Top 10 US Cities I Want to Visit

This post contains affiliate links.

I don’t know about you but I am constantly making lists in my head all the time. I am so OCD it’s unreal, LOL!! I have lists of groceries, things I need to do, blog posts I want to write, and places I want to go! Oh the places I want to go… #DrSeuss

Today I wanted to share one of those lists with you…my top 10 US Cities I want to visit!! I have a goal to see every one of the 50 states and I have made pretty good progress but there are a few cities in states I want to visit that I never have and as you can see I have a lot of states left, but I think I’m about halfway there??


This list is on no particular order, I just put them on here as I thought of them. I hope you enjoy and leaner a little bit more about me…

New Orleans. My family lives about 2 miles from the Louisiana state line so I have been to Louisiana about a million times but I have never been to the southern part of the state! I have always wanted to go to New Orleans but I think will be more of a fall trip?? I want to walk on Bourbon Street, eat beignets and drink cafe’ au lait at Café du Monde, I want to ride on a streetcar, and I want to visit a haunted cemetery.

Charleston. I have been obsessed with Charleston for about as long as I can remember. I have read a lot of books that were based there and I am almost ashamed to admit that I love the show Southern Charm. I think it is a city rich in southern history and fabulous architecture and I want to go soooo bad!!

Savannah. I have wanted to go to Savannah for as long as I can remember. It is also a city rich in southern history and charm and I heard it was haunted!! It is also close to Tybee Island, another city I want to go to!! I would love to go and eat at Lady and Sons and walk around the gorgeous parks. One day…

Chicago. I have been looking at taking a Chicago trip for a while now…it is actually not too far away by train and I have been dying to take a train trip!! I think I want to do Chicago in the summer and I want to see a show while I am there. I also want to see a Cubs game at Wrigley Field and see the Skydeck! I say see the sky deck because I think I would be too scared to actually step on it. LOL!

St. Louis. St. Louis actually isn’t too far from me!! I want to go see the arch and tour the Budweiser Brewery!! I would also love to go to the City Museum because I have heard it is amazing!!

Salt Lake City. I have always heard great things about SLC, doesn’t this pic just make it look magical??

Maui. I want to go to the beach!!! This would definitely be a winter destination since that is when I most need the beach and really I would love to go to any of the Hawaiian islands but I have always heard amazing things about Maui!

Orlando. I have been to Florida multiple times but have never been to Disney World. I am probably the biggest Disney fan who has never been to any Disney park. Ugh. I want to go sooooo bad!! One day! And let’s be real, I will probably go to Universal while I am in town and see Harry Potter too.

Seattle. I am about to go complete white girl on you and tell you one of the main reasons I want to go to Seattle is to go to Pike Place and see the very first Starbucks. I also want to see the Space Needle and let my inner Grey’s Anatomy fan girl nerd out. Just saying…

Los Angeles. LA…where dreams are made. Or something like that. I really just want to go and see movie stars!! HA!! But really though…

So that is my list of the top 10 US cities I want to see!!

    I was in Savannah for the first time last summer and LOVED it. I can’t wait to get back there someday.

    We are saving to go to Maui this summer and I am hoping we can get the money together to do it! There are SO many places to check out that I don’t think one life time will get me everywhere I want to go.

    I might be biased as a Georgia girl, but I think Savannah is the most beautiful city in the country. I’ve never found another city to match it.

    I happen to agree with above about Savannah. I live in Georgia and when I go anywhere, it’s either Savannah or Helen. I love both equally but for different reasons.
