United States Destination Guide

It's big, bold and brash; welcome to the United States of America! With so much to explore it's hard to know where to begin, but a good USA Travel Guide can help inform your plans.

Most visitors prefer their flights to the USA to land in one of the country's major cities. From the hustle and bustle of New York, to Los Angeles' sun-drenched culture, the national capital Washington D.C. and collegiate Boston, USA's major cities are packed with sights and plenty of cultural attractions. And for the shopaholic there are a multitude of exciting shopping centres to explore; just don't forget to bring the credit cards!

In Las Vegas – Nevada's glittering neon casino city – you'll soon find out if 'Lady Luck' is on your side. Here you can get married by an Elvis impersonator before glimpsing the dazzling lights of the city from the very top of the Eiffel Tower – that is, the half-sized replica located at the glitzy Paris casino.

There are many ways to travel but a classic road trip can't be beaten. After all, travelling through the USA is all about the journey! Hire a car and hit the legendary Route 66, which runs from Illinois in the midwest all the way to California on the west coast. Or for a stunning scenic holiday, take your time and enjoy a leisurely drive through New England; in the autumn you'll see trees explode in glorious fireworks of red, yellow and orange.

There is a wealth of beauty to discover in the centre of the country, from the quirky towns of the Great Lakes, to the Rocky Mountains and Great Plains of the interior, to the Appalachians and the home of bluegrass music and culture. Adrenalin junkies will find their spiritual homeland in the USA; hike through the primeval forests of Washington and Oregon, explore the snow-drenched Alaskan wilderness or trek through historic Yellowstone National Park in Wyoming. In Arizona you will be wowed one of the Seven Natural Wonders of the World, the Grand Canyon. If you can't decide, find a local to guide you and choose from one of a vast number of USA tours.

In Orlando, you can visit Cape Canaveral, home of NASA and the Kennedy Space Station. Nearby Disneyland is the place where dreams come true, particularly if those dreams revolve around Mickey Mouse! Kids of all ages love it, so take advantage of cheap flights to the USA and book yours today.
