DK Eyewitness Travel Names 15 Best U.S. Cities for a Long Summer Weekend
New York, NY (PRWEB) May 25, 2017 -- DK Eyewitness Travel today released a list of the 15 Best U.S. Cities for a Long Summer Weekend. Chosen by DK’s in-house travel experts, these cities range from college towns boasting UNESCO World Heritage Sites and prestigious wine trails to ski villages open for snow skiing and snow boarding into July. For those eager to make the most of summer, these cities and towns are a must for any traveler’s summer bucket list.
With just 15 weekends between Memorial Day and Labor Day, DK’s experts had their work cut out for them to identify the very best destinations for a long summer weekend. The cities that made the final cut meet the interests of all different types of people, from lakeside loungers (Traverse City, MI) to sunrise-seekers eager to see the first sunrise in the U.S. (Bar Harbor, ME). The list also includes cities just right for festival lovers (Cincinnati), foodies (Asheville, NC) and outdoorsy types (Coeur d’Alene, ID).
“The time is now to plan out summer weekends in order to make the most of every last drop of summer,” said Georgina Dee, publishing director, DK Travel. “Since Labor Day always seems to sneak up on us, marking the unofficial end of summer, we put together a fantastic list of destinations that offers the perfect mix of lakes, beaches, college towns, ski resorts, national parks and urban cities. Each one of these U.S. cities is truly worthy of a long weekend this summer.”
