2 Bay Area cities among America’s best for sober traveling
“It’s not just about ordering mocktails!”
That’s what Time Out magazine wants you to remember about sober traveling. While some folks prefer booze-soaked debauchery or ayahuasca retreats, other vacationers like to experience a fantastic hiking trail, a world-class museum or a transformative yoga class, and remember everything just fine the next day.
Based on research from Missouri treatment center Sana Lake Recovery, which considers things like access to nature, gyms, music venues and even AA meetings, Time Out has named the “10 best cities for sober travel in the U.S.” Two places in California make the list, Oakland (2) and San Francisco (10), with their Bay Area perks like “more than 300 hiking trails, 120 fitness studios and 33 different museums to stimulate your travel.” Oh, and “five mocktail bars and two gorgeous, restored movie palaces (the Fox and the Paramount) where you can take tours or see live shows.”
Here is where else in America you might want to visit in 2025, should you love to be alert and living the sober life:
