It’s never too early to plan ahead! 2023 sounds like it’s still a ways away, but when it comes to booking holidays and ensuring you have time off of work, the time to start planning your holidays is now! If you’re planning to holiday in the US, here are some of the best places to travel in 2023.

New York City

The Big Apple is a go-to destination for most visitors to the United States, and with good reason. New York City is a vibrant metropolis that offers something for everybody. Visitors can explore world-class museums, buy designer clothes on Fifth Avenue, get lost in Central Park, or dine at one of many Michelin Star restaurants. And don't forget about Broadway: it's impossible to leave without catching a show in this famed theater district. Another popular attraction is the Statue of Liberty, which is best seen from Battery Park on the southern tip of Manhattan Island. Wherever you choose to explore, there are plenty of ways to see all that NYC has to offer—by foot or via public transportation. If you're up for an adventure, rent bikes and ride across the Brooklyn Bridge into Brooklyn Heights. For a more relaxing way to experience NYC, take the Staten Island Ferry out to Staten Island; once there, take in views of Lower Manhattan while exploring Historic Richmond Town. From here it's just a quick bus ride back into Manhattan if you want to head straight back downtown. But even better is a visit to Coney Island! Take the D train down to Stillwell Ave and hop on the Q13 Bus towards Coney Island. There's so much fun to be had at these classic beachside amusement parks! Get ready for cotton candy, rides, fried food galore and some of the greatest people watching in America.

Orlando, Florida

Orlando is a great holiday destination in Florida, where you will find amusement parks, natural beauty and a thriving arts scene. With Walt Disney World Resort, Universal Studios Florida, SeaWorld Orlando and LEGOLAND Florida on your doorstep and tons of family-friendly attractions to choose from, it's easy to fill your stay with fun memories that will last a lifetime. What is a good budget for a vacation? For example, if you want to visit Orlando this winter but are concerned about the cost of flights and accommodation, consider booking a package including these two components. A one-night hotel stay plus two days of tickets at an attraction such as Walt Disney World Resort can cost less than $300 per person! Travel expenses have gone up, so it’s important to make sure you have enough funds set aside before making plans.

A total average daily cost of less than $150 is typically considered affordable when traveling within the United States. It all depends on what kind of vacation experience you're looking for. If you're willing to do some research ahead of time and book packages rather than individual items like plane tickets or accommodations separately (which often come at higher prices), then a relaxing getaway might be well worth it! Wherever you end up going, there will be something for everyone. Orlando offers everything from world-class theme parks to peaceful nature reserves; Cape Cod features serene beaches and wildlife safaris. Have a wonderful break!

Los Angeles, California

Los Angeles is a great place to visit because it offers so many things to do. Whether you are looking to explore or relax, there are plenty of activities that you can take part in. One thing that Los Angeles is famous for is its beaches. There are many destinations that offer some amazing views and beautiful scenery, but few can compare with the beaches of Los Angeles. If you are looking to get away from it all and just enjoy your time by the water, then this is definitely a place worth checking out! For those who would rather spend their time exploring, then Los Angeles has something for you as well. From Hollywood to Venice Beach, Los Angeles has an eclectic mix of attractions that should satisfy most people's needs. No matter where you go, you'll be able to find great food and drink that will keep you coming back for more. It's not hard to see why Los Angeles is such a popular tourist destination: there really is something for everyone!

Maui, Hawaii

Maui is a great destination because it has something to offer everyone. There's snorkeling, hiking, zip lining, surfing and more. Plus, this beautiful island isn't too crowded, so you'll have plenty of space to explore. The average daily temperature is 73 degrees Fahrenheit year-round and the cost of living is low. This makes Maui an excellent choice if you're looking for a tropical getaway that won't break your budget. It also happens to be one of the safest places to travel with its extremely low crime rate. And while vacations might not always be worth the money, they're always worth it when you go on vacation at some point. A good budget for a vacation should include things like accommodations, food and activities. So where do you want to go? Would you rather stay local or explore another country? What about safety? If safety is what you're concerned about then head over to Maui, Hawaii where the crime rates are virtually nonexistent.

Boston, Massachusetts

Boston is an excellent place to visit, with its historic sites, rich culture and delicious food. A trip to Boston is sure to be worth your money! The city has a variety of different tourist attractions and places of interest that will provide something for everyone. From museums and galleries to gardens and parks, Boston has it all. If you're looking for a more active vacation, you can take part in one of the many sporting events or go on a shopping spree at one of the many local stores. For those who want a quieter vacation, Boston offers opportunities to get lost in history and some of America's most renowned literature. For travelers on a budget, the Freedom Trail (a two mile path leading through Boston) is free and provides information about historical landmarks throughout the city. Best of all? It's completely doable as there are tours offered by both foot and bike where you'll learn about what life was like during Colonial times.

San Francisco, California

San Francisco is a beautiful city with many attractions, such as Golden Gate Park, Fisherman's Wharf, and Chinatown. You can also take a cable car ride up to Coit Tower to enjoy sweeping views of the city and bay. As an added bonus, San Francisco has some of the best restaurants in the world! In terms of budgeting, it’s worth it to spend more money on your trip if you can afford it because you’ll have better memories that last longer than anything else. Whether you're traveling now or in the future, always make sure to read reviews of different hotels before booking your stay so that you know what kind of amenities are available and how far away from attractions it is.

Yellowstone National Park, Wyoming

Yellowstone National Park is one of the few places where you can see both American bison and grizzly bears. It also has an abundant amount of geysers, hot springs, and mud pots. The park was established 1872 as America's first national park and is a UNESCO world heritage site. In addition to its wildlife populations, it is famous for its spectacular geothermal features and extensive hydrothermal activity which covers much of the park. While the Yellowstone National Park may be expensive to visit, it is well worth the money when you consider what an experience it will give you! Many people feel that this is the best place to go on holiday now because it offers so many different activities. If safety is your concern, then Yellowstone National Park would be a good destination because there are no wars or other conflicts taking place in this area right now.

Washington, D.C.

The capital of the United States is not only a powerhouse of culture, history and business but is also home to some of the best hotels and restaurants in the country. In addition to being a great place to visit, Washington DC offers tax advantages to people who live there. There are many ways to experience this city that range from walking tours through historic neighborhoods, visiting the museums, or experiencing all that this diverse city has to offer by bike. If you are looking for more of an upscale experience with luxury hotels, dining and attractions without breaking the bank then Washington DC might be right up your alley! There are always a lot of questions about whether vacations are worth the money. With inflation, time off work, travel costs and hotel rates going up year after year it’s hard to know where you should invest your vacation budget.

Las Vegas, Nevada

Las Vegas is a great place to vacation. It has a lot of hotels and casinos, meaning it's easy to find one with a good deal. The weather is mostly sunny and warm, so this is a great destination if you're looking for somewhere to go now. Las Vegas also has some of the best shopping, dining and entertainment options on offer, so this is definitely worth considering if you want somewhere safe to visit in 2023. In terms of what kind of budget to expect, this really depends on where you are coming from and what your standards are. However, there are some bargain-basement prices out there - around $500 per night - that can suit anyone's budget.

Wherever you choose to holiday in 2023, just make sure that safety is not an issue for you as holidays can be wonderful but sometimes things happen which could ruin them.
