6 | Welcome to the United States
Welcome to the UNITED STATES The streets are paved in gold, it was once whispered. Opportunity is everywhere in the Western World, the greatest melting pot on Earth, they’ve said. It’s known as the “land of the free,” where “purple mountains majesty” shade “amber waves of grain;” in China, its name is simply “the Beautiful Nation.” However, we’re fortunate enough to call the United States by one word: home. This is America, a country so geographically and culturally diverse that people spend their whole lives traveling its borders and still leave sights unseen. One of the most stable and mightiest nations today, filled with unique states and reasons to visit, it’s no wonder that travelers from the world over dream about our famous cities and tropical, alpine, prairie, desert, and forest landscapes under endless skies. Fast-paced New York is on many a bucket list, with its towering skyscrapers and legendary glamour. On the other side of the spectrum is wild Alaska, where bears and moose are more likely neighbors than folk. The wonder of the Grand Canyon brings a different type of surrealism to the touristic table and counters it with immaculate golf and spas—luxuries also renowned in fun-loving, star-studded California, whose film tradition has changed the world. However, movies take the backseat when live entertainment is non-stop in cities like Las Vegas, New Orleans, Orlando, and Miami. “From the mountains / to the prairies / and the oceans white with foam,” every state leaves its own lasting impression, but common to them all is “America, the Beautiful.” Hudson Bay CANADA GREAT LAKES NEW YORK MASS.

Rather, it’s the larger-than-life, vibrant combination of all of these that sparks that feeling of raw excitement. Known as the American Riviera, Miami impresses beyond its dynamism. Luxury and sophistication are par for the course at any of the posh hotels downtown, on South Beach, in the Art Deco Historic District, Miami Beach, or Bal Harbor— among other elegant addresses. Needless to say, so are championship golf courses and miles upon miles of gorgeous beaches. Extravagant pools, VIP nightclubs and lounges, fashionable designer shopping, and restaurants that vie to be crowned among the finest of fine dining add to the glamour. As thrilling as it is, Miami also has a softer side. Cubanos served in casual cafés in Coconut Grove, golden-sand tranquility in Biscayne Bay, and family-friendly leisure at the Venetian Pool reveal it. Museums; the 75-year-old Island Jungle and its famous birds; and the 38-acre Miami Seaquarium entertainment park, research center, and rehabilitation facility gently woo its next generation of fans, setting off the first spark for a lifelong love affair. 42 | Miami

Beautiful princesses and bold knights. Wizards, fairies, ogres, mermaids, pirates, monsters, and superheroes. Other than the love of children around the world, the one thing they all have in common is that they live in Orlando: the gateway between whimsical lands, lost worlds, fantasy, and real life. The “Theme Park Capital of the World,” this popular destination surpasses even New York as the most-visited city in the U.S., and not merely among the younger set. Adults find just as much fun and joy reliving their childhoods as kids do experiencing it for the first time… sometimes even more. Over 170 golf courses add a gleam to grown-up eyes, along with world-class spas and outlet-driven shopping. Incredible restaurants give way to equally exciting nightlife. Culture buffs won’t even know where to start in the Orlando Main Street District’s Little Vietnam, nearby Eatonville—America’s oldest incorporated African-American community and a stop on the Florida Black Heritage Trail—or Winter Park, the “City of Culture & Heritage.” Over 70 parks complement museums like the Charles Hosmer Morse Museum of Natural Art in this livable town, another nod to Florida’s love of nature. A bird’s-eye view can be taken in from the ziplines of the Forever Florida eco-adventure park, home of the country’s first zipline roller coaster, or higher yet from a hot air balloon. From the streets to the swamps to the skies, the Orlando region is one you’ll want to see from every angle. 46 | Orlando
