Travel tips and inspiration
The USA combines vibrant cities, endless highways, long coastlines and some of the world’s best-known national parks. New York City impresses with its skyline and famous neighbourhoods, while other regions offer road trips, remarkable landscapes and cities with completely different personalities. Our USA travel tips include personal stories and practical advice for major highlights and memorable experiences.
Distances between destinations are often substantial. A rental car works well for many regional routes, while domestic flights are more practical when places lie far apart. Climate, landscapes and ideal travel seasons vary considerably between the East Coast, the South, the West Coast and the mountain states. It therefore makes sense to focus each trip on selected states or a clearly planned route.
We share worthwhile places, personal experiences and useful planning advice. This helps you judge which stops work well together, how much time you need and where quieter discoveries await beyond the famous sights.

A rental car offers freedom on regional routes. For destinations that are far apart, domestic flights can save several days of travel.
Best time to visit
Seasons and climate vary considerably. New York, Florida and the Southwest therefore have different ideal periods for a visit.
Trip planning
Many stops look closer on a map than they really are. Plan driving times realistically and leave room for breaks and spontaneous discoveries.
