Frequently asked questions

How much does a Carthage vacation package cost?
You can snap up a vacation package to this destination on Expedia. However, how much your vacation to Carthage costs will depend on factors like the season, length of stay and hotel choice.
What are the cheapest months to go to Carthage?
If you'd like to snag a cheap Carthage vacation package, consider traveling in January, February and October. You'll usually find better prices on hotels and flights during these quieter months — ideal for a budget-friendly break.
How many days is enough for Carthage?
Carthage vacations come in all shapes and sizes, but to really sink your teeth into this destination, we reckon 2 days is a good ballpark.
