With a land mass of near 10 million square kilometres, the United States is one of the most diverse destinations on the planet. Say hello to Hollywood on the West Coast, visit the White House in Washington D.C. or take a holiday in the city that never sleeps: NYC. Beachgoers and urban adventurers will find equal delight in their trip to the U.S., yet you can still find areas of untouched natural beauty in places like Colorado and Oregon. With so much to do, it’s a good thing hotels in America are not hard to come by.
When to Visit
Figuring out when to visit America is a complicated matter. If you seek a relaxing beach retreat, spend a northern spring or summer on the West Coast (from March to August). Or, if you want to see a white holiday season, make your way to a Midwest city like Chicago or the Northeast from November to January. Skiing, snowshoeing, and other winter adventures are also prime in destinations including Aspen and Tahoe during the winter season. Because of its sheer size, and the sprawling nature of many cities, car rentals in the United States of America are a near-necessity.
What to See and Do
There is nothing short of a wealthy bounty of things to see and do in America. Take your picture in front of the famed Golden Gate Bridget in San Francisco, learn to surf in Maui, or take a walk through history in Boston. As if those options weren’t enough, you can also try your hand at cards in Las Vegas or walk past the White House in Washington, D.C. Foodies, history buffs, and culture fanatics can all find their niche. This melting pot has a bit of everything.
New York City
NYC is bursting with things to do in all five boroughs. Seeing a play or musical on Broadway is an unforgettable experience, and something to plan your trip around. Not sure what shows to see on Broadway? Go to one of the TKTS Discount Booths and get day-off tickets with very affordable Broadway show prices. Stay in Broadway – Times Square and start your morning at the front of the ticket booth line.
Chicago
Known as Chi-Town to locals, this Midwestern metropolis isn’t shy on world-class art, beautiful lake views, or impressive live music. Make sure you snap a selfie beneath Cloud Gate, the bean-shaped sculpture in Millennium Park, and dine in the West Loop neighbourhood for fantastic food and amazing live entertainment.
Honolulu
Honolulu has gorgeous beaches, brilliant surfing, and seaside Polynesian traditions, and Waikiki is one of its most beloved neighbourhoods. Curious what there is to do in Waikiki? Slather on some sunscreen and go to the beach, join a luau at one of the resorts, and dine along Kalakaua Avenue. There are several Waikiki beachfront resorts as well as accommodation on the inland streets. Wherever you choose to stay in Waikiki, you’ll wake up in paradise.
Los Angeles
From the Hollywood hills to the hip vibes of Silver Lake, Los Angeles is the epitome of California cool. Sip craft cocktails with views of the Pacific Ocean at a rooftop bar, look for your favourite celebrities among the stars on Hollywood Boulevard, and try some stargazing of a different kind at Griffith Observatory on the north side of the city.
