One of the most rewarding ways to travel is to settle in to one remarkable place and stay a while. You get to know the destination more thoroughly and embrace the rhythms of life in a culture that is not your own. On a Cultural Stay with Smithsonian Journeys, unpack just once and immerse yourself in a captivating destination. From your base at a hotel chosen for its location and its sense of place, explore the region in depth, visiting important sites but also soaking up the art, music, cuisine, and local customs. You’ll slow down and savor the highlights and the hidden gems of your destination.
