Sustainable Travel Blog Search Find a Hostel Start Exploring Miscellaneous 5 Destinations for Your Best Summer in the City Jessica Quandt · June 6, 2024 OK, yes: you might reasonably believe that summers were made for beaches, campfires, and backyard barbecues. But if you’ve never considered the summertime-only wonder of some of the United States’ biggest cities, you’re missing out. That’s because summer doesn’t just mean great weather for walking around and taking in the sights — it means taking advantage of all the unique ways the locals cool off, get outside, and experience their city in a new light. Here are five picks for an unforgettable city summer. Chicago Did you know that in Chicago you can kayak in the river that cuts through town, take a stand-up paddleboard out on Lake Michigan, or sip beachside tropical drinks against a backdrop of skyscrapers? And that’s just the start of what the warm weather’s got in store for you there. Check out our guide to the best outdoor activities for sunny Chicago days to see why we love summer in this city. Boston Paddle out on the Charles River, watch the Fourth of July fireworks while the Boston Pops play at the famous Hatch Shell, or just enjoy the slower pace of life that comes when Boston’s dozens of colleges and universities let out for the summer. However you choose to spend your summer days, Boston is a great place to do it. It’s also an easy jumping-off point for day trips to beachside towns like Hyannis and Gloucester, and hikes on Spectacle Island. While you’re in town, don’t miss the chance to cool down with an ice cream cone from local favorite JP Licks or a unique craft beer on the shady patio at Trillium Brewing . San Diego San Diego ’s famous for its year-round sunny weather, but summertime’s still special. Head to Belmont Park for nostalgic beachfront rollercoaster rides, learn to surf, go for a sunset hike, or celebrate at the city’s legendary Pride parade. Whatever your mood, you won’t regret spending time outside .  New York City There is absolutely nothing like New York City in the summer. Yes, it can get very hot and humid during the day – fair warning. But across the city’s five boroughs you’ll find unique, world-class experiences from outdoor activities to cultural events, many of which are free or cheap to attend. Take the quick ferry ride from lower Manhattan to Governor’s Island and spend an afternoon relaxing in a hammock by the water; line up for free tickets to celebrity-headlined Shakespeare productions in Central Park; join the locals for free outdoor movie screenings in parks across the city; or ride the world-famous Cyclone roller coaster at Coney Island. The possibilities are endless ! Los Angeles It’s no secret that LA has a strong beach culture and the weather to match, and summer’s the time to make the most of it. The beaches in Santa Monica , Venice, and Malibu are all calling your name, but don’t stop there: there’s lots to do inland, too. Grab a day pass to a fancy hotel pool and spend a day sipping poolside cocktails from your lounge chair, or opt for something a bit more active and take a hike through Topanga Canyon. Catch an outdoor movie screening in a city park or even at the famous Hollywood Forever Cemetery. Farmers’ markets all over the city (we’re partial to Santa Monica’s huge market every Wednesday) have the best of summer’s locally grown berries, stone fruit, and other produce. Top it all off with a visit to one of LA’s free summer music festivals, or take a break from the city with one of our favorite day trips from LA .   Summer Inspiration Author Jessica Quandt Jessica is HI USA’s Content Strategy Manager.

