Like CarolinaPanthers8789 said, all depends how far you can go or what part of the country you will be in. Are you looking for 'real' America or the major cities, etc. I've been to every state and almost every major city in the country, all depends what you seek and what you are into. My personal list ...

San Fran

LA

NYC

Austin

Nashville

Close 2nd...

Chicago

Washington DC

Portland

Missoula

Boston

I almost put Portland on my list but didn't want to get critiqued for it lol.

As a European I have been to both New York, Charlotte, Dallas, Kansas and most of California... My advise, if you want to meet the "real" Americans for the love of god stay away from the north east. New York has a lot to offer for a tourist, but the people living there is for the most part idiots.

 

Charlotte and Dallas is my two favorite city's in US. The weather is great, the people are nice and there is a lot to see.

lol fk Missoula, quit trying to be different. If your gonna be edgy go to Colorado Springs and visit Manitou Springs and do the incline or walk to Pikes Peak.

To OP, scenery is much better on the west coast, California, Utah, Arizona, Colorado. East coast would be better if you like Urban areas. You could arrive in NYC and rent a car and drive to Charlotte going 600 or 700 miles and see Boston, Philly, DC. Scenery is nothing compared to out west.

MM, how long will you plan to spend here, and would you prefer to drive and see countryside and small towns or just fly between the major highlights? it makes an enormous difference either way as far as what would make sense to recommend.

 

if you've only got time for a few stops, i'd recommend san fran (you can get west coast culture without dealing with shitty los angeles or nonstop rain in seattle) and denver (colorado's front range is like nowhere else in the world) west of the mississippi and in the east washington DC and either NYC or miami if you want some stereotypical american cities (though you'll get bored quick i think) east of the mississippi. if you're all citied-out on the east coast, by all means fly to charlotte and spend some time there. it's sizable enough that you can find stuff to do, you might be able to time it with a panthers game, and you're a quick drive into rural american countryside from there if you don't have time to rent a car anywhere else.

 

good luck, we have our share of problems in the u.s. but we are damn fun to explore.

Cities?

New York

Seattle

Miami

There are many others that should make the list, but those three will give a good base. I would suggest a few cities from the central US since they tend to differ from coastal cities. Denver and St. Louis would be good places to start.

But "real American" life.... if you drive coast to coast (I recommend it) you will see nothing but farmland for two solid days.

New Orleans. Best seafood in the country.

If you're going to NC, I recommend Asheville. Extremely scenic and filled with culture.

As someone who lives in Asheville it's incredibly beautiful.  Always something beautiful to find.   People either live in a 1960's hippie fantasy land or are giant hillbillies though.

NYC- Self explanatory

Boston- This one is probably my favorite American City. Go in the Summer. Lots of history and its a weird mix of being a small big city or a big small city however you want to put it.

DC- If you're into history or museums its great.

San Fran- Actually is the most visited city in the world and when you're there you can see why. Its a cool place and is a walkable city.... But I hope you like hills. The Alcatraz tour is worth it just remember to buy tickets ahead of time. Also the tour is different at night than it is during the day. Its actually worth the time and money to do both to get to see the city from the bay at different times.

San Diego- The one place in Cali I'd gladly live. This is going to sound kiddish but the Zoo there makes the trip worth it every time.

 

And this is the one that is hard to say Being a Panthers fan but its worth seeing even if it is a dangerous nasty cesspool of the worst scumbags known to man.... Saints fans. New Orleans is worth it just for the food.

I like dallas a lot. Great city and maybe the easiest big one to get around.

Southern California has amazing weather all the time and has great natural beauty (ideally you could come into LAX and then stay somewhere down the pacific coast highway area. LA has really bad traffic.)

A sleeper city that I like a lot is Annapolis, Maryland. It's a nice pretty coastal town that is affordable, and you are close enough to Washington D.C. to visit and sight see there.

Like people have said, Asheville and Boone, North Carolina are beautiful mountain towns, but if you are going to go once, go during the autumn when the leaves are turning.

Hope that helps. Good luck, and travel safe.

Charlotte averages four inches more of rain a year than Seattle. I believe I've said here before that Seattle in and of itself isn't that spectacular, but the surrounding areas are my absolute favorite parts of the country.

      [The Athletic] Dane Brugler's 2025 7-round Mock Draft

      By MHS831 · Posted

      I have been on the Bech bandwagon since well before the SR Bowl.  Hoping that he would stay a hidden gem and we'd be smart enough to grab him late.  I just don't think Morgan cares as much about WR as we do

      General Draft Rumors/Speculation Thread

      By MHS831 · Posted

      Here is how this draft could get mind-blowingly complicated--Interesting comment about Jags floating the Jeanty idea to lure Chicago into a trade.  I have to think Ben Johnson is going to duplicate in many ways the success he had in Detroit, and I have to think their free agency was following the blueprint Carolina designed last year (one that the Saints designed before them with Brees) and they upgraded all of their interior linemen.  RT in Chicago is set; Johnson loves RT Darnell Wright.  However, at LT, Braxton Jones is coming off a December injury and is considered to be in a competition for the position this year by at least a few fans on the Bears Wire.  His PFF score, however, was solid, posting an 80+ score in pass protection and 70+ score in run blocking.  He is in his prime.  However, in some of their fan mocks, the Bears are taking a LT.  I thought they needed an Edge to play 4-3 strong side across from Sweat, but they signed Odeyingbo to a pretty big contract in March. For the Bears, in my view, it comes down to TE or Running Back. Kmet is their #1 TE and he had 474 yards in that role, which was 25th in the NFL last season for TEs.  Adding Warren would help upgrade the TE spot and give them the ability to add around an estimated 80 yards of production per game.  The Bears have D'Andre Swift at RB, but could use a RB to pair with him for a desired 2 RB attack.  So if I am Da Bears, I stay at 10 and take Warren.  If the Jags want to move on from Etienne, then they will take Jeanty. I think, if I were the Jags (with 10 picks this year) I would take Mason Graham and not try to get an 11th pick.  It is a need position, and it seems to me the only reason they are toying with the idea of moving on from Etienne is because Jeanty is on the board.  That, to me, would be a luxury pick. New GM, I think he does not get cute--they take Graham if they stay at 5.  I might say the Jags' biggest need is Corner.  #5 is too rich for Will Johnson, but remember, they have 10 picks.  could they move up with Cleveland and take Hunter, giving them a CB and WR threat?  To me, with the draft capital they have, that is the move they should make.  Cleveland then could move back to #5.  Remember, Nick Chubb is an aging (29) free agent coming off an injury--so he is gone.  With an additional second rounder, the Browns move back and take Jeanty to give Flacco a running game. The Jags pick is very interesting, but I would not be surprised to see them move up.
