Destinations
United States
From the skyscrapers of New York City to the scenic country roads of New England, The United States of America is a place of beauty and of unprecedented diversity. Visit the glorious Golden Gate Bridge, the famous Empire State Building, the Iconic Statue of Liberty and catch a glimpse of the lights of Las Vegas! Not to mention the country's natural treasures: the many national parks with beautiful landscapes and wildlife. The beaches on both the east and west coasts are also well worth a visit. The United States is a country of such vast dimensions that a lifetime in the United States can still feel like you have barely seen any of the country.
New York City
From the skyscrapers of Wall Street to Times Square and the beautiful trails of Central Park, New York is often considered the heart of the United States. You will find incredible galleries and museums, some of the best restaurants and the world's most iconic buildings. The Big Apple's vibrant cultural scene provides an unparalleled experience for visitors. There is so much to see and do that it is impossible to explore every cultural highlight in a single trip. Visitors with limited time are best to focus on the main attractions: the Statue of Liberty, MoMa and the Empire State Building, while visitors with more time can explore the city's lesser-known neighbourhoods and surrounding green spaces. No matter how you choose to spend your time and no matter what exactly you hope for, New York is guaranteed to exceed even the highest expectations.
New York
New York, in the northeastern part of the United States, is a state characterised by drastic contrasts and intriguing contradictions. While buzzing New York City pulses with population density and energetic intensity, the rest of the state - commonly referred to as simply 'upstate' - dwarfs the city in size and features some exquisite rolling hills and quiet countryside. This picturesque landscape is dotted with quaint little towns, glorious forested mountains, bountiful historical attractions, and an array of natural delights including the famed Niagara Falls, a 12 000-year-old wonder that is awesome in every sense of the word. Other must-see attractions include Times Square, the Statue of Liberty, the 9/11 memorial, Lake Placid in the Adirondack Mountains, and the beautiful Finger Lakes region.