Be sure to stop by next time you’re in town visiting a HI USA hostel any time of year! Boston “ Abuela’s Table just took over the space of an iconic Cuban place in Jamaica Plain (JP), and their birria is delicious. JP is super easy to get to; you can take the T orange line or the green line there right from nearby HI Boston Hostel , and it’s a cool neighborhood to explore – so much unexpected history over there. If you find yourself in Raynham (perhaps on your way to Cape Cod !), the former Assistant General Manager of HI Boston has opened a Dominican/Bolivian restaurant called Tropical Llama that started out as a food truck and now is a stand-alone restaurant.” -Michelle, Sales and Marketing Dept. Chicago “A great spot to me in Chicago is Klein’s Bakery ! It’s a local, women-owned Venezuelan bakery and café; definitely worth checking out! Next to HI Chicago Hostel , there’s Cafecito , a café known for its Cuban coffee and a variety of Cuban dishes.” -Aracelli, Sales Dept. “In Chicago’s West Town neighborhood, especially along and around Ashland Ave., there are a number of really good Mexican Mariscos (seafood restaurants), but my personal favorite is Alegrias . It’s a small, family-owned spot that serves up amazing Nayarit-style seafood. Along with their delicious family-sized platters and amazing service, they also have an outdoor patio, complimentary super spicy habanero salsa and ceviche tostadas, and traditional music blasting. It’s also BYOB, and the quirky wall decor adds to the fun vibe!” -Linh, Marketing Dept . “The National Museum of Mexican Art is amazing, and admission is free! The museum itself is super colorful and displays a huge variety of paintings, ceramics, and more. There’s tons of delicious food in the surrounding Pilsen neighborhood, but I’m partial to 5 Rabanitos right around the corner for tacos to fuel my museum visit.” -Jessica, Marketing Dept. San Diego “One of my favorite shops to explore is Artelexia . Most items are handmade from artisans in Mexico. They teach art classes featuring cultural traditions like sugar skulls or papel picado (colorful paper banners). And Chicano Park (in the Barrio Logan neighborhood) has the largest concentration of Mexican American outdoor murals in the world.”  -Judi, HI San Diego Downtown Hostel “Tacos El Gordo is the go-to place for tourists in San Diego and walkable from the hostel… but for the more legit experience, head to Ed Fernandez for birria and the taco shop experience!” -Jeremy, HI Boston Hostel P.S.: the city’s Barrio Logan neighborhood, the center of the city’s Mexican American culture, is a must-visit for art lovers. In addition to Chicano Park, check out the free, self-guided Barrio Art Crawl every second Saturday to visit local galleries, studios, and more. Los Angeles “ Porto’s Bakery is an absolute favorite amongst Angelenos, myself included. It is a family-owned Cuban bakery chain that has several locations across LA County. The locations are a bit far from Santa Monica, but there’s one in Burbank, which is close to several popular studio attractions (Universal, Walt Disney, Warner Brothers). So if you are planning on visiting one of those attractions, you should definitely stop by the bakery for a pastry (or two… or more).” -Tasha, Sales & Revenue Dept. P.S.: Closer to HI Los Angeles Santa Monica , hostel General Manager Dave recommends La Purepecha , a family-run Mexican restaurant with homemade tortillas. San Francisco “For a delicious rotisserie chicken, visit Cantoo in the Tenderloin for Venezuelan Chinese cuisine!” -Dominic, HI San Francisco Downtown Hostel “In the Mission District, 24 th St. between Mission St. and Potrero Ave. is known as the Calle 24 Latino Cultural District . Depending on my mood, I like to grab a sweet concha from one of the many panaderías (bakeries) that line the corridor, or a huge burrito from La Palma Mexicatessen . While you’re over there, you have to walk through Balmy Alley . It’s only a block long, but it’s covered on both sides with constantly rotating murals, often focused on Latino culture, current local issues, and social justice. A few blocks away on Valencia St., DCopper Plus has stunning copper crafts sourced and handmade in Mexico. The family-run shop is owned by fourth-generation coppersmiths! And I have to give a shout-out to Panchita’s a bit further north on 16 th St. They’ve been serving Salvadorian food in SF for decades, and their pupusas are so, so good.” -Jessica, Marketing Dept. P.S.: while you’re in the Mission District, Terika from HI USA’s sales department recommends stopping by Casa Guadelupe supermarket to immerse yourself in the flavors of the neighborhood. This supermercado has been a staple of the Mission for over 30 years. New York City “North of Washington Heights, La Casa del Mofongo is a 24/7 restaurant serving Dominican fare, but as their name would suggest, they also serve mofongo. This quintessentially Puerto Rican dish starts with a base of plantains that are mashed, fried, and topped with various meats or seafood. If you’re in town the second Sunday of June, you’ll find a full-on Nuyorican experience at the Puerto Rican Day Parade, one of New York’s largest. Dominicans hold their own parade on the second Sunday of each August.” -Erik, blog contributor “ El Museo del Barrio [an institution dedicated to celebrating Latino culture from Puerto Rico and beyond] is just across the park from HI New York City Hostel , about a 25-minute walk.” -Lauren, Resource Development P.S.: Lauren also recommends checking out a performance by Ballet Hispánico if you can. While they tour all over the country, you can also catch their performances at the New York City Center on W 55 th Street, an easy subway ride from the hostel.  “I would like to highlight Bakery El Panadero (which specializes in Dominican baked goods in the Washington Heights neighborhood). It’s famous, delicious, and always popular!” -Patrick, Sales Dept. Author Jessica Quandt Jessica is HI USA’s Content Strategy Manager.

