TripAdvisor announced the 10 places you should travel to this summer, and the list might surprise you

We hope your bags are packed and you're ready to hit the road. Here are the top 10 summer 2018 travel destinations you should visit, according to TripAdvisor.com.

Who’s up for a road trip? On May 15th, TripAdvisor released its top 10 places we should travel to this summer based on a survey of over 3,300 U.S. travelers. Using seasonal booking interest and average costs for hotels and airfare, TripAdvisor aimed to keep our wallets in mind (without compromising our fun) while tailoring the top 10 list. As much as we love you Disney, you’re no good for our checking account.

The site calculated that out of the 87% of respondents taking a summer trip this year, 91% of them will travel domestically. And with most of the below destinations located in the eastern half of the U.S., one could easily drive from one location to another. We’ll ask again — road trip, anyone?

Many of TripAdvisor’s top 10 summer destinations are located in the Northeast. Based on the survey, TripAdvisor predicts that the Northeast will be the most popular place to visit during the summer of 2018. For each location, within the Northeast and beyond, the travel site did us a solid on top of tracking down the best deals — TripAdvisor predicted the least expensive week to visit each spot.

(Note: According to TripAdvisor, the below locations are “ranked by greatest increase in booking interest from spring to summer.”)

1Mackinac Island, Michigan

“Candy-colored facades” paired with homemade fudge, coastal breezes, and a relaxing vintage atmosphere. With roundtrip airfare costing about $476 on average from within the U.S., and nightly hotel rates averaging $347, a summer week on Mackinac will set you back about $2,900… which makes us sweat. But TripAdvisor notes that you can save the most during the week of June 4th (we certainly hope so!).

2Bar Harbor, Maine

Not thinking less of myself but trying to think of myself less.

The views from Acadia National Park are enough to make you want to move to Bar Harbor, Maine. And the 19th-century mansions and hotels are pretty to look at, too. If you head to Bar Harbor during the week of May 26th, you can save 26% on the average $2,321 per person price tag for a summer week’s stay.

3Block Island, Rhode Island

Quiet dunes, aging lighthouses, and pristine coastlines are what Block Island has to offer. But be prepared to pay for your charming New England relaxation. A week on Block Island during the summer can set you back over $2,800 per person. Go during the week of June 11th to save 19%.

The “Queen of America’s Lakes” is the outdoor-lover’s dream. With some of the clearest water you’ll ever see, even Thomas Jefferson couldn’t get enough of Lake George. And you’ll like the price to stay there even more. Compared to the other top 10-ers, a week on Lake George will average around $1,958. And if you wait until the week of June 11th, you can save yourself 30% of that cost.

5West Yellowstone, Montana

Head westward to West Yellowstone if you’re looking for a different kind of vast and beautiful view. Explore Yellowstone National Park and catch a glimpse of the wild bison, bears, and elk. The average nightly hotel rate is $331, and roundtrip airfare averages at $419 from within the U.S. Travel to West Yellowstone during the week of August 27th to save 9% on the average $2,736 per week expense.

9Jackson Hole, Wyoming

Adventure-seekers must visit Jackson Hole in the summertime. Horseback riding, whitewater rafting, kayaking, hot air balooning, and hang gliding await you there.

It really doesn’t get more New England than Nantucket. The island off the coast of Massachusetts is home to shingled homes, dirt paths, and winding coastlines. You’ll also get a superb dose of history while soaking in Nantucket’s charm. Alas, the cost to visit is not so charming. A summer’s week stay will cost you over $4,800, thanks to a whopping average nightly hotel rate of $661. Go during the week of May 28th to save 31%.
