American holidays
American holidays take in a country so vast its scenery ranges from snow-capped mountains, to parched desert plains. The best way to plan holidays to America is to pick between a bustling city break, scenic beach or majestic National Park and visit the surrounding state. North America hotels are as varied as the fifty states, but you’re sure to find service with a smile and super-sized rooms in every one.
American holidays seem tailor-made for fly drive or multi-centre trips, with the legendary romance of Route 66, wide-open roads, and efficient hire cars. If you do need to pick one place for your holidays to America, here’s a quick guide:
The most family friendly holidays to America are in the famed theme parks and mega-resorts in Orlando, Florida and Anaheim, California. With year round sunshine, massive shopping malls and thrill-seeking rides, there’s also enough to keep Mum and Dad happy.
Holidays to America offer so much variety. For city chic head for the bright lights and Hollywood glamour of Los Angeles, the enormous Las Vegas hotels and glitzy casinos, and New York, New York – so brash, bold and big, they named it twice.
Some of the most unique America holidays are in the cosmopolitan cities that come complete with a sun-drenched beach. You’ll get the best of both worlds in hip hot spots like Miami, San Diego or San Francisco, where California Dreamin’ is a way of life.
