USA AT A GLANCE
America’s vast and varied states can often be defined by their world-famous landmarks. But

world-class sports and impressive
stadiums, travellers are treated to truly

and natural wonders, world-famous sights
and ample opportunity for adventure.
AUTHENTIC FLAVOURS
Classic key lime pie down in Florida,
bowls of fresh, colourful poke in Hawai‘i
and indulgent deep-dish pizza in Chicago
are just a few of the States’ defining
dishes. Look for quintessential plates
served up at age-old diners and familyrun
restaurants, and keep an eye out for
fresh local specialties, from pink tomatoes
in Arkansas to oysters in Virginia.
RANCH LIFE
America’s cities might be buzzing with
activity, but out in the countryside there
are sprawling, peaceful getaways offering
a different pace of life. Learn ranch skills,
get back to nature, or just relax.

American classic and take to the long,
wide roads. Cruise the Pacific Coast
