If you’re after a legit city break — as in, escaping to the city — Los Angeles is about as metropolitan as it gets in the U.S.

Washington, D.C.

It’s been a rather “interesting” year in our country’s capital. Still, there’s no better place to vacation for hardcore history and political buffs than Washington, D.C. Nightly rates start at just $66 with Booking.com’s latest sale.

Houston, Texas

For a taste of The Big South, you can’t beat a trip to Texas. Houston is one of Booking.com’s biggest bargains for travel in early 2021, with the best rates as low as $40 nightly.

Kahana, Hawaii

If Miami Beach is “near-perfect,” we’d argue that Hawaii is actually perfect. Shop incredible travel deals in Maui’s picturesque beachfront community of Kahana in 2021.

Booking.com is offering a generous booking window from now through March 31, 2021, with travel dates between January 5, 2021, and March 31, 2021.
