Georgia (Country)

Georgia (Country) rivals #1 Vietnam with an average daily budget of $30-45, leveraging 8,000 years of winemaking and Caucasus mountain scenery without Alpine price tags. Tbilisi's sulfur baths cost $5, and traditional meals like khachapuri are $3-5—half the meal cost in #3 Colombia. The wine, made in clay qvevri pots via a UNESCO-listed method, is available for $2 per glass. Kazbegi and Svaneti offer Alpine-grade hiking at 70% less expense than Europe's average, and one-year visa-free entry for most nationalities removes a $50+ typical visa fee.
