3 common.citiesEast Coast
From the rocky shores of Maine to the beaches of Florida, America's East Coast is the most densely populated region in the country and home to the nation's greatest cities — New York, Boston, Philadelphia, Washington D.C., and Miami. New England's colonial history, the Mid-Atlantic's political heritage, and the South's cultural richness create an extraordinary diversity of experiences along the Atlantic seaboard.
3 common.citiesWest Coast
America's Pacific frontier stretches from the rain forests of Washington State to the deserts of Southern California, encompassing three of the country's most innovative and diverse cities — Seattle, San Francisco, and Los Angeles. The West Coast is where counterculture was born, where technology reinvented the world, and where the Pacific meets America in a spectacular convergence of mountains, forests, and sea.
1 common.cityMidwest
The Great Lakes and the Great Plains form the heart of America — vast farmland, industrial cities, and freshwater seas that together supply the country's food and powered its industrial revolution. Chicago, the Midwest's great metropolis, stands as America's most architecturally significant city, while the region's smaller cities offer authentic, unpretentious American experiences at prices far below the coasts.
2 common.citiesThe South
From the Cajun bayous of Louisiana to the Appalachian Mountains of Tennessee and North Carolina to the Gulf beaches of Texas, the American South is the country's most culturally distinct region — the birthplace of jazz, blues, country music, and barbecue, a land shaped by a complex history and expressed in extraordinary food, music, and hospitality.
1 common.cityPacific Islands (Hawaii)
Isolated in the middle of the Pacific Ocean 2,400 miles from the US mainland, the Hawaiian Islands are America's tropical paradise — eight volcanic islands of extraordinary natural beauty, Polynesian cultural heritage, world-class surfing, and a uniquely multicultural cuisine that blends Native Hawaiian, Japanese, Chinese, Filipino, and American influences into something wholly original.
