The name evokes images of the flashing bill boards of Time's Square, that iconic lady holding high her eternal torch, the Brooklyn bridge, Central Park and the trendsetting fashion of the world. Start a gastronomic affair at top restaurants, visit the Contemporary Art Center, the Bowery Ballroom, go shopping, and stay at the top hotels money can buy.

Hollywood celebrities and the walk of fame, body builders on Venice beach and sports cars, Los Angeles is a world of its own and better experienced than seen on TV.

Chicago contradicts that big cities in the USA cannot be friendly. It has great museums to explore, lovely beaches and of course Lake Michigan. Go watch a baseball match, visit the Volvo museum and take your picture in the Batmobile.

This is where the kids want to go and where you can be a kid again.

If Frank Sinatra lost his heart in San Francisco it has to say something for the city of the Golden Gate and its beautiful bay. It is not as large as some other major cities of the United States so its easier to explore.

We suggest booking hotel accommodation in the French Quarter, the oldest part of this culturally diverse and historical city. It is the best place for tourist to stay when you want to explore the jazz bars, museums, do shop hopping or partake in a colorful festival. The Central business district is next door and has many worthwhile attractions and accommodation.
