10 Best American Cities to Vacation In
8. Anchorage, Alaska
Proximity to the great outdoors of Alaska is the most obvious reason to visit Anchorage. The city is just a short drive from major hiking spots, ski areas, and national parks, so stretch your legs along the popular Tony Knowles Coastal Trail or cast your line for dinner at salmon-swamped Ship Creek. Don’t be too quick to head out of town; Anchorage hosts numerous fascinating and family-friendly attractions. If you’re an avid museum-goer, make some time for the Alaska Aviation Museum or, if you’ve got little ones in-tow, the Alaska Native Heritage Center is home to interactive exhibits that spotlight Alaska’s history and culture.
Whether it’s the endless daylight of Alaskan summer or the spectacular Aurora Borealis Northern Lights in winter, the largest city of the 49th state has a lot of unique sights to offer to its visitors.
