While the Hawaiian Islands aren’t necessarily known for their affordability, it’s still possible to redeem your way to a (nearly) free trip by using airline miles to cover your flights and hotel points to cover your stay. And with so many options through every major airline alliance — plus a few non-alliance carriers — getting to Hawaii with points and miles is easier than ever.

Can you find cheap hotels in Reykjavik, the capital of Iceland? Well that depends on your definition of “cheap” or “inexpensive” because it’s all relative on this Scandinavian Island. We’ve rounded up some Reykjavik hotels under $200 per night though—some quite a bit lower in the less popular months—that won’t cause as much sticker shock as most places to stay in the city.

The world’s most visited tourist attractions stretch from San Francisco to Paris to Beijing, but they might not be what you expect. For example, Alcatraz doesn’t even make the top 50. The Eiffel Tower only sees about 7 million visitors each year, meaning it doesn't land in the top 20. The Great Wall and the Louvre see a mere 9 million visitors per year, less than a quarter of the crowds the top attraction in the world pulls in. And there's a lot of theme parks.
