The USA still has an indescribable attractiveness for people all over the world. You might think you know the country quite good from movies and television and your biggest wish might be to visit the US just one time and see all these things with your own eyes. Those, who haven’t been there jet dream of different places to visit and those who already have been there describes the US as one of their favorite place.
The diversity and large number of great places makes it difficult to create a Top 10 list for the US. Each city and every state has its own sights and for many people the lesser known spots are the most beautiful ones.
The special thing about America is that everyone arrives with a dream and everyone has his own and individual impressions. Most likely everyone has his own Top 10 list as well.
Nonetheless I want to list the most popular, best known and most exciting places you should visit one time in your life, so that you can give your opinion of your most favorite places in the future.
Top 1: New York
First in line is a very special city. No other city in the world is more popular than New York. The fast paced and vibrant metropolis is the location of countless movies and stories and offers numerous places to visit. For this city one should take some time. Of course one has to visit the most popular sights like the Statue of Liberty, the Empire State Building, the Wall Street, Ellis Island and the Times Square. But to really enjoy New York in all its facets it can also be great to just walk around different quarters, to visit the well-known Bohemian side of town, or to relax in Central Park.
There’s not much to say about the many famous sights, everyone has heard of them, seen them in pictures and every guide or webpage tells when and where to visit them. Although they are crowded and expensive one should visit them and have a look. Some tricks can often save money and nerves. The Statue of Liberty for example can be seen much better on a trip by boat with the ferry to Staten Island. Such a trip is included in the Metro ticket.
Top 2: Los Angeles/ Hollywood
LA is ranked among the most popular cities of the US. Feel like a star for one day and taste a little bit of the world of glamour, this is what tourists wish for when coming there. There are so many sights, that it takes several days to visit all of them. The Walk of Fame has to be visited as well as Venice Beach or Santa Monica Pier and the Dolby Theatre, where the Academy Awards ceremony takes place. A trip through Hollywood, passing the properties of the rich and the beautiful is another thing to do in Los Angeles. Who doesn’t want to have a small glimpse at the house of one’s favorite actor or singer.
There are also many amusement parks like Disneyland, the Pacific Park or the Universal Studios to spend some time, including cultural sites such as interesting museums.
Top 3: Las Vegas
This mythic city is truly magic, glamorous and full of dreams. Partying one night in hip night clubs, where one you meet a real star with some luck or spend the night in a casino enjoying the thrill of an exciting game.
Besides entertainment Las Vegas also has a great and exciting cultural scene. For those who like art the Las Vegas Art District south of Downtown is a must.
In Las Vegas it is possible to get immersed into a different world, a place of glamour and temptation. When leaving one can always look back with a smile.
