Steeped in the history of antebellum USA, Alabama is a lot more than a rich historical centre. The state’s scenic landscapes, fishing villages, seaside settlements, impressive architecture, growing culinary industry, and booming arts and music scene make it a fantastic holiday destination. This American state is filled with historical, cultural, and natural attractions that will keep you occupied and entertained for days on end. The state’s array of drive-in theaters and beach resorts are only some of the top places to check out.

If you’re one such traveller, check out this list of the top tiny houses for rent in Alabama, USA.
