Too often, major cities across the United States—from New York to Los Angeles—snag tourists' attention, but to skip these rural destinations would be a mistake.
Many foreign and domestic travelers in the United States are enchanted by the country’s cities, which prove vibrant and exciting. From New York to Chicago to Los Angeles, these major metropolises are brimming with entertainment and world-class restaurants, often eclipsing the beauty of other smaller-town destinations. From the mountains of Colorado to the rivers of Tennessee, some of the most gorgeous scenery in the United States is found far from the skyscrapers and the taxi-filled avenues of major cities.
