Best Time to Visit
Due to the USA’s huge size, any season could be a good time to visit the country. It all depends on what you want to see and do during your vacation.
If you are planning for budget holidays, you would like to plan your trip anytime other than Spring Break and the school holidays. Flight and hotel prices do increase over these periods, making it an expensive time to travel.
In the summer, the beach cities are really popular with tourists, but there is a good reason for that. Coastal cities such as Los Angeles, San Francisco, San Diego and Miami are at their best during summer, and the perfect places to catch some sunshine!
December to February is winter season in the USA, but it’s one of the most beautiful times of year to visit! You can visit New York for Christmas and the National Parks look really magical.
