New York
New York City alone could fill a week — but skip the state and you’ll miss Niagara Falls, the Adirondacks, and the Hudson Valley.
1 Week Trips & Itineraries
Seven-day travel itineraries built for travelers with one week to spend — paced for jet lag, structured around must-sees, with built-in room for the unplanned.
-
-
North Dakota
North Dakota’s night sky alone is worth the detour. Add the Badlands, Teddy Roosevelt’s park, and trails Lewis & Clark once walked.
-
Buenos Aires
El Ateneo Grand Splendid is a bookstore inside a 1920s theater. That detail alone tells you what kind of city Buenos Aires is.
-
-
New Hampshire
New Hampshire packs more into a long weekend than most states manage in a week — fall foliage, White Mountain summits, and a seacoast that actually delivers.
-
Basque Coast
San Sebastián has more Michelin stars per capita than anywhere else on earth. The pintxos bars alone justify the trip.
-
New York City
Manhattan gets the headlines, but the subway drops you into 800 languages and five boroughs worth rearranging your trip for.
-
Piedmont
Alba’s truffle fair runs one week a year. The rest of the time, Piedmont keeps its best things quietly to itself.
-
Tokyo
Shinjuku and Asakusa feel like different cities. That tension between neon and incense is exactly what makes Tokyo worth a week minimum.
-
-
Massachusetts
Boston’s Freedom Trail covers 400 years of American history in a 2.5-mile walk. Massachusetts rewards the curious traveler who goes deeper.
-
South Dakota
West of the Missouri River, South Dakota shifts fast — Great Plains give way to Black Hills forests, canyon walls, and lakes most people never reach.
-
Arches National Park
Delicate Arch at sunset draws a crowd, but the Windows section at dawn is empty, closer, and honestly more impressive.
-
-
Molokai
Molokai has no traffic lights, no high-rises, and no resort strip. That’s the point — and exactly why it feels like Hawaii used to.
-
Norwegian Fjords
Nærøyfjord is so narrow the ferry nearly grazes the cliff walls. No photo prepares you for the scale of it.
-
Wisconsin
Wisconsin’s supper clubs, frozen custard stands, and Lake Michigan shoreline don’t get enough credit. This state rewards the curious traveler.
-
Georgia
Atlanta and Savannah get the attention, but Jekyll Island and Providence Canyon are why Georgia stays on my list.
-
Triglav National Park
Lake Bohinj gets a fraction of Bled’s crowds and delivers twice the scenery. Triglav’s real draw is what surrounds it.
-
Louisiana
Louisiana hits differently when you eat your way through it — boudin in Breaux Bridge, then a swamp tour before dark.
-
-
-
Cayman Islands
Stingray City is the tourist trap that actually delivers. The wall dives off Little Cayman, though — that’s what serious divers fly here for.
