Inspired by the laid-back vibes of Jimmy Buffett's "Come Monday," we at Come Monday Travel believe that planning your perfect getaway should be as stress-free and worry-free as the vacation itself. While we're your go-to experts for dreamy Caribbean cruises and all-inclusive resort escapes, we're also passionate about showcasing the incredible beauty and diversity right here in our own backyard through our special "Explore America" program.
And just in time for summer, a recent report from Tripadvisor, highlighted by Celia Fernandez on May 26, 2025, reveals what American travelers are craving: a perfect blend of exhilarating city experiences and relaxing beachside bliss. This resonates perfectly with the spirit of our Explore America initiative!
According to the report, which surveyed over 2,800 consumers and analyzed countless traveler searches, the top domestic summer destinations are a fantastic mix of iconic urban centers and sun-drenched coastal havens. It's clear that whether you're seeking the bright lights of a bustling metropolis or the calming rhythm of ocean waves, the U.S. has it all.
It's no surprise that the Sunshine State, Florida, boasts three cities on the list. As Hilary Fischer-Groban, Senior Director of Global Brand, Insights and Comms at Tripadvisor, notes, Florida offers a year-long appeal with its world-class theme parks, stunning beaches, and diverse opportunities for exploration. From vibrant cities to serene natural escapes, Florida truly offers "different ways to connect."
But while Florida shines, the number one spot goes to a timeless classic: Las Vegas, Nevada! Fischer-Groban perfectly sums it up: "Vegas is a classic. What happens in Vegas does not stay in Vegas because people write a ton of reviews and have a lot to say." This city is a magnet for group trips and offers a dazzling array of attractions, from the iconic Fountains of Bellagio to the revolutionary Sphere and the endless excitement of the Las Vegas Strip. And the adventure doesn't stop there; "Sin City" is also a fantastic base for exploring natural wonders like the Grand Canyon and the Hoover Dam.
Rounding out the top 10, according to Tripadvisor, are:
- Las Vegas, Nev.
- New York City, N.Y.
- Myrtle Beach, S.C.
- Ocean City, Md.
- Chicago, Ill.
- Honolulu, Hawaii
- Panama City Beach, Fla.
- Key West, Fla.
- Clearwater, Fla.
- Nashville, Tenn.
