Undiscovered places, important events and tumbling foreign currencies helped define Budget Travel Magazine's list of the top 10 budget destinations for 2009.
Austin, Texas, made the list as a venue for affordable and free cultural events like the annual South By Southwest festival. Washington was included because of the inauguration, but also because so many of the museums and monuments are free to visit.
