Quebec City
#1 in Best Cheap Winter Vacations
The cobblestone streets will probably be covered in snow, but that shouldn’t discourage you from exploring neighborhoods like Old Québec and Quartier Petit Champlain. The Canadian city celebrates its way through the frigid temperatures with free or low-cost events and festivals that last from Christmastime to Carnaval in February. When you need to warm up, explore the splendid interiors of Notre-Dame de Québec and the Sainte-Anne-de-Beaupré Shine, both of which offer free entry.
Cozumel
#2 in Best Cheap Winter Vacations
If all you dream about for a winter vacation is escaping to a tranquil Mexican beach, Cozumel is your answer: Turquoise water, great snorkeling and warm temps attract travelers in droves. For lodging, opt for a bed-and-breakfast or a vacation rental to save some coin. If you want to visit Cozumel’s parks, such as Chankanaab Adventure Beach Park and Punta Sur Eco Beach Park, which both charge entrance fees, check the parks’ websites for coupons and specials before you book.
