While there are endless possibilities of trendy hotspots to visit in the U.S. during the summer vacation season, the country has plenty of smaller, lesser-known gems that are equally worth exploring. Here are The Onion’s top 10 most underrated vacation destinations in the United States.
Pittsburgh, PA:
If you think of Pittsburgh as an old Rust Belt city, then you haven’t been here since it was completely power-washed in the late 2000s.
Indianapolis, IN:
No city offers visitors a renewed appreciation for their own hometown like Indianapolis.
Cleveland, OH:
This oft-overlooked gem on the shore of Lake Erie offers the unbeatable thrill of nearly 400,000 residents insisting in unison that their city is underrated.
Fort Worth, TX:
Fort Worth has been working really hard on their downtown and it would really mean a lot to them if you would go pay it a visit.
The Grand Canyon:
Wait until you hear about this place.
Albany, NY:
All the razzle dazzle of Syracuse combined with the natural beauty of Poughkeepsie.
Pierre, SD:
Or wait, is Pierre in North Dakota? Either way, it doesn’t really matter.
Madison, WI:
With an abundance of independent bookstores, dive bars, and hip coffeeshops, this quiet central Wisconsin city could be easily mistaken for any other college town.
Clewiston, FL:
Stacy lives there now.
Davenport, IA:
There’s a rest stop up here unless you can hold it until we get to Muscatine.
