Introduction
The United States is a great and fantastic travel destination where the possibilities are enormous and almost endless. It is also a country with great variation in both culture and nature, and this is experienced in the 48 states from the Atlantic coast to the Pacific coast and in the remote states of Alaska and Hawaii.
New York has been the gateway to the United States for many settlers and tourists, and it is also the city many visit as the first in the United States. New York is tall, big and exuberant, and everywhere you meet new things 24/7. Similar great moments can be enjoyed in many of the country's other big cities as i.e. Chicago, Miami, San Francisco and Los Angeles.
The east coast from political-cultural New England and Washington to laid-back and tropical Miami has almost everything to offer. Big cities, beautiful scenery, historical sites and some of the world's finest museums which are located in Washington with the Smithsonian Institution.
Throughout the country, the Midwest and the Rocky Mountains, you reach the Pacific Ocean with fashionable Los Angeles and the beautifully located San Francisco. Before then, there are national parks such as the Grand Canyon and Yellowstone to experience. Not to forget the rainforests and volcanos of The Pacific Northwest, the Great State of Alaska and Pacific dreams in Hawaiian Islands.
