Washington, the capital of the United States of America, is located on the Potomac River. In comparison with such ancient historical cities as, for example, Rome, London, Moscow or Paris, Washington is quite young. The capital owes much to the first President of the USA - George Washington. It was G. Washington, who chose the place for the capital and laid in 1790 the corner-stone of the Capitol, where Congress sits. Washington has many historical places. The largest and highest among the buildings is the Capitol with its great House of Representatives and the Senate chamber. There are no sky-scrapers in Washington because no other building must be higher than the Capitol.

New York is the largest city in the USA and the largest sea-port. It is located in the mouth of the Hudson River. New York was founded by the Dutch. It is interesting to know that Manhattan Island - the central part of New York - was bought from the local Indians by the Dutch for 24 dollars. That was the most profitable commercial deal in the US history. Today Manhattan is the heart of business and commercial life of the country. New York is the city of skyscrapers. The highest of them is the 102-storeyed building. There are many other places of interest in New York: Central Park, Times Square, Rockefeller Center, the shopping districts and the United Nations Building. In Manhattan, at Broadway, there is Columbia University, one of the biggest universities of the USA.

America is a majestic country that attracts millions of tourists every year. Life is not enough to travel around all the most interesting corners of this country and look at all its sights. the site invites you to familiarize yourself with the ten most popular tourist cities in America, which are worth visiting at least once in your life.

New York is a city of great opportunities

New York is the unofficial capital of the USA. The city is one of the largest in the world, as well as the economic and cultural center of the United States. The city includes five boroughs: the Bronx, Brooklyn, Queens, Staten Island and Manhattan, where the main attractions are located. About 50 million tourists come to New York every year. Holidays here are expensive, but interesting. The average cost of hotel accommodation per night is about $300, but if you prepare for your trip in advance, you can find inexpensive guesthouses for $150-200 per night. You won’t be able to eat tasty and cheap food in New York, but mobile food kiosks are in great demand among travelers. In general, hot dogs, fast foods and Coca-Cola are the main travel companions of the average tourist. The situation is much more interesting with the local ones: Broadway theaters, the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the famous Times Square, Central Park (the most visited park in the USA) and, of course, the Statue of Liberty. In addition, New York is a real paradise for fashionistas; a huge number of branded boutiques are concentrated here on 5th Avenue, and Christmas and summer sales have been heard all over the world. So everyone should visit this metropolis at least once in their life.

Los Angeles - a city of entertainment

Los Angeles is a major global center for the entertainment industry. The city is relatively young, so there are no world-famous architectural monuments here, but its calling card is the developed film industry, and you can easily meet celebrities on the beaches. Millions of tourists come to Los Angeles to see with their own eyes “the happiest place on earth” - Disneyland, as well as to soak up the light ocean breeze on Long Beach and visit the main attraction of the city - Universal Studios. There are always a lot of tourists here, because everyone wants to see with their own eyes how cool Hollywood action films are filmed. A must-see tourist destination is a visit to the famous “Walk of Fame” located on Hollywood Boulevard. Tourists always visit Beverly Hills, where many movie stars live. Be sure to visit the main street of the city - Sunset Boulevard, where the old Warner brothers studio is located and the Sunset Strip, where you can taste the beauty of Los Angeles nightlife.

Beverly Hills is the richest city

The Californian city of Beverly Hills is familiar to many thanks to the legendary youth series "Beverly Hills, 90210". It was there that they glorified the golden youth and luxurious life in Beverly. If you walk the streets of Beverly Hills, you will see a lot of interesting things. The houses here are cozy, the people are carefree, the cars are expensive. And although they say that Beverly’s wealth is rather far-fetched and promoted by the media, seeing a Bentley convertible or a Mercedes S-Class driving along the road is not a problem. Surprisingly, the people who live here are good-natured, they don’t hide their houses behind a high fence, and their yards are always green and well-groomed. Those who want to enjoy shopping should definitely visit Rodeo Drive - here you will find boutiques of world famous brands and expensive restaurants where you can taste the delights of local cuisine.

Miami - the city of beach pleasures

When we talk about Miami, we mean Miami Beach - one of the most prestigious resorts in the world. The richest people on the planet, world stars and financial tycoons are located here. This is a small paradise on earth with snow-white beaches, a total length of 16 kilometers, with huge palm trees lined up right next to the ocean. Holidays in Miami are luxurious, everyone here works for your comfort. Along the beach you can find a hotel for every taste and budget, and when you finally get to the beach, you can fully experience all the splendor of this area. Nightlife on the island is in full swing - there are numerous nightclubs, bars and other entertainment venues. Due to the fact that people come to Miami mainly for new experiences and acquaintances, the beaches are practically free until lunchtime. A bright, friendly atmosphere reigns in the city all year round, so those who are tired of the noise come here. Life in Miami is an endless holiday, which makes the city an excellent alternative to business New York.

