Bora Bora

These eye capturing photos you see in magazines and reality television are not as far out of reach as you might think. Depending on your budget you might not be able to afford all the extra "amenities" these stunning vacation spots might offer, but you can always manage. Just because your vacation might not be all inclusive doesn't mean you can't go out and explore on your own and create your very own experience without spending a dime. Here's a few beautiful vacation spots you cannot miss out on with a a few cost effective activities!

1. The Great Barrier Reef, Queensland Australia

 One of the seven natural wonders of the world with over 1,600 different species of wildlife, the Great Barrier Reef makes for an unforgettable experience. Obviously snorkeling and deep sea diving is definitely something you are going to want to invest in if you make the trip all way the to the Queensland, Australia. Only running around 230 dollars for an entire toured adventure, it is not unrealistic option considering it is one of the most talked about spots to visit.

2.  Florence, Italy

The picture honestly speaks for itself. Florence is tucked away away in the Tuscan Hills, but the sights and history that lies within the city is extravagant. Piazzale Michelangelo is the towering replica of Michelangelo' David. Going to see this elegant piece of art is free, but you will have to take a hike in order to reach it. Not to worry, the cafes at the top have very delectable bites to eat.  A day full of new sights and historical artwork without paying for a museum fee, how much better could it get?

3. Paris, France

Musee du Louvre

A popular attraction is the Musee du Louvre which is home to the very famous Mona Lisa which was hand crafted by Leonardo Da Vinci himself. Admission to the Louvre is only about 20 american dollars and with over 35,000 art pieces to gawk at you will definitely get your moneys worth.
