7. Denver, Colorado
Looking for breathtaking views while hiking or simply enjoying a glass of red wine? Denver, the capital of Colorado is your answer to all your prayers. Sitting at an altitude of 5,280 feet, Denver is the perfect choice for those who love mountains. We actually suggest you to spend a day driving along the Mount Evans Scenic Byway—you will be fascinated.
While you’re here, remember that one of the most well-known attractions in Denver are the breweries. Tours of the Coors Brewery are very budget-friendly, but you’ll have to drive to Golden, Colorado, which is approximately 20 to 30 minutes outside of Denver. After a cold beer (or two), you should visit one of the many free or inexpensive museums and tours such as United States Mint Tour, Denver Story Trek, Buffalo Bill Museum and Grave, and the Colorado State Capitol.

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.
