For this list, we're looking at some of
america's most vibrant culturally rich
trendy and appealing cities which would
make for a great travel destination
in 2021 number 10 st
Louis, it might not crack the top 10 on
the bucket list of many travelers but st
Louis is a woefully underrated American
city
we'd like to rectify that st Louis isn't
Missouri largest city or its capital
but when it comes to culture
startups and bold new initiatives to
improve the overall quality of life
this is the state's crown jewel st
Louise's architecture speaks for itself
the iconic gateway arch frames a city
skyline made up of diverse
influences including the French colonial
modern german
and early American architectural styles
history buffs are sure to appreciate the
city's many landmarks like the old
courthouse while the botanical gardens
rank among the country's oldest
but for all its history st Louis has
most recently defined itself as a modern
forward-thinking and thoroughly vibrant
city art
music international food nightlife bar
culture
this is a city firing on all cylinders
without compromising its local character
number 9 Honolulu why is it that whenever
ranking America's top cities the
discussion is often limited to the
mainland states
in all fairness for all its natural
beauty and utterly unique experiences
anchorage Alaska does seem an unlikely
candidate
Honolulu on the other hand feels long
overdue
the largest city of Hawaii and the
state's capital Honolulu is located on
the southeast coast of the island of
Oahu
what other city in America boasts such
picturesque ocean views and breathtaking
sunsets
as far as beach cities go Honolulu has
few American rivals
but it's more than just a beach getaway
a major economic hub
Honolulu is a melting pot of various
cultures including the island's
traditional Polynesian heritage the
mainland united states
and beyond culinary speaking local
ingredients remain
front and center but there's heavy Asian
and Portuguese influence
add to that the surrounding natural
the beauty of this lush volcanic island and
this city is truly
one of a kind number eight Boston
a consistently popular destination city
Boston hasn't lost
any of its inherent appeal heading into
2021 the state capital of Massachusetts
offers a compelling blend of history and
modern touches
the city dates back to the early 1600s
and paired with its later rich Irish
heritage
there's a real sense of pride that
permeates the city
Boston is the sort of destination where
attending a sporting event is all but
mandatory as
is a trip to an Irish pub and a sampling
of the port city's much
celebrated seafood for the best of both
worlds consider making the trip in
august when baseball season is in full
swing and the city hosts an annual
seafood festival
of course, Boston doesn't crack the top
10 on these old staples alone
the last decade has seen the city
undergoing a renaissance of sorts
young entrepreneurs are breathing new
life into all aspects of the city from
the food and the bar scene to shopping
and tech
making it more exciting than ever number
7.
new Orleans mention this Louisiana city
and it invariably conjures up images of
the french quarter
likely with mardi gras festivals in full
swing
while that sort of party atmosphere
might appeal to some many a traveler has
made the journey only to be thoroughly
disappointed upon arriving
the architecture lives up to the hype
but you're hard-pressed to find a bar or
the restaurant that isn't a tourist trap
the key to a great new Orleans
experience is perhaps just to spend a
few hours in the french quarter
the city as a whole is true to its
reputation incredibly rich when it comes
to food history and music
you just need to know where to go to
find authentic versions of all of the
above
the garden district is absolutely
stunning and the Marigny district is
where you'll find
arguably the highest concentration of
great music venues
Xtreme mid-city the warehouse district
new Orleans has many sides to discover
number six san Francisco if there's one
city you can trust to consistently make
a list of this kind
it's san Francisco though it might not
crack our top five for 2021
it remains as reliably enjoyable of a
destination as
ever with its numerous green initiatives
and city-wide commitments to waste
reduction
including an ambitious composting system
it's the sort of city that you can feel
good about visiting
a breathtaking metropolis built over a
distinctly hilly landscape the rise and
fall of streets make it a city of
countless views just waiting to be
discovered
a warm and welcoming city san fran is
known for its friendly locals and
proudly LGBTQ plus history
and it's the sort of place where one
immediately feels at home
from food and fashion to tech design and
beyond
san Francisco is always on the cutting
edge making it the perfect getaway for
any
modern traveler number 5 Minneapolis
as with st Louis and numerous other
cities on this list
this is a place that we heard a lot
about in 2020
Minneapolis became ground zero for
protests that swept the nation and later
the globe
forcing a larger crucial reckoning with
institutional racism and police
accountability
in terms of tourism and travel this
the midwestern city has been on the rise
culturally speaking over the last few
years
its parks are world-class while the
walker art museum and Guthrie theater
bring the culture
it's also distinguished itself as a must
visit for foodies with numerous James
beard recognized establishments
add to that the food halls craft
breweries and taprooms
the iconic first avenue music venue and
vibrant nightlife in
general and you've got one of America's
most exciting cities
number four Los Angeles la is one of
those cities that some people
love to hate the thing is the vast
majority of travelers who have had a bad
time in Los Angeles
are likely just going about it all wrong
staring at the Hollywood sign and
traipsing along the walk of fame is sure
to leave even the most resilient of
tourists feeling bored and burnt out
forget about celebrity sightings and bus
tours however and you'll soon come to
appreciate
an entirely different side of the city
highland park
Los Feliz echo park silver lake these
are the neighborhoods that you want to
be exploring
whether you're just window shopping or
looking to bring home something by which
to remember your trip
amiibo records Ooga Booga and other wild
are just a few of the coolest shops to
peruse
after a big night sampling cocktails
from the city's many speakeasies and
secret bars
why not get some exercise hiking Runyon
canyon alongside the locals and their
four-legged companions
number three charleston and savannah for
the third place entry we thought we'd
bend the rules and do something a little
different
though these two cities are indifferent
states were given that there's less than 85
miles between them traveling to one
almost always involves a date trip to
the other
when discussing the most charming and or
historic cities that feel emblematic of
the south
these two are always the top contenders
but why fight
both cities boast breathtaking historic
districts
in charleston the battery and rainbow
row are the highlights while savannah's
22 town squares tend to not only be
surrounded by remarkable architecture
but are also gorgeous green spaces in
their own right
in terms of overall ambiance charleston
tends to be a bit more self-serious with
an abundance of art galleries and
high-end culinary offerings
savannah for its part is an
art-centric university town
is famous for its nightlife and is more
youthful
number 2. Chicago when we say Chicago
what comes to mind
Kanye west the bulls the cubs and deep
dish pizza
if so allow us to reintroduce you to one
of the very coolest cities in America
as many travelers have been realizing in
In recent years Chicago is on the cutting
edge of everything from food and fashion
to art and architecture
as well as everything in between with a
whopping 77 neighborhoods to explore
each with their own unique flavor this
is a city that demands repeat visits
beer lovers, in particular, are sure to
fall head over heels in love with the
city
given that it has distinguished itself
as one of the country's leading craft
brewing scenes
foodies considering the number of
celebrity and up-and-coming chefs that
call Chicago home
you'll want to start saving up
modern-day Chicago really needs to be
explored first-hand to be fully
appreciated
number one new york city with its
numerous iconic landmarks
rich history and prominence in pop
culture the big apple has long been
america's most popular city destination
both domestically and with international
travelers
while first-time visitors will want to
check off the bucket list attractions
that's really just the tip of the
the iceberg of what NYC has to offer
reputation doesn't earn this city our
top spot but rather it's
multiculturalism
and the fact that no matter how many
times you visit you're always sure to
uncover some new hidden gem
be it a bar-restaurant park or boutique
new york city also benefits from
essentially being two cities in one
Brooklyn is so densely packed with
on-trend establishments
that you can easily spend an entire trip
on the other side of the east river
