Facts about United States of America

Tourist Overview: The USA offers a unique combination of bigger than big cities with their fast paced life and great outdoor opportunities and lots of fun. The East coast has many cities worth discovering, such as New York, a unique melting pot of cultures with the world's most famous skyline; Boston, also known as "Bean Town"; Philadelphia, home of Independence Hall; Washington, District of Columbia the capital city; and Atlanta, where the 1996 Olympics were held.

On the west coast, you'll find expansive, wide open spaces and amazing national parks. The west coast's major city, Los Angeles, is a world unto itself. You can find everything from rags to riches, from Tinseltown to East Los Angeles Head south to visit Orange County's Huntington Beach for the ultimate experience in Surf City USA or head to California's Riviera city of Laguna Beach to check out the famous art scene.

Other attractions include Hollywood (start with the Universal City studio tour) and Disneyland, in Anaheim. North of Los Angeles is gorgeous San Francisco, one of America's nicest cities and the home of Alcatraz, the Golden Gate Bridge and Streetcars. Continuing up the coast is Seattle, the birthplace of the Starbucks coffee company and in close proximity to the quaint San Juan islands.

Size: about half the size of Russia; about three-tenths the size of Africa; about half the size of South America (or slightly larger than Brazil); slightly larger than China; about two and a half times the size of Western Europe
