The 10 Best Winter Sun Destinations in the USA

8. New Orleans, Louisiana

Winter in New Orleans is far from freezing – you’ll get mild temps in the 60s, which is perfect for exploring this iconic city. Plus, the crowds are low just before Mardi Gras, so you can enjoy everything from bonfires along the levees to the annual Tet Fest. Don’t forget to jump on a bike tour through the backstreets and soak up all the culture, food, and music NOLA has to offer.
