For many, a huge appeal for vacation is the chance to wander around city neighborhoods on foot, having a cup of coffee here, browsing through shop racks there, stopping at a bakery, spending a few hours at a museum or art gallery. Sometimes, these pedestrian zones might even be blocked by car traffic, so you freely ramble without needing to look both ways before crossing. Plus, walking is good for health and less expensive than renting a car. While we often go abroad and are charmed by those cobblestoned streets and medieval passages brimming with shops and eateries, we’re often hard-pressed to find these walkable cities in a landscape dotted with strip malls, where “Main Street” is often shuttered. (And while Europe and other parts of the world are covered in rails, making it possible to ditch a car and move about freely via train, our rail system is not yet that comprehensive). But fear not, there are plenty of U.S. cities where pleasant strolling can still happen, according to Smart Growth America and its 2023 Foot Traffic Ahead Report. This study looked at the 35 largest metropolitan areas in the U.S. and ranked them for their walkability.

One of the big draws for traveling is the chance to try different regional cuisines—and let’s be honest, it’s wonderful to have someone else do the cooking! Some travelers appreciate a simple and fast meal, while others want to sit down to linen tablecloths and something very special. For those who prefer the latter and look for a slow round of carefully prepared courses, a new study has determined the top 10 U.S. cities with the most fine dining restaurants. The U.S. boasts more than 4,500 fine dining restaurants, and these cities offer the most for your beautifully shined fork or chopstick. The list, prepared by The Cookie Rookie, pulls from Google keywords as well as Tripadvisor ratings, and its data is correct as of April 2024.

Pizza is important. Nobody can debate this. From being a food that some underaged people will selectively eat as their sole source of nutrition, to the craveable late-night party food for adults, to the slice that you grab in Manhattan and keep going...it’s all beautiful and we thank various deities daily for its existence.

These pizzerias were just named the best in the U.S.

The agonies and patience involved in booking a passport renewal appointment have been passed down in traveler lore.

But here’s great news from the state department: eligible U.S. residents can now renew their passports online. Exhale in relief and grab your phone.

When we travel, sometimes we worry about those stories we hear (or Youtube videos we watch) about pickpockets. We’re buying cross-chest purses so no one can slip the strap off our shoulders, or wearing a fanny pack stomach-side to protect our wallets and our passports. But information is golden when it comes to avoiding the kind of situation that can ruin or at least seriously dampen a vacation. The computer security company McAfee has shared a list of common travel scams so you can keep your eyes open while you’re away from home and vulnerable.

Here are five ways to avoid travel scams, according to experts
