4. Atlanta, Georgia
In recent years, Atlanta has become one of the most important commercial towns in the U.S. due to its busy international airport, and some popular businesses (Coca-Cola and CNN) that have their headquarters here. As soon as you enter the city, you will notice its charming streets and scenic parks such as Piedmont Park which has picnic areas and 22 grills.
There are many fun things to do while staying in this gorgeous city. The best part? Some museums and attractions are actually free or cost less than $10 per person for admission: the Martin Luther King, Jr. National Historical Site, Centennial Olympic Park, Atlanta Contemporary Art Center, the Center for Puppetry Arts, and the Fernbank Science Center.

You have selected good choices. I have spent time in all places except Phoenix.
Be careful—some of these places have COVID spikes!
Good list! My wife and I have been to each of these cities and concur that they are great places to visit on a budget.
Have you considered St. Louis, Missouri as one of the best places to travel on a budget?
Forest Park has one of the best zoos in the country and it’s free, the Jewel Box is also free, there are free animal shows at the zoo. The St. Louis Arch is a great place and there are river boat rides down the Mississippi River just to name a few attractions. Sports fans will enjoy the St. Louis Cardinals baseball and football teams. Anheuser Bush Brewery gives tours. Many more attractions too numerous to name.
Listing in each top 10 things to do places each cost would have help me decide on where I want to go and what I want to do (Hotels, 5 star restaurants flavors of the city, comic clube, site seeing like tours on the river in San Antonio , theaters with upcoming shows like on Broadway or off Broadway, best tourist places to visit, ect.). Also each could be a revenue stream to subsidize your publication.
I wouldn’t recommend going to Philadelphia, Phoenix or Atlanta. I didn’t enjoy them. You would be better off going to Tucson than Phoenix. And just stay away from Philly and Atlanta.
