecture, making it a great place to start or end your trip.
