Mid-Range Travel Guides
Mid-range travel is the comfortable middle: private rooms, a mix of sit-down meals and casual bites, the occasional guided tour, and room in the budget to say yes to a splurge. In the U.S. that comfort now averages around $325 a day — a figure that has climbed about 7% over the past year as travel prices keep rising. Everything filed here helps you travel well without paying full luxury rates.