Explore America Scholarship For young people just getting started on their travel journey, sometimes it helps to begin in their own backyard.

Diving head-first into novel experiences. Tasting different flavors. Learning about other cultures. And learning about yourself along the way. Learn More About HI USA's Mission HI USA’s mission is to help all gain a greater understanding about the world and its people through hostelling. We offer unique experiential learning opportunities to travelers, so they can learn about themselves while gaining a deeper understanding of the world around them. In 2018, we were honored when the United Nations World Tourism Organization recognized HI USA as a world leader in travel-focused learning programs. Today, each of our programs is designed to align with the Association of American of Colleges and University VALUE rubrics in intercultural knowledge and competence, civic engagement, and global learning. Our educational programs foster HI USA’s core values of Community, Integrity, Respect, and Relationships while furthering our Commitment to Diversity and Inclusion . The Hostel Overnight: Where it All Begins Because the hostel stay is our widest-reaching program, we put a great deal of care into designing it: we’ve put intentional thought into designing our hostel spaces, activities, and amenities so they create the perfect setting for cultural exchange. In our hostels, guests interact with fellow travelers, share perspectives, and challenge their own worldviews. For groups, particularly school groups, our hostels serve as “travel classrooms,” providing endless, organic opportunities for learning about other people, places, and cultures. Whether you’re new to hostels or have been using them for years, you’ll find so much more than just a place to stay with HI USA. Our Signature Programs From intensive cultural-exchange programs like IOU Respect, to domestic and international travel scholarships, to free hostel overnights for groups doing community service during our Great Hostel Give Back, our annual signature programs shape young travelers into community leaders. Sign up for our Programs and Events emails below to be notified when program applications open. Sign Up for Emails IOU Respect: a life-changing cultural exchange program - Applications Now Open! IOU Respect is a two-week intensive cultural exchange program bringing together young participants from the U.S., France, Germany, Egypt, Lebanon, and Tunisia to explore their cultural differences and appreciate their undeniable similarities. This deep-dive program is professionally facilitated, with discussions and group learning exercises designed to foster attitudes of mutual respect, understanding, and tolerance, leading to long-lasting friendships that span countries and cultures.     Explore America: Domestic Travel Scholarship Sometimes, you just need a little help kickstarting your travel dreams to turn them into reality. That’s why HI USA created the Explore America Travel Scholarship . For young novice travelers with demonstrated financial need, Explore America offers $1,500 travel awards and free overnight dorm stays in HI USA hostels across the country. Explore the World: International Travel Scholarship We believe travel is a great teacher, but we know that not everyone has the financial means to make it possible. Each year, HI USA’s Explore the World Travel Scholarships award $2,000 scholarships to help young adults with limited travel experience and resources finance international trips incorporating a service or educational component. For young Americans who have never held a passport, HI USA offers additional financial and logistical support through its Explore the World: First Passport Edition scholarships. Great Hostel Give Back: free group stays for community service Each January and February, HI USA offers groups of 6 or more a chance to earn free overnight stays at our hostels across the country in exchange for volunteer service in our communities. Whether you’re an alternative break group, sports team, club, or simply a group of friends looking to give back, the GHGB is here to help you make your volunteering trip more affordable.   Say HI for Peace: a celebration of the UN's International Day of Peace Each year on September 21, HI USA (along with a growing number of HI hostels around the world) celebrates the UN’s International Day of Peace by hosting intercultural exchange activities in our hostels and in their surrounding communities. We call this annual program “Say HI for Peace” in recognition of hostelling’s power to facilitate the intercultural interactions that lead to the spread of tolerance. We are honored that this has become a worldwide initiative supported by the UNWTO. Please subscribe to our “Programs and Events” mailing list to receive updates on upcoming Say HI for Peace programming.

