Wonderful bed and breakfasts can be found all over the world, adding extra charm to your getaways. These are the most popular bed and breakfast destinations covered at this site.

1. Manhattan, New York City, New York

In New York City, as in many large cities, the bed and breakfast options aren't exactly the same as you'll find in more rural settings. But they're still fantastic. For your next trip to Manhattan, consider staying at one of these inns or homes in the city. We also cover inns in Brooklyn, Queens, the Bronx and Staten Island.

2. New Orleans, Louisiana

If you're planning a trip to New Orleans and want to soak up the unique atmosphere of the French Quarter, a stay in one of these bed and breakfasts will give you the chance to do just that. Our site also features great inns in the Garden District, Algiers Point, Esplanade Ridge, Mid-City, and Faubourg Marigny.

3. Door County, Wisconsin

Door County is on a peninsula on the easternmost side of Wisconsin. It's rich in history and home to many lighthouses. Visitors can also spend time in any of the state and county parks found on the peninsula.

4. Williamsburg, Virginia

Williamsburg and its sister cities of Jamestown and Yorktown are an American history lover's paradise. Tours, plays, reenactments, and other special programs enable visitors to experience what life was like in 1607 Jamestown, site of the first permanent English settlement in the New World; and in 1699 Williamsburg, capital of the Virginia colony until 1780.

5. Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

In the minds of many, Pittsburgh remains a steel town -- despite the fact that most of the steel operations have long since closed down, many now replaced with high-tech companies and research centers. There is plenty to see and do in this vibrant city -- which finds itself in the midst of redevelopment in many communities.

6. Bermuda

Bermuda is a temperate, subtropical jewel a short journey from the East Coast of the United States. The country is composed of seven principal islands where visitors needn't look far to find scenic trails, parks and beaches -- or great bed and breakfasts.

7. Charleston, South Carolina

Charleston, South Carolina, is a city that breathes history. Visitors can see this vibrant and hospitable coastal city by foot, car, bus, boat or horse-drawn carriage. Sightseeing tours offer such focuses as African-American history, the Civil War, pirates, ghosts, plantations, islands, wildlife, marine life, architecture, mansions and gardens.

8. San Francisco, California

The city of San Francisco is a confluence of personalities, from neighborhoods for the ultra chic and affluent to areas with a laid-back small-town feel. Its winding, steep streets connect such attractions as Fisherman's Wharf, Union Square, San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, Alamo Square's Postcard Row, San Francisco Zoo and Golden Gate Park.

9. Jim Thorpe, Pennsylvania

The town of Jim Thorpe has a definite charm -- quaint, Victorian... a town that time seems to have left alone. Downtown, an easy walk from the historic Harry Packer Mansion and several other local bed and breakfasts, includes a number of must-see stops.

10. Tuscany, Italy

As the place where, in 1400, modern thought started, Tuscany has always had a call on travelers -- and even before then, Hannibal came as did lots and lots of Romans. This article was contributed to our site by the proprietor of a Tuscan bed and breakfast.
