Cheapest places to vacation in june
Where do you like to go on vacation? As a travel blogger, I’m often asked this question (and if you’re reading this it is more than likely that you are also curious as to where I go). There are a ton of factors that go into deciding on your travel destination and just because “Destination X” is considered a “cheap place to vacation in June” doesn’t mean it is the right choice for you. Today we will take a look at some vacation destinations, how much they cost, and how you can make them even cheaper.
If you’re a budget conscious traveler and want to find the best place to vacation, certain months are generally cheaper than others. You also have to consider how far in advance you can find your vacation spot during a less expensive month. Things include price, success planning ahead of time, travel distance, and ease of booking all play important factors in choosing the most affordable vacation possible.
June is a great time to visit Europe. The weather is typically very nice, and you can catch up on your sightseeing before the crowds of summer arrive. Here are some of the cheapest places to vacation in June:
- Paris, France
Paris is one of the world’s most popular destinations, but it’s also one of the most affordable. You’ll get plenty of bang for your buck when you travel here in June!
- London, England
London is another European city that’s great for budget travelers. It’s also home to some of the best museums and galleries in the world—you can spend hours exploring them without spending much cash!
- Prague, Czech Republic
Prague is known for having great food and drink deals; if you’re looking for cheap eats, this city is a great place to start! It also has some amazing architecture and history… no matter what kind of traveler you are, Prague will make an impression on you with its unique culture and atmosphere.
1. Las Vegas, Nevada
Yes, it is quite hot in Las Vegas in June, but since it is the off-season, you will be able to cool off in the swanky hotel room you were able to nab for a great price. During June, you’ll save on flights, too. With fewer tourists heading here, and plenty of flight options available, you should be able to find rates for less than $200 round-trip.
While you should expect ridiculous temperatures (we’re talking triple digits), June visitors can take advantage of the many indoor activities offered for a reasonable price at this time of year. During the day, take advantage of the dry heat and fewer crowds to hike the Red Rock Canyon or get on the water with a boat tour of Hoover Dam.
Stroll The Forum shops along the Strip and get the best vantage point of the Las Vegas lights from on top of the Eiffel Tower at the Paris Las Vegas or take a gondola ride at The Venetian Resort. Early morning is the best time to be active if you’re hoping to stave off the afternoon scorchers.
To save even more money on your vacation, you can just relax by the hotel pool and enjoy the discounted buffets.

2. Cancun, Mexico
Summer is the off-peak season in Cancun, which makes it one of the cheapest places to go in June. Airfares can be almost 50 percent less than during the peak-travel season in the winter months. Resorts and hotels also slash rates significantly to fill rooms. Many resorts will throw in credits to use for spa services, on-site restaurants, and free nights to entice summer travelers.
What’s the catch? It’s hot in Mexico in June, but since you are by the ocean, it’s easy to cool off if that means saving hundreds of dollars for an affordable vacation. June is also on the front-end of the hurricane season, which lasts through November, but most storms hit on the tail-end of the season.
You can use your Cancun vacation to hit the pristine beaches with fewer people and take advantage of the many water sports available. Maybe this is the year you learn how to parasail. If you feel like getting out of the beach chair, you can always visit the Chichén Itzá Mayan archaeological site or Tulum.

3. Costa Rica
Prices in Costa Rica are at their lowest this time of year, and since the conversion rate is favorable, especially to the US dollar, it makes even more sense to travel here in June. Hotels and resorts discount their rates to lure in summer travelers outside of the peak tourist season. The rain forests, which the region is known for, benefit from the high humidity and rainfall in June, so you will not miss any of the adventure by coming in the off-season.
Besides the breathtaking rain forests and an abundance of wildlife, like wild monkeys and birds, Costa Rica has stunning beaches to enjoy. There are many types of outdoor adventures to experience to take full advantage of your visit, from ziplining through the forest canopy to trekking the volcanoes in the region. Since there are fewer tourists in June, check with your hotel or resort to see where you can get additional discounts on tours.

Most businesses in Europe take a holiday in July and August, so June is an ideal month to hit a less traveled place like Krakow, Poland for great rates, nice weather, and less crowded attractions before the major tourist rush. Since Krakow has many hostels and cheap hotels in the city, you can save even more by going that route.
This historic town is one of the oldest cities in Poland and it has an elegant central city with stunning architecture. You will have no problem filling your agenda with sites that you can walk to in June’s comfortable weather, like the Main Market Square and St. Mary’s Basilica. Compared to other destinations in Europe your money will go further in Krakow, especially with discounts that you can find throughout the month of June.
5. San Juan, Puerto Rico
You will always get the best rates when destinations are in the shoulder or off-peak season. That’s why you need to visit San Juan, Puerto Rico in June. The beginning of the off-season, June is the month you’ll begin to see hotel rates decline, and they will continue to fall throughout the month. With multiple flights to and from San Juan, it’s easy to keep an eye out for bargains or last-minute deals from major airlines.
Tourists also begin to decline in June, which means the beaches and attractions will have plenty of room to allow you to stretch out.
