cewe nungguin week end

With summer now over and the holidays still a few long weeks away, many of us only have the weekends available for suppressing the travel bug. Thankfully, there are plenty of options for a quick getaway that are within just a few hours’ drive from many major cities.

It’s amazing what a weekend away can do. You can sleep in and recharge the batteries at a cozy inn or chic hotel, sample great food and wine or get out on the hiking trail. All you need to do is pack up the car and hit the road.

In a new series of articles on Bing Travel from Travel+Leisure, we offer suggestions for top weekend getaways from the Northeast, Southwest and West Coast. You’ll find details about where to go antiquing in the Hudson River Valley, hiking in Zion National Park, marveling at the modern architecture in Palm Springs or feasting on seafood in the Pacific Northwest.
