Clik here to view.In global terms, it’s a great time to be carrying greenbacks. The U.S. dollar’s strength against the euro has been on American travelers’ radar for some time now, enabling them to scoop up economical visits to Europe’s great cosmopolitan centers like Paris and Rome.
But the American buck has been having a rip-roaring time of it against a number of other currencies around the world, as well. As a result, some cities we think of as prohibitively expensive have suddenly become accessible. Here are six major global cities where you currently can go far with your U.S. dollars:
Buenos Aires, Argentina

The currency situation for tourists in Argentina is a little trickier than in some other destinations. The official exchange rate currently stands at just under 10 pesos to the dollar, already pretty favorable. Since the government placed restrictions on Argentines’ ability to obtain foreign currency in 2011, though, an easily accessible black market for greenbacks has emerged in which a dollar will get you more like 15 pesos. In the capital of Buenos Aires, that means a big automatic discount for the city’s world-class hotels, restaurants and cultural attractions. Just make sure you arrive with cash and skip the currency exchanges at the airport.
Mexico City, Mexico

Americans looking for an easy trip to an interesting, sophisticated capital city should head immediately south to Mexico City. The Mexican peso is currently trading at all-time lows against the dollar at the same time that the city is becoming a major dining destination and boasting more museums than almost any other city in the world. A six-course dinner at the world-class restaurant Pujol is $85 including tax—it’s the kind of exquisite, special-occasion tasting menu that in New York City would easily cost $250.
Moscow, Russia

Russia’s currently got an image problem, but if you’re willing to look past its shady dealings on the world stage, now is a fantastic time to visit its capital city of Moscow. The ruble has absolutely tanked against the dollar, turning what in 2008 was the world’s most expensive city into a surprisingly affordable immersive experience. Good seats to the Bolshoi Ballet can currently be had for less than $100 each. Just two years ago they would have cost more like $200.
