United States of America

The United States is more than a country; it is a collection of worlds. From the neon-lit canyons of New York City to the ancient redwoods of the Pacific Coast, its scale is matched only by its variety. It is a destination where you can experience the height of urban luxury, the rugged isolation of the frontier, and the laid-back rhythm of coastal life—all within the same borders.

Whether you are seeking a culinary journey through the Deep South, a spiritual retreat in the desert Southwest, or a classic road trip across the Great Plains, the USA offers a sense of possibility that is uniquely its own.

Why we love the USA

We love the USA for its cinematic quality. It is a place that feels familiar yet constantly surprises. It is the birthplace of jazz, the home of the national park, and a pioneer of the open road. It is the effortless ability to transition from a world-class gallery in DC to a star-filled sky in Montana that keeps us exploring. In the USA, the journey is just as important as the destination.

The Most Beautiful Places in the USA

With fifty states to explore, these are the legendary regions that define the American spirit:

1. New York City & The Northeast

The “City That Never Sleeps” remains the ultimate urban icon. Beyond the skyscrapers of Manhattan lie the historic brownstones of Brooklyn, the ivy-clad halls of New England, and the rugged, lobster-rich coastline of Maine. It is the cultural heartbeat of the nation, offering endless layers of art, fashion, and history.

2. The California Coast

Stretching from the misty forests of the north to the sun-soaked beaches of the south, California is a world unto itself. Drive the Pacific Coast Highway through Big Sur, explore the vineyards of Napa Valley, or soak in the creative energy of San Francisco and Los Angeles. It is the ultimate playground for dreamers and adventurers alike.

3. The National Parks of the West

The “Great American West” is home to some of the world’s most dramatic natural wonders. From the geysers of Yellowstone and the granite spires of Yosemite to the vast, ochre depths of the Grand Canyon and the red rocks of Zion, these protected lands offer a glimpse into the raw, prehistoric beauty of the continent.

4. The Deep South & New Orleans

For a journey of the soul, head south. New Orleans is a sensory explosion of jazz, Creole cuisine, and Gothic mystery. Beyond the “Big Easy,” you’ll find the moss-draped oaks of Savannah, the musical heritage of Nashville and Memphis, and the pristine, white-sand shores of the Gulf Coast.

5. The Hawaiian Islands

A tropical paradise unlike any other. Each island offers a different rhythm—from the volcanic landscapes of the Big Island and the dramatic cliffs of Kauai’s Napali Coast to the legendary surf of Oahu’s North Shore. Hawaii is a sanctuary of Polynesian culture and breathtaking natural beauty.

Highlights of a Tour Through the USA

  • The Great American Road Trip: Whether it’s Route 66 or the Blue Ridge Parkway, nothing captures the American spirit like a convertible, a map, and the open highway.
  • A Cultural Pilgrimage: From the Smithsonian museums in Washington D.C. to the neon lights of Broadway, the USA is a global leader in the arts and sciences.
  • The Culinary Mosaic: Taste your way through the country—from authentic Texas BBQ and Maine lobster rolls to the Michelin-starred innovations of San Francisco and Chicago.

Essential Travel Tips

  • When to go: Due to its size, the USA is a year-round destination. Summer is perfect for the National Parks and the northern states, while autumn offers the world-famous “Fall Colors” in New England. Winter is the time for skiing in the Rockies or basking in the sun in Florida or Arizona.
  • Getting around: While the major cities are well-connected by rail and air, a car is essential for exploring the vast landscapes and small towns that make up the heart of the country.
  • Etiquette: Tipping is an integral part of American culture; 18-22% is standard for good service in restaurants, bars, and taxis.
  • Entry Requirements: Most international visitors require an ESTA (Electronic System for Travel Authorization) or a visa before arrival. Ensure your documentation is in order well in advance.
