The top 7 international destinations to visit while the dollar is strong

Knowing how to time your vacation well and take advantage of favorable exchange rates can save you quite a bit of cash.

Money magazine just announced the winners of its second Best in Travel Awards, which used data-driven methodology to determine the best international destinations for American travelers to visit this year.

The editors considered the 230 most popular travel destinations overseas, based on the amount of hotel nights booked and plane tickets bought, as well as the volume of online searches.

The list is ranked by the overall cost to visit, the number of high-quality amenities, and the drop in year-over-year hotel prices, airfares, and exchange rates. Only one international winner was chosen per global region.

From Asia to Europe, these are the top seven destinations to get the most bang for your buck.
