A reader from Brazil recently wrote to us asking for some advice. He’s planning a trip to the United States, and wanted to know about the best places to travel in America. Today, we are going to give you some information which may help you when choosing your destination.
Each of the 50 states in America has interesting things to offer visitors, but some are more popular than others. Washington, DC is famous for its historical places, like the White House and the Lincoln Memorial. Visitors to Los Angeles, California can see the Hollywood Walk of Fame or shop the stores on Rodeo Drive where they may see a star or two. The Grand Canyon in Arizona appeals to hikers, climbers and nature lovers, as does Yellowstone National Park in Wyoming.
TripAdvisor is a website where people can write reviews about their travel experiences. Brooke Ferencsik of TripAdvisor said the top picks on the list were not surprising. And it’s no secret that New York City was named the number one destination.
New York City is sometimes called "the city that never sleeps". It is an exciting place for many people. But the city might be too busy for travellers looking for rest and calm. They might want something more like Myrtle Beach, in the state of South Carolina, which made it number 21 on Trip Advisor's list.
“A lot of people come to Myrtle Beach for great weather; it’s a wonderful family vacation spot; the beaches—got the wonderful Atlantic beaches there there are a lot of family-friendly parks and water parks."
Because there are many tourists visiting other places, June until August is known as “high season”. Travelling during the high season can he crowded. Hotels, restaurants, and transportation might also be very expensive.
If you want to save money on a trip, it is a good idea to plan to leave before or after the summer months. These times are known as "shoulder seasons" for travel.
"If you’re looking for value,try and think about travelling through the shoulder season if it's possible—the shoulder season being the fall or the spring. The weather is still very good in some of these destinations, and you can get better prices. ”
America’s major cities are still the most popular destinations for visitors. Ferencsik says this is because of the good quality of services they provide tourists with.
