When people talk about the United States of America, there are a few obvious places that come to mind, but there are many other wonderful cities across America that get completely overlooked. There is such a wide range of cultures, traditions and atmospheres across each of the states, making it difficult to narrow down the places that you absolutely must visit. So, if you are struggling to decide where within the United States you would like to visit, here are six of the most beautiful cities which should definitely be at the top of your list of places to travel to.
New York City
This might be an obvious choice, but it is also a city that absolutely cannot be overlooked. Why not take a picnic in Central Park, check a resale ticket marketplace to discover what’s on at Madison Square Garden, or go to a game at the Yankee Stadium? With some eye-catching and infamous landmarks, from the Statue of Liberty to Times Square, as well as some amazing people, activities and food, The Big Apple is a place where dreams definitely do come true.
Chicago
Chicago is a place which is very similar to New York in both size and population, and yet it is a place which is spectacular of its own accord. From a fantastic skyline to amenities which offer the best of shopping, museums and art galleries, Chicago is a place not to be missed off your bucket list.
Washington DC
If you want to visit the heart of the United States, where else is best to travel to than this notorious location? With more free museums than you could possibly visit, this is a perfect city to soak up some history on a budget and learn more about the US heritage. Plus, witness the spectacular beauty along the Tidal Basin if you travel during the cherry blossom blooming season from March to April.
New Orleans
New Orleans is a place rooted in a rich culture and love of good music. This is a place where you can expect to find a range of people, including both American and international travellers. From Mardi Gras to Jazz Fest, New Orleans loves a good party, and they are all about the festivals, so if you are looking for an all-round good time, this city is the place for you.
Hawaii
A lot of tourists forget that Hawaii is actually a State of America, but it is definitely an island which should not be so overlooked. It has some of the most beautiful beaches and rich greenery that you can imagine, perfect for the person who is looking to leave all of their troubles behind and just enjoy a relaxing holiday like no other.
Philadelphia
Philly is often unnoticed in its importance, despite having been the capital of the US before Washington, as well as being the only city in the US to be named an UNESCO World Heritage City. It is a city that can be easily enjoyed on a budget too, so it’s a great place to go if you’re looking to keep costs low.
