A “microcation” is defined as six days or less, except in the biggest cities (like London, Chicago, and Paris) where it’s more like a week. Round-trip direct flights. Checking bags in the hotel lobby before check-in time to start exploring immediately. Spending a little more to be near locations.

For such a microcation, be prepared to plan extensively, get familiar with public transportation in advance, and buy as many advance/skip-the-line tickets and make as many reservations as possible (especially at noteworthy restaurants, which could easily be full the whole week you’re there). Above all get a paper street map. Google Maps is (usually, not always) okay for Point-A-to-Point-B, but not for this. Besides, you don’t want to walk through a fascinating new place with your eyes glued to your phone – better you should occasionally attract amused looks checking your old school map.

“Your Microcation” choices:

Domestic Destinations:
Knoxville, Asheville, Austin, Boston, New Orleans.
Europe and the UK Destinations :
Rome, Dublin, Edinburgh, Vienna, Madrid.

Please allow four to seven days for delivery of Your Microcation articles. You will receive an Online Invoice when the item is prepared and ready to download.
