Visitors can explore interesting spots, such as the popular Faneuil Hall marketplace with a wide range of locally produced goods. Remember to stop at Quincy Market for a nice meal while you’re wandering the marketplace.

Fort Lauderdale

This beautiful city is located in Florida. Therefore, if you are looking for a warm location to visit in the U.S., this place is perfect for you. No matter at which season you decide to visit Fort Lauderdale, the temperature will never drop below 65 °F. It is suggested that travelers might want to visit this city between late November to May to skip rain and thunderstorms, and rather enjoy warm and safe weather.

The city is famous for its breathtaking nature scene, which you can check out yourself by visiting Hugh Taylor Birch State Park which is conveniently located right in the middle of the city. Entry to this park is completely free! If you don’t feel like just walking, you can also go swimming, fishing or even canoeing.

Miami

Another city in our list which is located in the Sunshine State, is famous worldwide for its beaches, food, and music. There is so much to do in Miami, though for a day trip, you can choose to visit the most iconic beaches and other places listed below.

South Beach, probably the most popular beach in the state, is worth visiting, though if you feel like avoiding big crowds you can instead opt for Sunny Isles Beach. Which is not as touristy as South Beach therefore it might be a better choice for a one-day type of trip where you want to experience the most out of the little time you have in the city.

In the evening try out different restaurants, bars, or nightclubs in downtown Miami. The main street in downtown Miami is Ocean Drive, where you can find Art Deco-style restaurants, bars, and hotels at varying price points.

Each spring, the city, also known as the “Big Easy” holds the world’s most famous annual Mardi Gras event, which is famed for its colorful parade floats and party atmosphere.
