Your destinations —
The City of Angels embodies the spirit of the West Coast and the "American way of life"... Visit famous filming locations or relax on the beach... LA has a lot to offer and is versatile!
From the skyscrapers of downtown LA or the historic buildings of El Pueblos, to Rodeo Drive and Berverly Hills... Here you can immerse yourself live in the world of film. There is no way around the Hollywood Hills! Follow in the footsteps of your favourite stars and take a photo of the many stars on the Walk of Fame.
For even more magical moments, visit Universal Studios, a huge theme park inspired by the most famous movies. Round off your day with a sunset at Venice Beach, where a wide variety of food trucks offer typical American specialities.
San Francisco
If you are going to San Francisco, you don't need to wear flowers in your hair, but you will surely meet some gentle people there and will have so much to see and do, you may consider extending your trip longer!
A magical city bursting with diverse neighbourhoods, grand-dame Victorian houses, cable cars zipping down steep hills and interesting museums. Before heading out to explore, be sure to dress in layers, as the city's weather is very unpredictable - even on the sunniest of the days, a chilly blanket of fog can roll through at any moment!
Make your holiday unforgettable and visit the iconic Pier 39 where you can watch the famous sea lions sun bathe. Walk or catch a ride up to Coit Tower and take in the panoramic views of San Francisco. Stop at the Ghiradelli Square for some chocolates (great souvenir idea). Take a ferry to Alcatraz Island and learn the history of this infamous prison that once held Al Capone and George "Machine Gun" Kelly (we recommend booking your tickets in advance).

Las Vegas
There’s nothing quite like the first time you see the Las Vegas strip appear on the horizon, particularly after a flight across the desolate, and seemingly never-ending plains of the surrounding desert. Possibly the world's most famous 'oasis', Las Vegas is globally synonymous with glamorous casinos, rock-star luxury, a skyline of spectacular hotels, dazzling lights and the promise of indulgence at every corner. Sin City runs on gambling, heavy tourism and a knowledge that the majority of visitors are there to spend big for the chance of winning even bigger, and as a result, no effort has been spared to ensure that first-time tourists in Vegas will be blown away by 24-hour excess and opulence from the moment they arrive.
Whether you're keen to explore the vast array of A-Lister concerts and awe-inspiring stage shows, or hoping to dine at all-American and International restaurants serving everything from hearty breakfasts to Michelin-quality cuisine, Las Vegas promises it all. From shopping till you drop at Miracle Mile, to watching the sun set across the mountains as the legendary fountains dance infront of the Bellagio, this city is like nowhere else on earth, and is a true bucketlist destination.
