Moving from coastal vibes to a more relaxed, small-town charm, Green Bay, Wisconsin, secures the second spot. Perfect for a cozy, low-key getaway, Green Bay offers attractions like the Bay Beach Amusement Park and Green Bay Botanical Garden. For a touch of charm, Airbnb recommends a picturesque Lakefront Boho Cottage.

Rounding out the top three is the metropolis of Tokyo, Japan, a favorite among Gen Z travelers. Known for its blend of modernity and tradition, Tokyo’s allure remains unmatched. Airbnb highlights a private room in Chuo City, offering a central base for exploring the city’s streets.
