These are the best places to travel this summer

The World Cup isn’t just a soccer tournament; it’s a celebration of the world’s most popular sport. And in 2026, the party is coming to North America. Hosted across Canada, Mexico and the United States, the World Cup will unite the continent as never before: Stadiums will sell out, cities will be abuzz, and the three nations, and their multitudes of cultures and traditions, will come together in the name of the game. With 104 games played across 16 cities, choosing where to go will be no easy task. Never fear! Think of it as the perfect excuse to visit someplace new. Pick the city (or cities) that sound the most intriguing, from the food and art scenes to the outdoors and general vibe. The World Cup is your golden ticket — not just to an epic soccer experience but also to an unforgettable travel adventure. 
Note: As you read through this epic list, you'll notice each stadium has an aka. Due to FIFA's rule about advertising, the stadiums will be called by the host city name for the length of the tournament, but we've given you the actual names to make navigation easier.

Toronto 

June 12, June 17, June 20, June 23, June 26, July 2

Why choose Toronto: Toronto is one of the most multicultural cities on the planet, not just in its population (over half of Torontonians were born abroad) but also in its vibrant neighborhoods and food scene. Add to that its fascinating museums, lively music and arts venues and Toronto is a true top bin. And did we mention all the green spaces?

Where to stay: A couple blocks from the stadium, splurge on Hotel X Toronto, a chichi high rise hotel in Toronto's Waterfront neighborhood, known for its multi-use walkways, parks and dazzling views.

Don't have tickets to the game? Beyond its gigantic HD screens (the largest is 39-ft-wide), Real Sports is a labyrinthine affair near the CN Tower that serves up quality pub grub at any number of tables, cozy couches and even a 100-ft-long bar.

Where is the game?  BMO Field (aka Toronto Stadium)

Getting to the stadium: Unless you’re hoofing it, use Toronto’s extensive public transportation to get to the stadium. There are two streetcar stops (Dufferin Gate Loop and Exhibition Loop) plus a commuter train stop (Exhibition GO) near the entrance.

Why choose Vancouver: Vancouver is where stunning natural beauty meets techy urban sophistication. Come here for big city offerings, like world-class dining and multicultural offerings, but also easy access to the outdoors, from one of the world’s largest urban parks to ocean and mountain adventure. Just bring an umbrella – it’s not called Raincouver for nothing.

Where to stay: Located in the trendy warehouse district of Yaletown, the Georgian Court Hotel offers modern, tastefully-appointed rooms across from the stadium. If you’ll be in town a few days, consider staying further afield in one of Vancouver’s other vibrant neighborhoods.

Mexico City

June 11, June 17, June 24, June 30, July 5

Why choose Mexico City: Mexico City is a megapolis like no other, rich in history, bursting with culture, and buzzing with urban energy and worldly style. Come for the World Cup’s history-making opening match – the only time a city has hosted the opener three times - and stay for everything from top-notch museums and archaeological sites to legendary nightlife and unbeatable street food.

Where to stay: Close to the stadium (but also near the city’s beltway), Punto Lofts offers comfortable, modern studios with kitchenettes. Stay for game night then move to one of the city’s other, more walkable, neighborhoods.

Don't have tickets to the game? It’s all about the customer at Torito Sports Bar Reforma, a local fave near Parque Chapultepec. Expect lots of TVs, good drink and grub specials plus a chilled-out vibe.

Getting to the stadium: Though Guadalajara has a robust public transportation system, Estadio Akron is on the outskirts of town, so it is best accessed by Uber. If you prefer public transportation, the SiTren Linea 1 bus stops 1.5 miles away (Concentro stop).

Monterrey

June 14, June 20, June 24, June 29

Why choose Monterrey: Monterrey is known as Mexico’s commercial center, though the hustle bustle of its business district is complemented by modern architecture and a clutch of outstanding museums.

Where is the game? Estadio BBVA (aka Estadio Monterrey)

Getting to the stadium: The best way to get to Monterrey’s stadium is by metro. The nearest stop - Exposición – is a 15-minute walk away. If door-to-door service is more your thing, take an Uber instead.

