The United States of America, with its rich history, cultural diversity and breathtaking scenery, has always held a special fascination for the rest of the world...
Before delving into the specific reasons why so many people choose to vacation here, it’s essential to understand why such a craze persists for this nation.
Historically, the USA has been perceived as the “New World”, a land of opportunity and dreams, where anything seems possible. This optimism, coupled with a formidable capacity for innovation, has given rise to cultural icons, artistic movements and technological advances that have shaped the modern world. Hollywood, Silicon Valley, Broadway, jazz, blues, rock’n’roll… all have their origins in this country.
What’s more, the USA has always been at the forefront of tourism promotion, using film, television, music and literature to spread a glamorous and attractive image of the country. Who, after seeing a film or series, hasn’t dreamed of walking the streets of New York, surfing the Californian waves or venturing into the vast expanses of the Wild West?
The unique blend of old and new, tradition and innovation, wilderness and bustling metropolis makes the United States a destination of choice for all types of travelers. With this backdrop in mind, let’s take a closer look at five of the most compelling reasons why the USA should be at the top of your vacation destination list.
1. A breathtaking diversity of landscapes
From the Grand Canyon in Arizona to the golden beaches of California, from the rocky mountains of Colorado to the glittering skyscrapers of New York, the United States offers an incredible range of natural and urban landscapes. You can spend a vacation skiing in Vermont, surfing in Hawaii or exploring the vast plains of the Midwest. Each state has its own unique beauty to offer, guaranteeing an unforgettable adventure.
2. A cultural melting pot
The United States is a land of immigrants, and this is reflected in its rich and varied culture. From jazz music in New Orleans, to Latin influences in Miami, to Native American traditions in the Southwest, tourists can experience a true cultural odyssey without ever leaving the country. What’s more, with cities like New York, Los Angeles and Chicago, lovers of art, theater and music will be well catered for.
3. Iconic attractions
Who hasn’t dreamed of seeing the Statue of Liberty, walking the Hollywood Walk of Fame or gambling at the casino in Las Vegas? The United States is brimming with iconic monuments, parks and attractions that are part of the world’s popular culture. Here’s your chance to experience these “postcard” moments for real.
4. Varied gastronomic experiences
American cuisine is often reduced to fast food, but this ignores the country’s culinary richness. Whether you’re looking for the best pizza in New York, authentic Texas barbecue or fine Californian cuisine, there’s something for every palate. Not to mention Napa Valley wines, Portland craft beers and New Orleans cocktails.
5. Road trip possibilities
The United States is road trip country par excellence. With a well-developed road network and attractions scattered all over the country, it’s the ideal place to rent a car or motorhome and set off on an adventure. The legendary Route 66, the Pacific Coast Highway and the Blue Ridge Parkway are just some of the legendary routes that await you.
The popularity of the United States is not simply the result of good marketing or an omnipresent media presence. It’s a country that, over the decades, has managed to seduce with its ability to blend dream and reality, offering an incomparable tourist experience.
