Head to the Country Music Hall of Fame to see memorabilia of country icons on display or take a tour through the Ryman Auditorium where some of the biggest stars played and still perform today. Your stay in Nashville wouldn&#8217;t be complete with a night out on Broadway which is famous for its live music venues.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_3400\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-3400\" style=\"width: 500px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-3400 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/\/2015\/06\/nashville-downtown.jpg\" alt=\"Downtown Nashville\" width=\"500\" height=\"400\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-3400\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photo by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/mikerhicks\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Michael Hicks<\/a> under Creative Commons Licence<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>Savannah<\/h3>\n<p>Being the oldest city in the state of Georgia, this quaint historic town attracts many visitors each year.\u00a0 With its cobble-stoned streets, historic squares and grand homes will transport you to an era long gone.\u00a0 Savannah also offers lots of present day activities at its river front where you&#8217;ll find trendy clothing shops and quality restaurants.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_3398\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-3398\" style=\"width: 500px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-3398 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/\/2015\/06\/forsyth-park-savannah.jpg\" alt=\"forsyth park\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-3398\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photo by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/jeffgunn\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Jeff Gunn<\/a> under Creative Commons Licence<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>Santa Fe<\/h3>\n<p>With its characteristic architecture of earthy adobe residences and buildings, this city oozes Spanish colonial charm. Its culture is a real mix of ancient native arts and modern design which has made it a magnet for all kinds of artists and creative types, resulting in a wide range of museums and art galleries. Santa Fe also boasts some high-end shopping outlets as well as legendary, New-Mexican cuisine.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_3396\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-3396\" style=\"width: 500px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-large wp-image-3396\" src=\"https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/\/2015\/06\/santa-fe.jpg\" alt=\"Santa Fe\" width=\"500\" height=\"289\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-3396\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photo by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/curtsm\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Curt Smith<\/a> under Creative Commons Licence<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h3>Seattle<\/h3>\n<p>Located on the West Coast of the USA, it does rain a lot in Seattle, but that shouldn&#8217;t stop you from visiting this vibrant city. It was famous in the &#8217;80s for grunge music and in the &#8217;90s for movies like &#8216;Sleepless in Seattle&#8217; and &#8216;Singles&#8217; really put Seattle in the limelight.\u00a0 Besides a thriving coffee culture, Seattle boasts lots of green spaces and nature parks in and outside of the city, which is probably why Seattleites are some of the fittest and most outdoorsy people in the USA, regardless of that omnipresent rain.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_3395\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-3395\" style=\"width: 500px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-3395 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/\/2015\/06\/seattle-skyline.jpg\" alt=\"Seattle skyline\" width=\"500\" height=\"333\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-3395\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photo by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/howardignatius\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Howard Ignatius<\/a> under Creative Commons Licence<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h3>Phoenix<\/h3>\n<p>If you think that all you&#8217;ll see in Phoenix are cactuses and tumbleweeds, then you couldn&#8217;t be more wrong. The Sonoran desert, where Phoenix is located, is one of the most colourful and lushest deserts in the entire world. It offers an abundance of hiking and biking trails set in breath-taking scenery. \u00a0Downtown\u00a0 Phoenix is buzzing with things to do as well.
