USA Travel Guide

Here is some of the important USA information that you will need on your tour. For more information about America, go to the individual state websites.

Weather in USA: The weather you will get in USA depends completely on the destination and location. There is a reason the US is divided into several time zones. From frozen Alaska to tropical Hawaii, USA climate changes extensively. The summers in the western coast are hot and dry, while the south is quite humid. North and north-east experience milder temperatures, but it is still quite hot. Beach activities are enjoyed very much during this time.

Nightlife in USA: One can certainly keep the US in the list of countries with the best nightlife scenes. From the neon-lit Strip of Las Vegas to the beach parties in Florida to the numerous bars, pubs and nightclubs lining the streets of New York, Chicago, San Francisco, New Orleans and so on – nightlife in USA has everything on platter except disappointment.

Shopping in USA: The United States of America is one of the grandest shopping destinations in the world. All the things that you can see online but cannot afford to buy because of huge import charges can be bought here at minimal prices. Fashion, electronics, toys, gadgets, exclusive comic books, exotic chocolates, and cheese – the things you can take back home are endless. All the major US cities are great retail hubs where you can shop till you drop. If you are an absolute shopaholic, NYC is the city to be. From the Fifth Avenue shops to Brooklyn flea market, your feet will give away before you can savour it all.

Food in USA: Food is a very important part of traveling America. The country has every single type of cuisine one can imagine. You will get authentic Indian restaurants as well. If you are in New York City, then trying out the best pizza joints is an absolute must part of the tour. Down south, Texas Barbecues and Tacos, a tipping-of-hat to the huge Latino population of America, are delicious things. But the two things one must try at all cost are an authentic hamburger and apple pie. If you read any USA travel guidebook, you will get a mention of these tasty dishes. But each tourist guidebook will give you a different name to try out the dishes. People have different tastes and taste buds, so for this, you have to either trust a local recommendation or simply your gut feeling.

Festivals in USA: Any America travel guide will tell you that the most important festivals in USA are Halloween, Thanksgiving and the Holiday season. The main festivals in the winter holiday season are Hanukkah, celebrated by the Jews and Christmas by Christians. But irrespective of religion, the entire country decks up in the most magical ambiance to ring in the New Year by the end of the holidays.
