The Top 10 US Cities For A Staycation This Year
Here Are The Top 10 U.S. Cities For A ‘Staycation’ This Summer. To be honest I am kinder shocked we didn’t have any cities in the Carolinas make the list. We have beaches and mountains. Plus it is all very affordable.
Here are the top 10 thanks to our friends at WalletHub. They say these cities offer recreation, food, entertainment, and relaxation. 10. Tucson, Arizona 9. New Orleans, Louisiana 8. Atlanta, GA 7. San Diego, California 6. Chicago, Illinois 5. Tampa, Florida 4. Las Vegas, Nevada 3. Cincinnati, Ohio 2. Honolulu, Hawaii 1. Orlando, FL .
So it looks like if you want an awesome Staycation spot, live near Mickey at DisneyWorld, and Harry Potter at Universal Studios in Orlando. WalletHub said this city took the top spot due to its variety of activities in the area — amusement parks, water parks, nightlife activities, festivals, zoos, and arcades per capita. The town is also known for having a plethora of diverse, affordable restaurants.
Cassandra Happe and Analyst for Wallethub said, “It’s fun to visit an exotic location on vacation, but during rougher economic times, a staycation can save you a lot of money while being just as memorable. Not only do you avoid the cost of overnight accommodations and minimize travel costs, but you can also discover all kinds of fun activities close to home that you might not have tried out otherwise. Plus, you’ll feel more rested if you spend less time in transit and more time sleeping in your own bed.”
WalletHub researched 182 U.S. cities to find the best staycation spots. Back in 2020, we had a South Carolina city make the top 10 list for staycations. Check it out here.
