Quick links

Follow the legendary Route 66

No American road trip bucket list is complete without Route 66. Stretching nearly 2,500 miles from Chicago to Santa Monica, this classic highway serves up ghost towns, kitschy diners, desert skies, and roadside Americana straight out of a movie. It’s the road trip of all road trips—grab some friends, rent a car, and hit the open road.

Celebrate in the capital

Washington, D.C. is bursting with history, but visiting on the Fourth of July takes things to a whole new level. Fireworks light up the sky over the National Mall, patriotic parades fill the streets, and the city buzzes with energy. It’s a once-in-a-lifetime experience that’ll have you chanting “U-S-A!” with the locals.

Strike a pose in Las Vegas

Sin City is a sensory overload of neon lights, showbiz glitz, and outrageous fun. Snap your souvenir photo in front of the iconic “Welcome to Fabulous Las Vegas” sign, then explore themed casinos, watch a live show, or try your luck at the slots. Whether you stay one night or three, Vegas always delivers unforgettable memories.

Explore America’s epic National Parks

Want to witness jaw-dropping natural beauty? America’s National Parks are the definition of adventure. Think thundering waterfalls, towering redwoods, red rock canyons, and alpine lakes. Top picks? Yosemite, Yellowstone, Zion, Grand Canyon, and the Smoky Mountains. Don’t forget your camera—this is nature on a whole other scale.

Saddle up and ride into the wild

Channel your inner cowboy and explore the great American wilderness on horseback. Whether you ride through a Montana ranch, along Appalachian trails, or across the deserts of Arizona, seeing the USA from the saddle is an unforgettable way to connect with its wild side.

Dance through America’s music cities

From honky-tonk bars to jazz lounges, America’s music scene is second to none. Nashville is a country music lover’s paradise. New Orleans is all about jazz and soul. Austin offers indie and alternative beats. Memphis is home to rock ‘n’ roll legends. Wherever you go, let the rhythm guide your road trip.

And so much more…

From New York’s towering skyline to California’s golden beaches, from rollercoasters in Florida to deep-dish pizza in Chicago—there’s no end to what you can discover. Your only limit is time (and maybe your luggage allowance).
