Amazing Cities in the US to Take a Home Vacation
Rest and recreation does not always have to mean traveling to the other side of the world. Although the idea sounds very tempting, there are times when you just need to take a short break from the hustle and bustle of the city. It doesn’t have to be a remote location either; a brief and temporary change of environment will do the trick.
Have you ever had a stay? The United States is filled with hundreds of friendly cities for home vacations. We’ve rounded up some of our favorites to help you choose the destination where you can spend 3-5 days to reset, relax and rejuvenate.
The Vegas, Nevada. Need we say more? A few nights in Sin City is definitely one of the best ways to have a vacation back home. They have some of the world’s luxury hotels. If your idea of a stay is mostly about getting a massage, calling room service to order food, or just staying home, then you’re in the right place. However, if you have something else in mind, such as trying your luck at the casino, Las Vegas surely won’t disappoint!
Tampa, FL. For most people, a Tampa vacation means soaking up the sun and hitting the beach. That’s a great way to spend a few days in the city because Tampa’s beaches are some of the best the United States has to offer. Not in the mood for swimming or sunbathing? That’s perfectly fine because it just means you have more time to sample Tampa’s amazing restaurants. Most of them are located in Tampa Bay, so if you’re up for some great food, we recommend making the bay your first stop.
Portland, Oregon. If you want the complete package: food, fun, rest and recreation, Portland, Oregon is definitely a good choice. Find culinary gems at the city’s food carts, exercise your legs and ride your bikes along its bike-friendly street (while you’re at it, tour some of the city’s original neighborhoods), or reconnect with nature and walk through some of Oregon’s iconic trails. Fair warning, though, if you have any future Oregon vacation plans: prepare to fall in love with the city you may want to move to!
Birmingham, Alabama. One of the best reasons why Birmingham is one of the best places to spend a stay-at-home holiday is because it is so low-key that it’s easy to miss. For example, you can attend one of the free fitness classes at Railroad Park like a true local. There are also many corners around the city that could be a perfect place to catch up on your reading list over a cup of Birmingham coffee.
Whichever city you stay in, you’re sure to find a luxury hotel that suits your needs and feels like home. Bring out your inner tourist and don’t miss a moment to refresh and recharge!
