Your destinations —
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.
California
With its heavenly beaches, majestic mountains and vibrant cities, California offers an ever-changing landscape of natural beauty and cultural allure. From the sun-soaked shores of Malibu to the redwood forests of the north, every corner reveals a new facet of the Golden State’s charm.
Must-sees:
- Griffith Observatory: Panoramic views of Los Angeles and a gateway to the cosmos.
- Big Sur’s coastline: A dramatic meeting of land and sea along Highway 1.
- Joshua Tree National Park: Otherworldly desert landscapes, where twisted trees stand beneath vast, starry skies.
Culinary culture:
Savouring California’s cuisine means indulging in an eclectic blend of global influences. From the farm-to-table eateries of San Francisco to authentic Mexican street food in San Diego, flavours are as diverse as the state itself. Don’t miss Napa Valley for world-class wines or the seafood stalls of Fisherman’s Wharf for a taste of the Pacific.
Dive deeper:
Beyond the famous landmarks, California hides lesser-known gems. Wander through the art galleries of Laguna Beach, visit the Spanish missions dotted along El Camino Real, or explore the eerie ghost town of Bodie, a well-preserved relic of the Gold Rush era.
Good to know:
The ideal time to visit is: spring or autumn, when the weather is pleasantly mild. California’s vast size makes a road trip an iconic way to explore, with endless scenic routes to discover. Public transport is limited outside major cities, so hiring a car offers the greatest freedom to uncover the state’s many wonders.
