US: New York, Washington DC, Boston and Chicago, tailor-made, fully flexible travel

Travel across the fabulous US East Coast visiting its four main attractive cities

Discover the East Coast of the United States on this magnificent trip that runs through the four most important cities in this part of the country. The first stop is New York, considered by some as the 'capital of the planet', and by everyone as one of the most exciting cities in the world.A cosmopolitan city with hundreds of nationalities where more than 800 languages are spoken. For tourists, the opportunities are endless, but among the essential visits are: the Empire State Building and its viewpoint; Central Park - the soul of the city; Times Square - the most colourful and spectacular of all places; Fifth Avenue - the luxury shopper's paradise; Wall Street - the heart of the city strewn with skyscrapers; the Brooklyn Bridge; the High Line and the Statue of Liberty. As for museums, the MOMA, the Guggenheim and the Metropolitan are must-visits. The next part of the trip takes place in Washington DC, the capital of the United States. In the National Mall park you will find some of the main points of interest, such as the Capitol building - seat of the nation's government; the Washington Monument - the tallest building in the area; and the Lincoln Memorial - where Martin Luther King Jr. delivered his famous "I have a dream" speech. It is also home to several memorials (to those killed in the Second World War, the Korean War and the Vietnam War), and right next to it stands the White House, where the President lives. The museum options are immense here with the Holocaust, Natural History and American History museums deserving a special mention. Boston, scene of some of the historical moments that gave rise to the birth of the United States as a nation, is now a vibrant city with lots to offer in terms of culture and cuisine. An international benchmark at financial, technological and educational level, with Harvard and MIT at the helm, welcoming attractions such as the Science Museum, the Museum of Fine Arts, the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum and the spectacular Skywalk Observatory. Its revolutionary past is reflected in gems like the Old State House and the Paul Revere House, although the best way to immerse yourself in its history is through the "Freedom Trail" tour for tourists. In contention with Boston for the title of the country's second most-important city is Chicago, which is actually nicknamed "The Second City", where you will spend the last part of this tour through the main cities of the United States East Coast. But that's not the only nickname that it has; it is also known as "The Windy City" or "The Big Shoulders City", from being the world's birthplace of skyscrapers. Today, Chicago is a first-rate tourist destination because, amongst many things, it is the city of Al Capone and the Dry Law; where several of the tallest buildings in the world stand (such as the John Hancock Tower and the Willis Tower); it has some of the most fascinating art museums on the planet (including the Field Museum of Natural History, the Museum of Contemporary Art and, above all, the Art Institute); and is where legendary basketball player Michael Jordan and his Chicago Bulls come from ... Discover it for yourself; maybe you'll give it your own nickname! This 2-week trip is not one to be missed as it puts four ideal destinations at your fingertips to visit as a couple or as a family, with activities for all ages and all tastes.
