Travel United StatesAs one of the world's largest countries, the United States has a virtually unlimited number of places to explore! Take your pick of fifty unique states, or go straight to the nation's capital in the federal district of Washington, D.C. No matter what your interests, you can find an activity or climate to suit your needs. Beach-lovers flock to the white sands of Hawaii, or go celebrity-spotting on the beaches of California. Not a fan of the heat? Alaskan cruises offer breath-taking arctic scenery, or you could go skiing at one of Colorado's many resorts in the Rockies.

The United States has a rich history, including colonization, the fight for independence from Britian, involvement in dozens of wars, the Great Depression, the Civil Rights Movement, and the Women's Movement . History buffs can visit the sites of events that were not only important to the United States, but to the world. Walk in the footsteps of history as you visit the Old North Church in Boston, where Robert Newman famously hung two lanterns to signal the movement of the British by sea. Stand in the same spot at the Lincoln Memorial as Martin Luther King Jr. when he declared "I have a dream." Every state has its own story to tell.

For museum-goers, the United States will not disappoint! It has some of the most impressive museum collections in the world. Why not check out The Smithsonian in Washington, D.C., or plan a trip to New York City to take in the Guggenheim Museum, Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) and the Metropolitan Museum of Art (The Met)?
