Summer means sandy beaches and sun chairs, right? Not according to Airbnb. The vacation rentals marketplace has just put out its summer travel trends report for 2017 which includes a top 10 of the most wishlisted destinations—many of which are cities.

This summer season is poised to be among the company’s busiest yet by a wide margin, with bookings for many of these destinations reportedly doubling since 2016 (the top 10 here reflects the most-booked destinations for Memorial Day weekend, which tends to set the pace for the summer months).
