Best USA city breaks
Boston
The largest city in New England and the capital of Massachusetts, Boston is one of the oldest cities in the US with a heritage that dates back to 1630. It still retains many of its European links to this day and hosts one of the most popular St Patrick’s Day celebrations in the world.
Las Vegas
The bright-light city that sets souls on fire, Las Vegas, Nevada has always embraced and embodied the spirit of living an outrageously loud and lavish lifestyle. Its casinos, nightlife and live music events are some of the best in the world and each year Las Vegas attracts both high rollers and low-cost holiday seekers alike.
Los Angeles
LA is a hugely diverse city from the beaches of Santa Monica and Long Beach to the San Fernando Valley and the mountains of Sierra Madre. Holidays to Los Angeles enjoy the golden sunshine of California, a city overflowing with attractions to suit both families and couples.
Miami
An eclectic juke box of culture, Miami is as famous for its vibrant nightlife, excellent beaches and unique culture as it is for its deep sea fishing and Everglades tours.
New Orleans
A city known as much for its eclecticism as for its musical and culinary heritage, New Orleans holidays enjoy some of the very best attractions and atmosphere in America’s Deep South.
New York
The most popular city stop in the United States, New York is the centre of shopping, theatre, restaurants and nightlife. Just a short flight away makes it ideal for a few nights on its own or the first stop on a longer trip.
Orlando
As home to the Walt Disney World resort, Orlando can get sometimes overlooked. However, it offers a lot more with a blend of its own culture and surrounding towns that offer a more historical taste of the old Florida.
San Francisco
Linked by its two iconic bridges from Oakland in the east and the Golden Gate National Park in the north, the eclectic and vibrant San Francisco sits on a peninsula springing up from San Jose.
Washington D.C.
As home to the White House, Capitol Hill and being the capital of the US, Washington D.C. holidays enjoy a level of historical culture and political monuments that are second-to-none.
