WalletHub has released a report ranking the best U.S. winter vacation destinations based on cost, convenience, and various factors such as safety and available activities. For cold-weather destinations, Atlanta tops the list due to its relatively mild climate and array of restaurants and activities, followed by New York and Washington, D.C., which offers a quieter, more accessible city experience during winter. On the warm-weather front, Las Vegas leads with affordable accommodation and a vibrant city atmosphere, followed by San Diego, Dallas, and Austin. Denver ranks seventh for cold-weather vacations, noted for travel costs and attractions, although it ranks low on safety. The report analyzed 70 metro areas using 37 metrics to determine these rankings, revealing that flights to cold destinations average $285, whereas warm destinations cost around $364. This study provides travelers with realistic, budget-friendly options for both cold and warm winter getaways.
