Wallethub just released their 2019 list of the best places to have a 'Staycation'. What's that? It's when you make the most of your home state and celebrate a mini vacation in your own home turf. Turns out Chicago is number 3 on the list of 2019's Best & Worst Cities For Staycations.

  1. Honolulu, HI
  2. Orlando, FL
  3. Chicago, IL
  4. San Diego, CA
