Our friends across the Atlantic are partying today celebrating their national day as the day that their nation came together to declare their Independence from Britain 239 years ago.
In recent years, Briton’s have enjoyed travelling to the US whether to see the sights of New York, the glorious golden west coast or a trip to the deep south – the country truly does offer something for everyone.
The Courier Travel has hand-picked our favourite tours to be used as a starting point, should you wish to visit.
Californian sunshine, stunning Pacific coastlines and visits to three of America’s most iconic cities – cosmopolitan San Francisco, starstruck Los Angeles and glitzy Vegas – as well as to the awesome Grand Canyon and stunning Yosemite – make this the trip of a lifetime.
The Deep South is renowned for its gracious hospitality, its charming southern drawl, its unique Creole and Cajun cuisine and, of course, the most popular music genres of the 20th century – jazz, rock n’ roll, the blues and country.
Every year, the millions of trees that shade the northeast corner of the USA signal the arrival of Fall with an explosion of red, purple and gold. Journey from Manhattan Island to Boston and beautiful New England, you’ll witness their splendour, framed against the still-blue skies.
Discover the sights that informed the soundtrack to our lives. Travel from Motown’s birthplace in Detroit to Cleveland’s Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and bustling, blues-city Chicago.
