North American is a massive continent, but most people tend to only think that the US is part of it. Similarly, if you plan on visiting North America, you typically opt for some of the more obvious tourist spots. US cities like New York, Miami, and Las Vegas always top your lists. But, did you know there are so many other amazing places for you to visit? The more you explore this continent, the more you realize just how amazing it truly is.Â
As such, here are the top three places to visit in North America that are severely underrated:
Solvang, California
Usually, a trip to California will see you land in either LA, San Diego, or San Francisco. However, there are loads of hidden gems dotted around the west coast of the US. Solvang is one of them, and this charming little village is so unique. Your immigration lawyer might be confused when you ask for a US visa but show them pictures of where you want to go, as it looks like a Scandinavian town.
That’s actually the whole point, Solvang is a Danish village with loads of things to do and see. The buildings are so beautiful, the activities are endless, and you can get a taste of Denmark with the Californian climate. Few people know about this city, which is why it’s so underrated.Â
Quebec City, Quebec
We travel north for this one, crossing the border and entering Canada. Unlike the previous entry, Quebec City is relatively well-known throughout the world. Still, it’s a criminally underrated travel destination, often overlooked for some of the bigger US cities. The main attraction of Quebec City is the actual city itself and the architecture throughout. It is one of the most attractive and gorgeous places on planet earth. Honestly, the buildings are so photographic, and there are loads of amazing sightseeing places to visit. It’s full of history and culture as well, which adds to the intrigue this city brings. Plus, the people are super-friendly, and you get to hear the lovely French language!
Wailea, Hawaii
Don’t forget about the gorgeous island of Hawaii when choosing your North American travel spots. Again, it’s usually overlooked for more ‘trendy’ places – like Honolulu. However, Wailea is a phenomenal place to visit, boasting crescent-shaped beaches and a stunning golf course. It’s packed full of luxury resorts as well, meaning there’s no shortage of stylish places to stay. You’re surrounded by beautiful nature here, and the Ahihi-Kinau Natural Area Reserve is an absolute must-see destination. If you’re hoping for more of a beach holiday where you can relax and enjoy excellent weather and beaches, this is definitely a spot for you.Â
Have you ever considered going to any of these places before? It goes to show just how diverse North America is, and how many amazing hidden gems it boasts. The best thing about this selection is that you have a very eclectic mix. There’s a big city to explore, a small hidden village, and a tropical island destination. Choose whichever option suits your holiday goals the best!
