Your destination

The USA

The USA offers an immersive and awe-inspiring journey through vast landscapes, from the rugged desert terrain to its dynamic cities. Iconic destinations like Chicago, Los Angeles, and the Grand Canyon unfold a journey through American culture, history, and geography. As you venture from city to city, the blend of modern marvels and natural wonders will captivate your imagination.

 

Must-sees:

 

  • Route 66: Follow the legendary highway, exploring its small towns, nostalgic stops, and hidden gems along the way.
  • Grand Canyon: Experience the breathtaking views of this natural wonder, with its immense scale and vivid colours.
  • Santa Fe: Discover the vibrant Native American and Spanish influences, reflected in its art, architecture, and festivals.

 

Culinary culture:


The food scene in the United States is a diverse tapestry, reflecting its cultural melting pot. In Chicago, savour deep-dish pizza, a comforting culinary icon, or try Chicago-style hot dogs for a quick snack. Las Vegas offers an extravagant array of Michelin-starred restaurants, while Santa Fe's dining blends Native American ingredients with modern flavours. Street food in places like Los Angeles provides a taste of the multicultural influence, with tacos, sushi, and gourmet food trucks showcasing a variety of international cuisines.

 

Dive deeper:


Beyond the well-known attractions, the United States offers lesser-known cultural experiences. Visit the Gilcrease Museum in Tulsa to explore the largest collection of Western art and artefacts. In Santa Fe, stroll through the Native American art markets or immerse yourself in the region’s distinctive Pueblo architecture. For history enthusiasts, Springfield's sites honouring Abraham Lincoln will provide a deep connection to the nation's past.

 

Good to know:


For an enriching experience, consider visiting during off-peak months when popular destinations are less crowded. Public transportation is widely available in major cities, but a road trip remains one of the most authentic ways to explore the country. For adventure seekers, hiking and outdoor excursions are abundant, particularly in national parks like the Grand Canyon or along the coast of California.
