The best US
cities for some winter sun
Dreading the
chill this winter? Here’s our pick of the warmest US cities for an
activity-packed winter sun escape…
Orlando
When the UK’s
temperature slides into single figures, you can’t go wrong with a holiday to Orlando.
Florida’s fun capital boasts 250 days of sun a year and activities to suit
everyone – from thrilling theme parks and quirky museums to escapades across
the Everglades. Winter is dry season in Florida so you’ll skip the summer
downpours, and it’s quieter so you can enjoy a crowd-free experience. Win-win! Top
picks include LEGOLAND® for family fun and Kennedy Space Centre for an out-of-this-world experience.
Miami
Beat the
winter blues in Miami where a buzzing beach scene and colourful Art Deco
buildings will brighten your day. There are plenty of ways to explore this
lively city – take a bike tour around Miami Beach or enjoy a guided walk around
the art district. You can even take a salsa lesson and get fully acquainted with Cuban
culture. With the mercury hovering in the mid-20s, winter is the perfect time
to hit the water, so try your hand at kayaking, test your balance on a paddleboard
or join a glass-bottom boat trip.
Los
Angeles
Head to
Hollywood and you’ll see the sun and the stars at the same time. Only in LA can
you enjoy year-round warm weather and rub shoulders with the rich and famous.
If you’re a film buff, don’t miss the chance to join a Warner Bros. Studio Tour or snap selfies on movie sets at Universal Studios Hollywood. Experience LA’s beach scene by roller-skating
across Santa Monica Pier, biking around the Venice canals or taking a relaxing yoga class on the sand. And tick off a big
bucket list item by joining a guided walk up the Hollywood hills and seeing that
famous sign up close.
Oahu
Warm up this
winter with a once-in-a-lifetime trip to Oahu. This Hawaiian island serves up
lush landscapes, dramatic volcanic backdrops, silvery stretches of sand and
activities you won’t find anywhere else. Get immersed in Polynesian culture by
experiencing a traditional Luau or crafting your very own Hawaiian Lei. Or, learn all about Hawaiian
history with a visit to Pearl Harbour and its historic sites. Round off
your trip by getting a taste of island life with snorkelling, paddleboarding and shoreline fishing trips. Bliss!

activities (and more!) are available on Go City’s All-Inclusive Pass and
