5 Must Visit Places in the US

There is so much to do and see out there in the world, sometimes it is hard to know quite where to visit next isn’t it? 

Choosing your next travel destination is always a fun activity. However, it is also something that needs thought and research, such as remembering your ESTA application if you are heading to the US. 

While none of us has the exact same ideas on our travel bucket lists. I thought I would share 5 must-visit places in the USA, for me anyway.

Getting Prepared.

One thing to make sure you do before you head off on a holiday is to make sure you are prepared.

Check into the local weather at the time of year you are heading and remember to pack for all events. Just as the weather is mostly one way, it’s a good idea to have a cover-up to keep you dry and shielded from the wind just in case. 

Things like plug adaptors if need, plus luggage tags and maps of the area, can all be useful too. 

Of course, then comes your ESTA. It is well worth applying for an ESTA if you are heading to the US, they are cheaper to buy, easier to apply for and often come through in as little as 24 hours. 

However, if you don’t qualify for an ESTA, you can also look at a US Visa, so all is not lost! 

Grand Canyon.

Somewhere which has always caught my attention is the Grand Canyon. It is said to have some of the most awe-inspiring views in the US after all. 

This beautiful national park is based in Arizona and has a whole host of things to do and see.

From hiking (paths such as the Bright Angel and North Kaibab trails offer beautiful views.) to rafting and camping, there is something for everyone no matter what pursuits they would most like to try out.

It is worth noting that you can even camp around the edges of the Grand Canyon, while a number of lodges are available to book as well. However, these are booked out well in advance so make sure you get yourself booked in ASAP if this is something you would like to do.

Aspen.

Perhaps one of the most well-known ski resorts in the world Aspen is a must for everyone who likes heading down the slopes.

Aspen is located in Colorado and as well as having 4 mountains to choose from, it offers a luxury shopping culture. 

Allowing you to pick from high-end boutiques and trendy restaurants to explore between heading down the slopes. 

Aspen allows for skiers and snowboarders of any skill level, allowing you to learn or hone your skills more in this beautiful landscape. 

New York.

Perhaps one of the most diverse places in the US the Big Apple has so much to offer.

From world-renowned museums and art galleries to Broadway shows and Central Park. There is so much to do and see within New York and this only scrapes the surface.  

When it comes to mealtimes you will be spoilt for choice, with so many different eateries to choose from.

Don’t forget to visit Times Square and make your way across Brooklyn Bridge before heading out to see the Statue of Liberty. 

Your only issue might be finding the time to fit it all in. 

Las Vegas.

If you are all about the nightlife then Las Vegas has to be high on your list.

Offering a city where you can do almost anything from casinos to shows, to tours of the stunning red canyon and shopping in a whole host of boutiques.

What’s more, you could head down to the Hoover Dam, or go and visit the mod museum. What’s more, if you are brave enough you could even visit the most haunted museum in the world. 

The hardest decision you have might just be where do you start in this city that doesn’t sleep? 

Florida.

For those young and old, Florida has something to offer.

While Florida is perhaps best known for its theme parks, after all, it is home to Disney World and Universal Studios. Two places which never seem to run out of fun. 

This isn’t all it has to offer, from the stunning beaches such as Clear Water and the Florida Keys to the Kennedy Space Centre, this is a holiday location with so much to offer the whole family. 

One relatively undiscovered hidden gem is the beautiful beachside town of Marco Island.  Marco Island has many activities that are suitable for all types of travellers. Some of the best things to do in the area include relaxing on the picturesque beaches where you might just get the chance to see a tortoise or two freely roaming around, shelling for some of the most unique shells in Florida or taking a tour to see the amazing alien-like Cape Romano Dome Houses – an abandoned, sinking white house in the middle of the ocean.

If you want to look deeper into things to do, then natural sites such as the Florida Reef and Everglades National Park might be for you. 

Of course, no matter where you head in the US there are some amazing things to do and see, these are just a few locations that come to my mind. 

However, what about you, do you have a must-visit location within the US?
