North America
What you need to know before you go
North America has it all – big cities, rolling prairies, rugged mountains, wild forests, luxurious beaches, desert heat, Arctic cold and everything in between. As a meeting place and mixing bowl of many world cultures, it’s like the globe has been compressed into a single landmass. It’s quite a big landmass, so taking it all in at once would be quite a challenge!
While North America is mostly made up of 2 countries – Canada and the USA – each is formed from many unique settings, cultures and peoples, giving you very different travel experiences. There are super-chic party places like Miami and Los Angeles, bustling metropolises like New York and Toronto, Chilled-out cities like Quebec and San Francisco, unique and quirky spots like Austin and Las Vegas – the list goes on. Start your exploration of this vibrant and varied continent right here.
