Destination guide

What to expect

In autumn in Central Park, the trees turn gold and red and reflect in the lake, with the skyscrapers of Manhattan behind them. In the harbour, the Statue of Liberty welcomes the ferries, and the Brooklyn Bridge at sunset gives one of the city's best-known views.

On the border with Canada, Niagara Falls throws up a rainbow in the mist. In Washington, the Lincoln Memorial stands before the Reflecting Pool, and in spring cherry trees bloom across the city.

The United States is a country the size of a continent, and those who want to reach the national parks of the West can plan a trip tailored to them. The East Coast, though, holds museums, music and cuisines from all over the world within distances that are easy to cover.
