Best Destinations Without a Car

Car-free trips work when the hotel area, airport transfer, and daily plans fit together. A destination can be walkable in the center but still awkward if the stay is in the wrong area.

Selection criteria

This page uses editorial selection criteria rather than pretending there is one universal ranking. Destinations were chosen for combinations of access, trip variety, relative affordability, short-trip potential, car-free practicality, food, nature, beach access, and fit with Zippi planning content.
