Heading over to Portugal will guarantee you a good time without killing your bank account. Portugal is a beautiful place filled with cultural landmarks, great food, and the kind of relaxing views you need after being stuck in the Midwest for a year. While you can end up in 5 star hotels, you don’t have to. There is affordable and tourist friendly places to stay all over the places. Head to Lisbon for a taste of the urban culture otherwise stay to the countryside.
