Some people travel for sunshine and stunning landscapes. Other people travel for an adventure. But what about those explorers who are looking for exciting destinations that are also incredibly beautiful? Sightseeing doesn’t have to just be an educational experience, and a relaxing vacation doesn’t have to include pretty views with no substance. You can have the best of both worlds. Here’s a list of nearly every American city that’s both exciting and pretty. Obviously, there are others, but we don’t want the list to go on endlessly.

Miami

Miami is one of the most beautiful and lively cities on the east coast. If you’re looking for an adventure that’s packed full of spectacular views to admire then this is the best destination to put on your “To See” list.
