The USA offers very different holidays depending on where you go. This guide groups ideas by travel style, so you can match your trip to your interests and your region.
New York City's landmarks sit in a dense urban centre, where public transit is usually the most efficient option. Washington, D.C. offers museums and monuments in one city. Chicago is known for its architecture. Plan one city per stay, and keep a free day in each for rest and your own choices. Our USA East Coast 9N package covers New York City and Washington, D.C.
California's road-trip routes and cities suit travellers who want to drive. Outside major cities, a rental car is often easiest, especially in the West, because intercity public transport can be limited. The national parks suit nature lovers: fall is especially popular for parks, while summer suits high-country parks. Our USA West Coast 10N package includes Yosemite.
Orlando's theme parks suit families with children, and Miami's beaches suit a relaxed beach stay. Summer is strong for beaches, but July and August are hot across much of the country, so plan outdoor time with care. Our USA Family with Orlando Parks 10N package combines Orlando and Miami.
In major cities, use subways, commuter rail, buses, rideshares and taxis. Outside cities, a rental car is often the easiest option. Check the transport options for each region before you plan your days.
