South Carolina Spot Named Top Must-See City in America

Travel season is usually in the summer. That said, the holidays obviously bring a lot of travel to America and places around the world. That said, it's not surprising that there’s an uptick in bookings over the holidays. Well, one South Carolina destination has been named a top must-see city in America.

The list comes from Good Housekeeping's new 2024 Family Travel Awards. Of the awards, Good Housekeeping states, "Our team of travel agents, editors, engineers, scientists and product analysts thoroughly evaluated each submission, focusing on attributes such as quality, convenience, value, sustainability, inclusivity and more." They also "enlisted the help of over 100 travel testers to try out the gear and services." Those travel testers visited "cities, resorts, attractions and other destinations to help us choose these standout winners."

So, which South Carolina spot has been named a top must-see city in America? Greenville. Of the spot, the publication raves, "One of those rare places that appeal to a variety of ages and interests, Greenville warmly welcomes everyone." For the outdoorsy type, they say that, "A 32-acre urban park with a suspension bridge that curves around a waterfall is epic." They also add that if you have a kid into science, "Roper Mountain wows with its up-close reptile encounters, dino trails and 'starry night' shows."

Finally, Good Housekeeping raves about the Residence Inn Downtown Greenville. Of the spot, they say it's just "a few blocks away from more than 200 locally owned eateries and shops, offers a complementary hearty breakfast, an outdoor pool and excellent service at a price that makes it a value." If you think it's expensive, it's not. According to the magazine, the average cost of a hotel room in Greenville was $170 in 2022. That's a steal.
