The USA is home to several of the world’s most exciting cities, some truly mind-blowing landscapes, a strong sense of regionalism, a trenchant mythology, more history than the country gives itself credit for and, arguably, some of the most approachable natives in the world.
Every traveler in the United States – be they foreigners on a coast-to-coast road trip or locals exploring their extraordinarily diverse land – has some idea of what to expect. American culture has become so thoroughly shared throughout the globe that one of the principal joys of getting to know the country is the repeated, delicious shock of the familiar. Yellow taxis on busy city streets; roadside mailboxes straight out of Peanuts cartoons; wooden porches overlooking the cottonfields; tumbleweed skittering across the desert; endless highways dotted with pick-up trucks and chrome-plated diners; the first sight of the Grand Canyon, or the Manhattan skyline – now more than ever an indelibly iconic image. |

Los Angeles is a melting pot of cultures, economic and social strata. From the Hispanic communities of South Central LA to the mansions and hilltop residences of the fabulously wealthy, everyone has a place in this mammoth metropolis. Downtown LA is crammed with cloud-piercing towers and superb cultural attractions. The colourful Museum of Contemporary Art, located in the fashionable neighbourhood of Bunker Hill, boasts masterpieces from the abstract expressionist period, plus a popular pop art gallery. Nearby lies the bustling Grand Central Market, where the air buzzes with the sounds of stallholders, flaunting their wares.
