New Orleans
#1 in Best Places to Visit in February
Two words: Mardi Gras. February is one of the best months to visit this Southern city thanks to the raucous but revered celebration. Keep in mind, room rates and flights won’t be cheap this time of year, but a February trip to the Big Easy has a few advantages. You can enjoy mild weather in the upper 40s to mid-60s, see the parades, soak up the atmosphere on lively Bourbon and Frenchmen streets and sample the city’s famous beignets.
Zihuatanejo
#2 in Best Places to Visit in February
This Pacific Coast beach town is one of Mexico’s best kept secrets. Travelers can explore the cobblestone streets of the downtown area one day and relax on the white sands the next. The beautiful beaches and scenic swimming spots are the main draw for Zihua visitors, but the authentic food scene stands out as well. Sample fresh seafood, local mezcal and anything with mango – mango farms surround the seaside city.
