Best Places to Visit in the US

The United States is a massive country with a vast array of cultures, ecosystems, and historical landmarks. With so much happening in such a large country, it’s hard to decide where to go. The best places to visit in the USA are subjective. Here are the best places to visit in the US based on what you like to do!

1. New Orleans, LA

New Orleans is a mecca of culture. The city is the home of the largest Mardi Gras parade in the United States, a yearly Jazz Festival, street performers, and a wide array of museums dedicated to varying cultural phenomena, including a Voodoo Museum.  The city is also renowned for its food, which can be considered a cultural experience in New Orleans more than any other city.

2. Seattle, WA

The birthplace of grunge, Seattle is renowned as a music city. However, it also hosts a wide array of museums and other cultural icons. The pop culture museum downtown is an excellent reminder of pop culture’s influence on our daily lives, while the gum wall showcases the gritty side of culture. 

3. Savannah, GA

Home to one of the most prestigious arts and design colleges in the county, it’s no wonder Savannah, GA, would find its home as an arts and cultures icon. Although a small town, it has over 20 museums, a thriving music scene, and a wide array of themed bars. It’s also an excellent example of Southern charm and culture.

4. Portland, OR

Portland is a hipster city quickly gaining national attention as one of the best places to live and visit. One of the biggest draws to the city is its food culture. Portland is home to over 100 craft breweries, a wide variety of food trucks and carts, and the idea that locally sourced sustainable food is far better than overpriced five-star restaurants.

5. Washington Mall

Washington DC is home to the most important and iconic monuments representing US history. See the Capitol Hill, the Washington Monument, The Lincoln Memorial, and the Vietnam Memorial Wall all at Washington Mall. While you’re in DC, be sure to check out the Smithsonian Museum complex, with collections on everything.

6. The Northern Lights

The United States is such a vast country that there are tropical beaches and places to view the Northern lights. Fairbanks, Alaska, is the Northern-most major city in the country and a great place to visit if you want to see the aurora borealis. Aurora season in Fairbanks runs from late August to late April, so there is ample time in the year to plan your visit.
