Alight Trip is a small, independent travel publication built around the questions people ask before a city break in San Francisco or Boston: where to stay, what is overrated, how long Alcatraz really takes, whether the Freedom Trail is worth it in the rain.
What you will find here
City guides written for people with a few days and a lot of choices, and the drives that start from those cities: the coast road south, the mountains east, the cape and the coast in New England. We try to answer the practical question behind every sight: is it worth your time, and how do you fit it in?
What you will not find
- Bookings of any kind. We do not sell tickets, rooms or tours, and we never take reservations by phone.
- Paid placements. Nobody pays to appear in a guide.
- Pop-ups, sign-up walls or advertising.
A good place to begin
If San Francisco is first on your list, three days in San Francisco is where most readers start. For the planning itself, try how to plan a city break.
