1. Boston. Before the Big Dig burrow, driving into Boston was a nightmare. Presently, it's somewhat less of a nightmare. Driving into Boston isn't for the weak of heart, yet taking your car into the city is probably the speediest way to see the city. Parking isn't always copious, however the sights are. Have a go at eating in the famous North End, taking a Boston Harbor Islands voyage, or walk the famous Freedom Trail of historic destinations in the city.
2. Seattle. This city was created in view of driving. Not at all like many of the more established urban areas on the east coast that fall casualty to ineffectively laid out highways, Seattle has a phenomenal highway framework to get in and out of the city. Like any major city, you'll have some traffic, yet it's easy alongside traffic in New York or LA. Highlights of Seattle include Pike's Place fish market, the Space Needle, and sightseeing travels through the Seattle Locks.
3. San Diego. California's southernmost major city fairs a tiny bit superior to anything it's city to the north, Los Angeles. Yes, the I-5, I-8, I-15, and I-805 all join within San Diego city limits, however the 8 lane highways are sufficiently huge to accommodate the vast majority of the traffic, more often than not. In case you're headed to San Diego, have a go at visiting historic Old Town for authentic California style Mexican cuisine and architecture, the Gaslamp Quarter for the best shopping, and whatever you do, don't miss the San Diego Zoo, the best zoo in the nation.
4. San Francisco. On TV, it appears that San Francisco was made for trolley cars and walking. Spend a day there walking here and there the slopes and you'll realize that you'll soon get to be exhausted, or broke from the cab fare! Fortunately, in case you're staying San Francisco, the vast majority of the lodgings have inexpensive parking, and at times free parking. On the off chance that you stay along Fisherman's Wharf, you can easily walk to the vast majority of the attractions along the waterfront.
5. Kansas City. Smack dab amidst the USA lies Kansas City, spreading itself more than two states and the Missouri River. Nicknamed the city of fountains, Kansas City actually has the most fountains on the planet outside of Rome. With a revitalized downtown area, and a portion of the best BBQ you can find in the nation, Kansas City is home to some interesting architecture new, similar to the American Jazz Museum, and historic, similar to the Liberty Memorial (which houses the World War I Museum). As far as drivability, the city couldn't have been set up any less complex. I-70, I-35, and I-69 all are easy courses that head into the city, while I-435 makes a giant circle around the city.
6. San Antonio. Other than flying into San Antonio, you don't have many other alternatives to see this inland Texas city. San Antonio is located in the epicenter of Texas, and is a genuine cross segment of Texan life. As you approach the city from I-10, the sudden movement from rural landscape to major city is abrupt. The city's lack of a major metropolitan area separates it from many other US urban communities. Heading to the west of the city, the terrain starts to get rockier and more mountainous. Driving into the city is basic, with I-10 heading east-west, and I-35 heading north to south. San Antonio is home to the historic Alamo, and the beautiful Riverwalk area. Most inns have free or reasonably evaluated parking. The most ideal way to see the city's major attractions are by foot, yet you can easily navigate the framework style lanes of the city on the off chance that you have to drive.
7. Portland. A standout amongst the most beautiful riverfront urban areas in America, Portland lies on the banks of the Columbia River and Willamette Rivers in Oregon. The city is known for its fine arts, a percentage of the best art galleries in the nation, abundance of microbreweries (they call it "Beertown"), an active bicycle racing scene, and a booming restaurant scene. While the city has astounding open transportation, you can also easily navigate the backstreets and highways of Portland through the I-5, which heads north towards Vancouver Washington, and south towards coastal Oregon and California. I-84 heads east towards Idaho and Salt Lake City.
8. Denver. Chances are, you don't live near Denver. That's definitely why it makes a great road trip destination. Denver isn't only a great city to stop through, it has some incredible view quite recently to the north that make planning a road trip here well justified, despite all the trouble. Rough Mountain National Park, around 52 miles to the northwest, is best seen during the warmer months of the year, when the roads aren't secured in stones and snow. At the foot of the Rockies, you can find the booming art town of Boulder, Colorado. Denver itself is home to annual Great American Beer Festival each fall, and has a lot of art galleries, clubs, and parks to keep visitors involved. A road excursion to Denver is easy planning. I-70, I-25, and I-76 being the major courses into the city. On the off chance that you travel to the west of the city on I-70, check your brakes, you're in for a mountainous excursion!
9. Las Vegas. A road excursion to Las Vegas may very well be the road trek of all road trips. Heading into the confined, barren landscape that encompasses Las Vegas offers up incredible view that appears to wrap itself into the great beyond. The heat pounds the pavement and produces heat lines (simply like you've found in the films), and the excursion appears to be unending. Without notification, you'll catch your first look at Las Vegas, if headed north on I-15, several miles before you arrive. What appears like a dab not too far off will get greater and greater, until you keep running alongside the famous casinos and towering lodgings Vegas is known so well for. It's by difficult to lose all sense of direction in Las Vegas. There's one major road in, and one out. Once you're off the highway, you can take the journey of all travels, down the Las Vegas Strip. For a genuinely unforgettable affair, drive the 3.8 mile long strip around evening time, when the city really wakes up.
10. Salt Lake City. Like Las Vegas, a road outing to Salt Lake City is similar to an optical dream. After driving on miles of dry salt beds (Bonneville Salt Flats State Park), heading east on I-80 will keep running alongside the intriguing Great Salt Lake, and lead to beautiful Salt Lake City. The skyline of Salt Lake City is set strikingly against a backdrop of tall snow capped mountains. The city itself is inclined, and has an interesting feel dissimilar to any other in the nation. The city stays relatively cool all year long, and has some world famous skiing nearby. You may perceive the city from the 2002 Winter Olympic Games. In case you're staying at any of Salt Lake City's lodgings, parking usually isn't an issue. Then again, destinations within the city usually should be headed to, since they are spread far apart.
You've probably seen at this point that there aren't many east coast urban areas on this rundown. The east coast has some enormous sights to see, yet many of those are small towns, coastal peninsulas, islands, and hard to navigate urban areas that were constructed several years ago. That makes taking a road excursion to urban communities such as New York somewhat more troublesome. The more up to date urban areas of the west coast remembered driving when the population really started to take off, setting them at a slight advantage for road trip goers.
