Across the fifty states, thousands of experiences are waiting for you. The kind of holiday you choose will depend on your interest, budget and time.
We have compiled a list of the ten quintessential activities that you cannot miss during your holiday in the land of the free and home of the brave.
Indulge in a very Vegas holiday
Las Vegas is the home to some of the biggest casinos. From replicas of the Taj Mahal to the glittery nights on the strip; you will find plenty to see enjoy and remember. It is the “City of Sin,” thanks to the numerous high-end bars, casinos, pubs, and hotels.
Take up a true challenge
Throughout the USA you will find plenty of Guinness Book worthy burgers, sandwiches and hotdog. Eating a massive amount of food has always been the most favorite way to make it to the world records. Plus, there is no better way to fight off a Vegas hangover than a ginormous bowl of ice cream (The Kitchen Sink Challenge) at California’s San Francisco Creamery Co.
Revisit your childhood
Walt Disney World and the scores of theme parks in Florida call for the lost childhood of every adult. These are the perfect places to be if you have kids with you. Florida is your must-visit state if you are traveling with family.
Sway with the jazzy tunes
To experience soulful America, you need to pay a visit to the French Quarters of New Orleans. Apart from the great music and culture, you can treat yourself to the mélange cuisine unique to that place. If you are in time for the Mardi Gras parade, do not forget to book your hotel in advance.
Quicken the pace with thoroughbred races
After jazz, it is time for some thrill. Drive down to Churchill Downs, Kentucky for experiencing the biggest competition in the history of horseracing. Soak in the excitement, smell the joy in the air and stand close to the winners as they finish the most important race of the Triple Crown. It is nothing compared to the regular TVG experiences.
Grove and jive at the music festivals
Newport, Rhode Island is the land of year-round music festivals. Folk music, jazz, blues, rock ‘n’ roll, metal, hard rock and every other genre of music thrives right here at the live music scene.
Riding down the snow
Christmas carols have always been close to our hearts, and there is no better way to do it than Santa. Ride down the snow-covered mountains at Colorado. Book adventure sports including snowboarding, sledding, skiing and paragliding for the essential adrenaline rush.
Surfing with the white waves
Not a mountain person? No problem! The USA has enough emerald waters and white beaches for you. Travel down to Hawaii for some surf and turf. It is never a wrong time to grab a board and paddle into the blue.
The composure of the city life
Maybe you want a break from all the partying and nature walks. Then it is time for you to give Chicago a chance. It is the second biggest city, but it has the world’s most beautiful skyline. Watch the sun go down from the Space Needle, take a walk across the pier, and explore the city by yourself for a soulful experience.
Bite the Big Apple
No US tour is complete without a visit of the New York City. Times Square, Broadway, Central Park, Museum of Modern Art and Michelin Star restaurants make NYC a must-visit for every American traveler.
Picking just ten things to do in the USA is never going to be easy, but we hope this list will help you set up your priorities for your upcoming holiday.
