A Chicago suburb has been named to the list of the 50 best places to travel in the world in 2025 by travel blog TravelLemming, alongside places in Puerto Rico, Indonesia and Vietnam.
Oak Park, a suburb just west of Chicago that borders the city, was named to TravelLemming’s list, with the city’s Frank Lloyd Wright homes and conservatory highlighted by the publication.
Although Chicago is known to many as a summer vacation spot, TravelLemming recommends visitors visit Oak Park in the fall, as the tree-dense city offers picturesque views of fall colors.
Oak Park wasn’t the only one representing the United States or even the Midwest, with Harbor Springs, Michigan, a small upstate town on the shores of Lake Michigan, making the list.
Considered an idyllic summer vacation spot, Harbor Springs has been praised for its scenery and small-town atmosphere.
Other U.S. spots that made the list include major cities such as Portland, Oregon and Austin, Texas, as well as smaller locations such as Butte, Montana and Bellingham, Washington.
