From sea to shining sea, the USA is a top tourist destination. But with so many wonderful places, deciding where to go is challenging.

Many tourists to the USA first visit New York, and the Empire State Building is a must-see. From a pub crawl to the top of the 86th-floor observation deck, visitors to the Big Apple can treat themselves to spectacular views of the city.

No holiday in the USA is complete without a trip to the capital, Washington, D.C., with its many monuments and museums. Here, visitors can get a taste of the city by bus, on foot, or, for the more adventurous, on a Segway.

For travelers to the southwest, Las Vegas and the nearby Grand Canyon are not to be missed. Those who want to do more than just gamble can see the Las Vegas Strip in all its neon glory on a night helicopter flight, and airborne views of the magnificent vistas of the Grand Canyon will leave visitors in awe.

Tourists to California can see San Francisco's iconic Golden Gate Bridge. And for the starstruck, a Hollywood movie tour of popular bars or the famous Mann's Chinese Theater is just the ticket.

Take a tour of the USA – it's unforgettable!
