There’s nothing like an all-American city break if you’re always looking for a dose of excitement when you travel. Some of the most mesmerizing cities in the world can be found in this great country. If you’re looking for fun and excitement on your next trip then you should check out some of these wonderful cities to get your fill of adventure. Soaring skylines are only the start of what these famous destinations have to offer.

Los Angeles, California
We have to start with one of the most popular tourist destinations in the country. There’s a reason so many travelers flock to L.A. every year, and the sunshine plays only the tiniest part in this city’s appeal. First of all, you should explore Hollywood. Seeing this fascinating place in the flesh isn’t the same as seeing glitzy movies or pictures of famous stars, but there’s something so intriguing about peering behind the veil. The Hollywood Hills are beautiful too; you should hike up them to see the city from a higher view. The Griffith Observatory is up there, and it’s well worth visiting. Make sure you take a look through the telescope and marvel at the cosmos. Once you’re done there, you should head to downtown L.A. to experience the “real” city. Head to Grand Central Market for some delicious food and entertainment; you won’t be disappointed.

Orlando, Florida
If you’re looking for the center of fun in the U.S. then you probably want to head to Orlando in Florida. There’s one thing that makes this city world-famous: Disney World. And it really is a fun adventure regardless of your age. You don’t need to have young kids if you want an excuse to go. There are fantastic water parks and even the wonderful Chinese Theater at Disney’s Hollywood Studios. You can even stay in the park’s very luxurious accommodation if you want to get the full Disney experience.

Of course, there’s more to Orlando than Disney World. You might want to take a little break from the excitement and festivities of that magical wonderland to see the beauty of Port Canaveral. Look into some options for Port Canaveral transportation and soak up everything that this beautiful place has to offer. The port promises calm waters and beautiful views of a sun-soaked landscape. There are fantastic fishing opportunities too. It’s a fun experience in a very different way to Disney World, but it’s definitely worth your time whilst you’re in the Orlando area.

Boston, Massachusetts
The capital of Massachusetts is a great closer for this article. Boston is packed full of fun things to see and do. For starters, you should try out the Freedom Trail. This path stretches for nearly 3 miles through the heart of Boston and takes you past many intriguing sites of historical and cultural significance. You’ll learn a lot about the American Revolution, but you’ll also be taking a very scenic and pleasant route through the city. You also have to see the Museum of Fine Arts if you want to see some intriguing exhibits.

If you are traveling to Boston from anywhere West or South, you may want to receive Connecticut Travel Alerts, or alerts from surrounding areas, to ensure you travel on the best route possible for a trip not to forget.

Tips for Trip Success

Book Your Flight
Find an inexpensive flight by using CheapOAir, a favorite of ours because it regularly returns less expensive flight options from a variety of airlines.

Book Your Hotel or Special Accommodation
We are big fans of Booking.com. We like their review system and photos. If we want to see more reviews and additional booking options, we go to TripAdvisor.

You Need Travel Insurance!
Good travel insurance means having total peace of mind. Travel insurance protects you when your medical insurance often will not and better than what you get from your credit card. It will provide comprehensive coverage should you need medical treatment or return to the United States, compensation for trip interruption, baggage loss, and other situations.