San Francisco is the freest city

The city is named after the Catholic saint Francis of Assisi. The standard of living in San Francisco is high, and housing is expensive. Even in poor neighborhoods, living standards have improved significantly during the Internet revolution. The basis of San Francisco's economy is tourism: the city ranks fifth in the United States in terms of the number of foreign visitors and is one of the ten best cities in the world, and just a hundred years ago it was almost completely destroyed by a powerful earthquake. San Francisco is very diverse; here on the streets you can meet poor people, hippies and representatives of sexual minorities, who make up about 15% of the city's population. Among the main attractions it is worth noting the famous hills (there are more than 50 of them in San Francisco), Chinatown with its exotic shops and Golden Gate Park, which is larger in size even than Central Park in New York.

Washington is the most dangerous city

Washington is the capital of the United States, it is not part of any state and was named after George Washington, the first American president. All US federal authorities are located here. They say that this city is not at all like American cities. Perhaps this is due to the fact that its construction back in 1790 was carried out by the French architect Pierre Lanfant. The main attraction for every tourist is, of course, the White House. True, it is almost impossible to get there on a tour, unless the president himself invites you. Unlike other American cities, there are practically no high-rise buildings in Washington. But there are many historical, cultural and museum monuments (the Capitol, the White House, the Aerospace Museum, memorials to Lincoln, Jefferson and Roosevelt), located relatively close to each other and absolutely free, which is undoubtedly a plus. Well, and, of course, Washington has its own Chinese town. Compared to similar ones in San Francisco, they say it is very boring and monotonous, but with cheap eateries. If you're planning a trip to Washington, don't forget about the high crime rate. And when going for a walk, leave valuables at the hotel.

Las Vegas is the most gambling city

The city's bright lights and hospitality attract tourists from all over the world. The holiday city with stunning neon fountains will be one of the most unforgettable adventures of your life. It’s not for nothing that Hollywood films so often show Las Vegas with its bachelor parties and endless gambling. The city is home to more than eighty casinos, several thousand gaming pavilions, luxury hotels and other entertainment venues. It's not just about rustling banknotes and hunting for jackpots. Many world celebrities come to Las Vegas for concerts. The lights here shine so brightly that even at night it is always light. It’s scary to even imagine how much electricity is burned in order to attract gambling people. And almost every second person dreams of getting rich in an instant. 25 million tourists come here every year in hopes of catching their luck by the tail.

Hawaii - heaven on earth

When traveling around America, you must visit at least once. This world famous resort is popular among both ordinary people and celebrities. It is located in the very center of the Pacific Ocean. Hawaii is known for its national traditions, the indigenous people are very friendly, and the notorious “aloha” can be heard at every step. This area is especially popular among surfers, and the long sandy beaches and clear ocean water are ideal for diving and windsurfing. Holidays in Hawaii are like a paradise for tourists. Here you will find hotels - from the most exquisite to quite affordable, and tropical blue lagoons, and waterfalls, and even active volcanoes. Here you can disappear into nature and enjoy every moment of a wonderful holiday.

Chicago - the city of skyscrapers

Chicago is the third largest city in terms of population (after New York and Los Angeles), which is called “Greater Chicago”. It is the largest economic and political center in the world. Chicago is located on the shores of Lake Michigan. The city is famous for its huge number of skyscrapers: five of the ten tallest buildings in the United States are located here. And his skyscraper, the Sears Tower, was taller than the famous Twin Towers in New York. On the 103rd floor (there are 110 in total) there is a glass observation deck, which offers an amazing view of the city panorama. Tourists come here to admire the legendary Water Tower, built in 1867 and the only one that survived the fire in 1871. It still provides water to almost 400 thousand people in the northern part of the city. The beaches along Lake Michigan attract the attention of tourists, and picturesque parks line the business districts. So, after thoroughly enjoying your walk around Chicago, you can have a picnic on some lawn.

Houston is a city of cowboys

Houston is the largest city in the state of Texas. According to the results of numerous studies, it was included in the ranking of the most convenient cities in the world to live in. Houston is a multicultural city, with many Mexicans (due to its proximity to the south of the Mexican border) and Asians living here. First of all, this city is interesting for tourists for its world-famous Rodeo festival. About two million tourists visit wild bull racing every year. This sport is very dangerous, but the earnings of the most daring and famous cowboys sometimes reach 100 thousand dollars. True, most of this money is often spent on treatment after. Houston is famous not only for the Rodeo - every year the city hosts the largest gay night festival, as well as an art car parade. For those who prefer a more relaxing holiday, we recommend visiting a shopping center in Texas, the Houston Zoo or a water park.

The United States of America (USA) is one of the largest countries in the world. In terms of territory size, it ranks 4th after Russia, Canada and China. The state consists of 50 subjects: 49 administrative units - states and Colombia, which is recognized as the Federal District. It is in Colombia that the country's main capital is located.