Sustainable Travel Blog Search Find a Hostel Start Exploring Travel Guides Can You Visit LA Without a Car? Emily Morgan · October 28, 2022 Updated January 2026 In a Nutshell So, do you really need a car to get around Los Angeles? While L.A. is known for its sprawling freeways, this guide shows you how to navigate the city’s key attractions using its extensive public transportation system. You’ll learn how to plan your trip by focusing on specific neighborhoods, and discover how to use the L.A. Metro , buses, and even bikes to explore iconic spots like Santa Monica , Venice Beach , and Hollywood without the stress of driving. ________________________________________________________________________________________________ When I moved to Los Angeles, I was certain I would need a car. This is a driver’s city, famed for freeways and traffic jams. It is a sprawling metropolis, covering 469 square miles of varied terrain. “Massive” doesn’t begin to describe it. So, do you need a car in Los Angeles? I’ll let you in on a secret: despite its size, you can still get around LA without a car. The Metro system gets a bad rap, but it’s a robust web of trains, buses, and bikes that serves over 227 million people annually. Yes, a set of wheels helps, but I have lived and worked in Los Angeles for six years without a car, and I am in no hurry to change that. What about tourists, though? It’s one thing to spend every day in the city, committing bus schedules and bathroom locations to memory. It is another thing entirely to show up for a week with no sense of where anything is. Working at HI Los Angeles Santa Monica Hostel , I am regularly asked questions like: “Can I do Venice Beach, Rodeo Drive, the Walk of Fame, and Griffith Park in one day?” This is usually when I pull up Google Maps, turn my computer screen toward the wide-eyed traveler, and break down how to get around LA successfully without a car – i.e. how to not exhaust yourself and/or get lost while still experiencing the best of the city. Here are my go-to tips. Make a plan and keep it simple I am all for traveling without a plan and getting lost in a new city – most of the time . But Los Angeles is not the place to do this. It is too big, with too many neighborhoods that are not very walkable, for that to be an enjoyable experience. This is the first piece of advice I give to the car-less tourist: pick a region for the day and stick to it. It can take a long time to get from Point A to Point B, so you will most likely want to start your day early so you can get to your destination with plenty of time to explore. Then you should stay in that general area for as long as possible so you don’t have to worry about getting to the other side of the city – a journey that could possibly take a couple hours by bus or train – by a certain time. You want to see Venice? Make it a beach day, exploring Venice and Santa Monica by foot, bike, or bus. The Santa Monica Pier, Venice Boardwalk, Venice Canals, and Abbot Kinney Boulevard can easily fill an entire day’s itinerary and are all in the same general area. You want to see the Walk of Fame? Make it a Hollywood and hike day. Unless you really want to go to Madame Tussauds et al, the tourist traps of Hollywood Boulevard will take up only a fraction of your time. This gives you ample time to hop on the metro Red Line to Los Feliz and catch the shuttle to Griffith Park (and maybe stop for brunch at a cute café). At Griffith, you will almost certainly wear yourself out exploring the trails and wandering the grounds by the Observatory. Get to know the LA Metro System The other thing you need to know is there are numerous options for getting around LA via public transit. Make sure you purchase a Tap Card and load money onto it ASAP when you get here. You can register the card on your phone and use it on any mode of transport. Light rail and subway If you are staying at HI Los Angeles Santa Monica, you are conveniently located two blocks from the Downtown Santa Monica train station. Here, you can catch the E Line , which will take you through such prime neighborhoods as Culver City and Westwood, all the way to the LA transit hub of Downtown Los Angeles (also known as DTLA). It’s a straight shot and an easy hour ride on the train to all the amazing sites of DTLA, like The Last Bookstore, Grand Central Market, and Little Tokyo. Bus One thing local bus riders learn quickly is that most destinations require at least one bus transfer to reach, and transfers add time. However, there are some must-see locations that you can get to with just one bus from HI Los Angeles Santa Monica hostel. For example, the 534 bus goes straight to Malibu from Santa Monica and gets you there in under an hour. Multiple buses run straight through Beverly Hills, so you can save a little money to spend on Rodeo Drive. By foot or by bike The walkability of LA’s neighborhoods is hit or miss, but the beachside communities of Santa Monica and Venice are ideal for a stroll in the sun. The hike-and-bike path known as the Strand passes through Santa Monica State Beach and extends all the way to Torrance, past the Redondo Beach Pier. Covering 22 miles, the path will take you to such iconic sites as the Venice Boardwalk and Marina del Rey. Bike rental options abound in these neighborhoods – or you can simply put on your walking shoes and go. Los Angeles Author Emily Morgan Emily is a Guest Services Associate for HI USA.

