As I am sitting here typing this in Lansing, I have to say, ouch... I am a little hurt. However, it should be noted, it has nothing to do with the beauty the capital city has to offer.

So, why exactly did Lansing rank so low in this?

Travel Costs and Hassles

WalletHub just recently released it's list of the best places to travel to in 2023. It ranked 100 Michigan cities and towns, and if you live in the capital city, you should know, Lansing ranked really bad in their ranking sheets.

In their study, WalletHub evaluated travel costs and hassles, and boy was it a stab in the gut to Michigan's capital city.

We ranked at number 97 on the list out of 100 for the highest cost and the most hassle to get to.

Believe it or not, at the top of the list as the is Santa Rosa, CA, as the lowest cost and fewest hassle to get to. Which is shocking to me, as I always assumed California would be more expensive to get to.

The Fewest Activities

Another shot at Lansing was made in that list as well!

Lansing came in at number 96 in the list for the fewest activities in towns to travel too. Now, as someone from the capital city, I do have to disagree, as there are a lot of things you can check out, however, we don't have what it takes to compete with number one. Coming in at number one on their list, is no shock, but Orlando, Florida.

Three Michigan Cities Did Make The Best Summer Vacation Destinations

So, nonetheless, Lansing did actually make the list at number 97, which isn't very pretty for us, but still something.

Grand Rapids, Michigan did make the list, at number 17, so props to our sister city over there repping Michigan.

Detroit also made the list, coming in at number 39.
