New York and San Francisco, the Grand Canyon and the national parks of the West

Most travellers begin in New York. Our specialists typically suggest 8–14 nights to see the highlights without rushing — longer if you’d like to combine regions or add beach time.

The largest city in the United States, spread across five boroughs on the islands and shores of New York Harbor. Manhattan holds the famous skyline, Broadway and Central Park, while Brooklyn, Queens, the Bronx and Staten Island add their own neighbourhoods, beaches and food.
A national park of about 4,900 square kilometres in northern Arizona, protecting the canyon the Colorado River has carved into the Colorado Plateau over about 445 kilometres. The gorge averages around 1,200 metres deep and exposes rock layers that UNESCO describes as a geological record of some two billion years.
A national park of nearly 1,200 square miles in California's Sierra Nevada, known above all for Yosemite Valley with its sheer granite walls, Half Dome, El Capitan and tall waterfalls. It also protects giant sequoia groves, high meadows and a vast wilderness, and is a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
A suspension bridge across the Golden Gate, the strait linking San Francisco Bay with the Pacific Ocean, carrying US Highway 101 between San Francisco and Marin County. Opened in 1937, it was then the longest and tallest suspension bridge in the world, and its colour, towers and frequent wreaths of fog have made it the emblem of the city.
Landmarks, sacred sites, islands, parks and food streets — each with its story, the best time to go and what’s nearby.
