What is the first thing that comes to mind when you hear about America? The Statue of Liberty, the "Thundering Waters" of unforgettable Niagara, or the glitter of New York. The associations the mind conjures up are countless. 'The land of unlimited opportunities' presents its many faces over an area of 9.6 million square kilometers, lying between exotic Mexico and the second-largest country in the world – Canada. The United States has always had all the necessary elements to leave lasting impressions on the minds of its visitors. The challenges this country has in store spark the interest of millions of visitors.
Washington D.C. – Welcome to America
Washington DC, the capital of the USA, deservedly holds its place among the most attractive places in America. The millions of tourists who arrive in Washington every year are not disappointed. The city is one of the most beautiful places in the USA and one of the richest in historical monuments. In the very center of the city there are many interesting museums and attractions, galleries and nature parks, but the main landmarks such as the White House, Georgetown and the Capitol are crowded all year round with curious tourists from every corner of the planet.
Niagara – a grand experience!
There is hardly anyone who would not want to become part of the thrilling spectacle called Niagara Falls. Niagara is also called "Ongiara", which in a Native American language means "thundering noise". The natural wonder is also known as the "Honeymoon Capital of the World". The magnetism and charm of Niagara bring together three waterfalls – the Horseshoe Falls, the American Falls and the smaller Bridal Veil Falls. The natural attraction draws 14 million visitors a year and is among the most coveted destinations in the world.
New York – the city of dreams!
New York – defying classification, intriguing, dynamic, different. One of the largest cities in the world, one of the most important and powerful financial and communications centers, a city of many dimensions and faces. This city is a source of never-ending emotions, intertwining cultures and races, towering gleaming skyscrapers, entertainment, venues and temptations. The inexhaustible energy of this unique place makes life buzz. Manhattan is what most people picture when they think of New York. The upscale neighborhood is home to popular restaurants where an evening can turn into a sleepless night.
Las Vegas – "Sin City"!
Las Vegas without a doubt lives up to its title of 'Entertainment Capital of the World'. Las Vegas is famous for its numerous casinos, lavish hotels and buildings, varied adult entertainment, expensive boutiques and generally the extravagant lifestyle led in the 'Gambling Capital' of the USA. Las Vegas has everything we are used to seeing regularly on the movie screen – round-the-clock entertainment, cocktails and pools, fashion events and a host of other happenings that can rightly be described as a "vanity fair".
The Grand Canyon phenomenon!
The Grand Canyon is one of the seven natural wonders of the world and one of the most popular tourist destinations. Located on the high desert plateaus of the U.S. state of Arizona, the Grand Canyon was declared a U.S. national park back in 1919. The phenomenon is over 300 km long and reaches a depth of 1,800 m in places, which inevitably makes it the largest canyon in the world. Below flows the Colorado River, which over the years, through erosion, has carved the outlines of the colorful chasm. From a bird's-eye view, you can enjoy the range of colors, shifting between reddish, bluish and yellowish tones depending on the light. The Grand Canyon is a magnificent sight for which words are not enough.
Florida – paradise on earth!
Florida – "The Sunshine State"! It is hard to describe in words – from the wonderful exotic beaches, through the hundreds of attractions, to the glamour of Miami. A magical place where dreams come true and fairy tales become reality, where cartoon characters are born to entertain millions of children around the world. Walt Disney World is just one of the faces of this little piece of paradise. Florida beats at full strength when everything else has gone quiet; when in other parts of the planet the ground is frozen with cold, it enjoys 30-degree heat. The Sunshine State will surprise you with places like the Kennedy Space Center – one of NASA's space centers – and Wet and Wild – the largest water park in the world. You will be impressed by its beauty and feel the thrill of fun. It will surprise you again and again, so that you rediscover its charm every time and gradually realize that you have fallen in love.
