Слайд 2The most beautiful places and main sights.
It is unlikely that there
will be at least one other country in the world that can compare with the United States in terms of scale, the number of natural and man-made attractions, the diversity of climatic zones and recreational opportunities.
This country is very different. It's one thing to go to the northern, fairly stern state of Maine and quite another - to sunny California, with its bustling Los Angeles and picturesque beaches. In the US, you can arrange a shopping tour of the shops of New York and wander through the untouched expanses of one of the national parks.
It is almost impossible to see all the beauty and features of the United States during one trip. Only travel to New York can take several days, and if you also go to such a popular city among tourists, like Miami or Las Vegas - your journey will be exactly delayed for weeks.
It is noteworthy that in the US everyone can find entertainment to their liking. Want to get a dose of excitement - at your service is a well-developed industry of the casino of Las Vegas. Dream to see the famous Niagara Falls - excellent, this is it! Here you will find what to see and lovers of history, and townspeople who dream of enjoying untouched nature, and shopaholics who want to learn the basics of surfing or just lie on the beach.
Another highlight of the United States is the huge number of traditions brought to this country by numerous immigrants. Here, next to the restaurant of Chinese cuisine, there is necessarily a traditional pizzeria, near the pretentious French restaurant - an exotic Thai institution. In this article we will tell only about the most famous landmarks of the USA.
