About traveling to the United States
The United States is simultaneously one of the most familiar and most surprising destinations in the world — familiar because American culture exports so aggressively, surprising because the country is so much more varied and complex in person than any single image of it suggests. New York City is a world unto itself: five boroughs, eight million people, and a density of culture, food, and energy that's unlike anywhere else. New Orleans has a music and food culture rooted in African, French, and Caribbean traditions that feels genuinely distinct from the rest of the country. The American Southwest — the Grand Canyon, Zion, Bryce Canyon, Monument Valley — is some of the most dramatic landscape on earth. The Pacific Coast Highway from San Francisco to Los Angeles is one of the great road trips in the world. And the national park system, from Yellowstone to the Everglades to Acadia, protects landscapes of extraordinary beauty and scale.
The blog content on this page covers city guides, national park itineraries, road trip routes, and practical tips for exploring the world's most geographically and culturally diverse country. Browse the posts below to start planning.