Everybody’s super nice, the location is unbeatable and everything is incredibly clean for a hostel.” javiboudon Chile ” This is by far the best hostel I've been to, and I have been to over 20 in the last few months of travel. There isn't one detail or service they missed. From the showers, to the details in the bedrooms, to their cleaning regimen, to their laundry and kitchen facilities, they have thought of it all! It's the small details for me, like hooks in the bedroom to place your towel to dry after a shower for example. HI Santa Monica is the luxury hostel of hostels at competitive prices.” danielletearne7056 Canada Find a Hostel Destination About HI USA Contact Us Careers Press Travel Scholarships Privacy Policy Sitemap HI USA on Instagram HI USA on Facebook HI USA on X HI USA on YouTube HI USA on TikTok Sign up for HI USA News image/svg+xml HI USA is a member of Hostelling International . © 2026 Hostelling International USA HI San Francisco Downtown Hostel - HI USA --> --> Skip to main content Menu Educational Programs New to Hostels?

Sustainable Travel Blog Search Find a Hostel Start Exploring Travel Guides 7 Sweet Spots to Go Swimming this Summer Tshego Letsoalo · April 29, 2024 What’s not to love about the summer? Long days and warm nights, road trips and outdoor adventures, new cities to see and new friends to make at HI USA hostels. And, when the sun gets a little too hot, is there anything better than taking a refreshing swim to cool down? Take a look at some of the sweet spots we enjoy when the days heat up and the water calls. 1. The “Jaws Bridge” – Martha’s Vineyard, MA While there’s no shortage of swimming spots on the island of Martha’s Vineyard, this one is extra famous. As you approach Joseph Sylvia State Beach, you’ll see a low bridge crowded with dozens of beachgoers prepping to leap off into the water below. Officially, it’s the American Legion Memorial Bridge, but its role in the 1975 movie Jaws , which was filmed on the Vineyard, earned the bridge its more commonly used nickname. The jumping-off point is popular with adults and kids alike; just be sure to keep an eye on the tide and the local conditions if you’re considering joining their ranks. 2. Kalmus Beach – Hyannis, MA For an easy beach day on Cape Cod this summer, you can’t beat Kalmus Beach. About a 15-minute walk from the harbor, and just a few minutes more from HI Hyannis hostel , Kalmus Beach offers gentle surf and a life-guarded swimming section for cooling off. There’s even a snack bar on site serving lobster rolls and ice cream (it doesn’t get more Cape Cod than that). 3. Ballston Beach – Truro, MA This hidden gem of a beach near the tip of Cape Cod is known for its wide, pristine stretches of white sand and relatively small waves. One reason it stays quiet and chill all summer: it’s only possible to park at the beach with a resident parking pass. Lucky for guests at HI Truro hostel , Ballston Beach is less than a five-minute walk down a dedicated path from home. 4. Lake Michigan – Chicago, IL Don’t think there are beaches in the Midwest? Think again. In Chicago, locals and visitors alike flock to the shores of Lake Michigan for sand and sun. A few of the city’s lakefront beaches are especially good for swimming: if you’re in town during the summer, don’t miss Oak Street Beach — it’s about a 20-minute bike ride from HI Chicago hostel . 5. Paradise Beach – Sacramento, CA During the seemingly perpetual hot days in Sacramento, locals and visitors flock to the American River, which sits pretty along a bike trail and has a number of beaches for people to hang out and take a dip. One popular (but not crowded) spot is Paradise Beach, which is on a cove created by a bend in the river. It’s a bit of a walk from the parking lot to the beach, but the reward is ample space for you to picnic, and the water is gentle enough for you to float in a tube without drifting too far. Whether you want to swim, float, or paddle the river, the staff at HI Sacramento hostel are full of insider tips to help your outing go off without a hitch. 6. The Pacific Ocean – Santa Monica, CA You don’t have to venture too far from home base to enjoy a swim when you’re staying at HI Los Angeles Santa Monica hostel — the Pacific Ocean’s just a few blocks away! The water can be chilly, but when the LA summer gets a little too hot, this is the place for a refreshing dip. 7. Coronado Beach – San Diego, CA In San Diego, you’re spoiled for choice when it comes to choosing a swim spot. A highlight is Coronado Beach, which is consistently ranked as one of the country’s best beaches because of its white sands sparkling with mica, gentle waves, and sweeping views. This is the type of beach where you post yourself for an entire day of swimming or surfing, and though it’s popular, it’s also spacious enough for sunbathers to have their own space. Grab the ferry to Coronado Island from the San Diego Convention Center, a quick walk from HI San Diego Downtown hostel.
