AMERICA TRAVEL GUIDE
Just as its not possible to simply visit Europe or Asia properly in one go because of their size, the same applies to America - or the United States or America - to give it its full title. Around the size of Europe with a population of around 320 million people, you will only be able to see a small slice of this great country on any one visit. It definitely has something for every taste - you just need to find where your interest lies.
Whilst everyone is different, below is an outline of the most popular destinations for us Brits when heading across the Pond.

AMERICA HIGHLIGHTS - Popular Places to Visit
- New York: New York City is the UK’s favourite long-haul destination. You won’t get bored on Manhatten Island with its many attractions including the Empire State Building, Times Square, some amazing museums and Central Park. Trips over Brooklyn Bridge or taking the free Staten Island ferry past the Statue of Liberty are further highlights.
- Florida: Orlando is very popular for family holidays with us Brits and along with the great weather, one of the main attractions are the great theme parks on offer, including Walt Disney World Resort, SeaWorld and Universal Studios Florida. Miami is also an ideal destination if you are looking for great beaches and good nightlife.

Close to stunning nature, Denver in Colorado is popular. In the north-west, there’s Seattle (only a few hours drive away from Vancouver in Canada). And down in Texas, Dallas and nearby Forth Worth offer southern hospitality, as does New Orleans in neighboring Louisiana.
