“In 2021, TripIt surveyed more than 3,200 users in the U.S. to find out where they plan to travel post-pandemic. Respondents overwhelmingly came to the same conclusion: They want to go to Europe, but if that can’t happen, they’ll take a domestic holiday in the U.S. But Travel + Leisure Magazine has some good news for both them and you. This isn’t an either-or scenario, as there are, in fact, plenty of cities sprinkled across the U.S. that will make any tourist feel like they’ve hopped aboard a transatlantic flight for a very European vacation.” Experience Spanish-influenced St. Augustine, which is the country’s oldest city or enjoy the French-inspired countryside from New England.
