These Are the Top Cities for Staycations – See If Your City Made the List
Have you ever thought of using your time off from work for a staycation? This is when you don’t actually go anywhere on vacation, but you instead take time off and enjoy your city/area. Staycations are gaining popularity in recent years. As expected, some cities are much better than others for staycations.
If your city doesn’t have much to offer, then that probably isn’t going to be the best city to staycation in. WalletHub has created a master list of the 182 best cities for staycations. The determining factors in recreation, food & drink, and rest & relaxation for this consideration.
Interestingly enough the #1 city is also a city that sees roughly 68 million tourists every year. Orlando, Florida is the top city for staycations. When you think of all of the recreation and dining opportunities in Orlando, is it really surprising? There’s Walt Disney World, Universal Orlando, SeaWorld, and so much more. All of these are perfect fun for the family places to visit for the day/week.
The #2 spot on the list is Honolulu, Hawaii. If you lived here, why would you ever leave? The view alone is reason enough to stay put 365 days a year.
