United States
From New York’s bright lights to the vast stretches of national parks, the United States blends city energy with wild landscapes.
Introducing United States
The United States offers a patchwork of experiences: stroll the bustling streets of New York City, embrace Hollywood glamour on Los Angeles’s Sunset Boulevard, then escape to Arizona’s Grand Canyon or California’s sequoia forests. From Atlantic shores to Southwestern deserts, each region tells its own tale of striking scenery and wide-open horizons.

Currency
The U.S. uses the U.S. dollar (USD). Credit cards are widely accepted; carry cash for tips and small purchases in rural areas.
Cuisine
Don’t miss a classic cheeseburger in a steakhouse, New England clam chowder, Chicago deep-dish pizza, and Southern soul food.
Transport
Public transit is reliable in major cities; for interstate travel, consider domestic flights or rent a car for a classic road trip.
Tipping etiquette
Tipping is expected: leave 15–20% in restaurants, $1–2 for bartenders, and 10–15% for taxi and ride-share drivers.
When to go
Spring (April–June) and autumn (September–October) bring mild weather and colorful foliage, perfect for cities and parks. Summer is ideal for coastal escapes, winter for ski resorts.
