Finding the best destination for summer travel is indeed important and when you look for one, it isn't just the place that would matter but of course its affordability and if it has everything that you want to experience for the summer.
If you are planning to travel around Canada, Mexico, the U.S. and Caribbean, here are some best cities that you can visit based on a list by Lonely Planet.
1. Austin, Texas. Aside from the summer music festival in the city, there are also many other live music events in it that are very affordable. When in Austin, make sure to check the Tex-Mex food in here with a margarita. Austin is also part of the list from Telegraph.
2. Birmingham, Alabama. Birmingham is considered as one of the most unexpectedly exciting places to see in the U.S. For those who love history, they can visit the Civil Rights District while those who are music-lovers can explore the Alabama jazz Hall of Fame. If want to get some food, there are many great dining spots like barbecue at Saw’s. There’s also a 24-hour bar that is filled with comic book art and Star Wars memorabilia.
3. Boulder, Colorado. People who love the outdoors will surely love to travel in the area that features parks like the Rocky Mountain National Park. One can also go to the pedestrian-only Pearl Street Mall for shops and cafes. For night life, there are many places to visit like the Mountain Sun Pub & Brewery.
4. Dominica. When you are in the area, you can swim in Titou Gorge that ends in a waterfall or maybe try to snorkel through geothermal bubbles in the Champagne Reef or just soak in a sulphur hot spring. Dominica, an island in the Caribbean, will also allow you to cruise the Indian River for $5.
5. Havana, Cuba. Getting to Havana may not be easy but it is worth it. To save money, you can stay at casas or private home stays that cost between $15 and $50 a night. You can also visit the seaside wall that is known as the Malecon to socialize with locals. Your trip will not be complete if you will not visit the Havana Club.
6. Jacksonville, Florida. The place which is located on St. John’s River is considered a hidden gem by Forbes since it is packed with attractions. It also has walkable neighborhoods like Five Points and San Marco that are home to numerous bars, boutiques and bistros.
7. Las Vegas, Nevada. According to Alexander Howard, the Western U.S. and Canada Destination Editor for Lonely Planet, it is better to stay in a hotel than a rental especially on weeks when the rates are low. Aside from some games at the Palms, MGM Grand, you can also check out Hard Rock Café’s rock memorabilia or explore the City Center complex and the Aria casino.
