Traveling can be a challenge, especially as you age. Ideally, seniors seek destinations that are accessible and affordable. The Travel Bucketlist on MSN put together a list of underrated cities here in the United States that offer an opportunity to “unwind, explore, and create lasting memories.”
Senior travelers looking for relaxation, culture, and light adventure might want to visit:
St. Augustine, Florida – The oldest city in America is perfect for history lovers looking for a relaxing getaway. Stroll down cobblestone streets, surrounded by Spanish colonial architecture, or explore interesting sites such as the Castillo de San Marcos.
Door County, Wisconsin – Known for its “charming villages, vibrant cherry orchards, and breathtaking shoreline,” seniors can enjoy leisurely drives, serene settings, and peaceful escapes.
Santa Fe, New Mexico – Stunning landscapes and rich cultural heritage make this Southwestern city a must-see for seniors. Highlights include a vibrant art scene, historic landmarks such as the Santa Fe Plaza, and nature at its best. Be sure to visit the Sangre de Cristo Mountains for their beautiful vistas and easily walkable trails.
Asheville, North Carolina – This charming city in the Blue Ridge Mountains offers a mix of “culture and tranquility.” Enjoy scenic drives and leisurely hikes in the mountains, or explore the vibrant arts scene known for farm-to-table restaurants. Asheville is also home to The Biltmore Estate, America’s largest home.
Mackinac Island, Michigan – Step back in time with a visit to this beautiful island destination, where horse-drawn carriages and bicycles are the main modes of transportation. An overnight stay may be out of your budget, but no visit is complete without a stop at the iconic Grand Hotel.