Atlanta

June 15, June 18, June 21, June 24, June 27, July 1, July 7, July 15

Why choose Atlanta? Atlanta is a remarkable city with a profound place in American history.

Boston

June 13, June 16, June 19, June 23, June 26, June 29, July 9

Why choose Boston: Some may try to convince you that NYC is better than Boston (or that the moon is made of green cheese). Just keep that kind of nonsense to yourself while visiting Title Town. Boston goes toe-to-toe with any major US city for its place in American history, plethora of parks, museum culture and college-town gusto. And there’s no mistaking that legendary Bostonian pride.

Where to stay: Nightlife, cheap eats, art museums, and a historic baseball stadium make Fenway-Kenmore a fun entry into Boston’s neighborhoods. Stay at The Verb Hotel, a rock' n’ roll-themed place with accommodations ranging from cushy rooms to retrofitted trailers.

Dallas

June 14, June 17, June 22, June 25, June 27, June 30, July 3, July 6, July 14

Why choose Dallas: Dallas gets a bum rap. From that overwrought TV show to the love-to-hate-‘em Cowboys football team, there’s plenty that folks turn their noses at. Their loss. The truth is Dallas bursts with youthful energy, Texas swagger and unexpected cultural verve. Be sure to check out the city’s museums, street art, smoky BBQ and, yes, outstanding sports teams.

Where to stay: Downtown Dallas is a hub of activity, with history and art museums mixed with business headquarters and leafy spaces; centrally located, it’s easy to explore nearby neighborhoods. Stay at Mint House Dallas, a high-rise hotel with charming studios and skyline views.

Don't have tickets to the game? Well-loved Christie’s is a welcoming two-story bar with loads of TVs. The menu features classic finger-food faves with treats like fried pickles and charcuterie boards.

Where is the game? AT&T Stadium (aka Dallas Stadium)

Getting to the stadium: There’s no public transportation to the stadium, 20 miles west; instead take a DART commuter train to Centrepoint Station in Arlington and cab it from there. Or drive yourself - there’s plenty of stadium parking.

Houston

June 14, June 17, June 20, June 23, June 26, June 29, July 4

Why choose Houston: Houston is one of the country's most dynamic and culturally rich cities. Texas’s largest city, Houston, has outstanding public art and museums, a terrifically eclectic food scene, and lovely green spaces and trails. And as home to NASA's Lyndon B. Johnson Space Center, it’s a must-see for space travel fans.

Where to stay: Among Houston’s eclectic neighborhoods, consider staying in Montrose, with an artsy vibe, trendy restaurants and visible LGBTQ+ community. Hotel Saint Augustine is in the heart of it, an elegant design-forward hotel in a serene garden setting.

Don't have tickets to the game? For Houston’s soccer fans, it’s tough to beat Pitch 25, a 25,000-square-foot beer garden with an indoor futsal field. Founded by soccer pro Brian Ching, there are 70+ screens, 100 beers on tap and a countdown to the first World Cup game.

Where is the game? NRG Stadium (aka Houston Stadium)

Why choose Kansas City: Kansas City is an easygoing midwestern city – two actually, on either side of the state line between Kansas and Missouri, filled with fountains, jazz and terrific BBQ. But there’s nothing low-key about KC sports. While the Missouri side boasts an American football dynasty, the Kansas side boasts a standout MLS team, first-rate facilities and passionate fans..

Where to stay: North of Downtown, the walkable Crossroads Art District is dotted with street art, trendy restaurants and music venues. Stay at Crossroads Hotel, a one-time Pabst Blue Ribbon distribution plant turned industrial-chic hotel.

Don't have tickets to the game? No Other Pub is a lively hangout in the Power & Light District: part sports bar, part arcade, part rec room with shuffleboard, bowling and more. Game days bring crowds full of team spirit. Plus, it’s an official World Cup watch party location.

Where is the game? Arrowhead Stadium (aka Kansas City Stadium)

Getting to the stadium: While taking a rideshare or driving is the most common way to get to Arrowhead, RideKC bus route 47 drops you off nearby.

Come to L.A. for the icons – the Getty Museum, Venice Beach, Walk of Fame – but stay for the city’s amazing array of neighborhoods, cuisine and cultural outlets.
