3. San Francisco is a dynamic, cosmopolitan city, and one of the top
tourist destinations in the world. People visit for all kinds of reasons-
restaurants, shopping, nightlife, family attractions, museums, and
parks are just a few. With mild weather throughout the year and a
beautiful waterside setting, the City by the Bay can't be beat....more

4. Fisherman's Wharf is the most popular tourist attraction in San Francisco. It is crowded for a reason;
there are so many fun things to do on the waterfront. Just walking up and down the piers and
through the parks is exciting enough, but dive into one of the many museums if you care for
something out of the ordinary. The wharf has an old WWII submarine, the USS Pampanito, which is
available for touring, as well as an aquarium, a wax museum, and a Ripley's Believe it or Not!
Museum. Or take the opportunity to set sail on a cruise ship around the bay from one of these San
Francisco piers.

5. The Golden Gate Bridge stretching across the San Francisco Bay is an image that your mind
will not forget. It is fascinating place, where the natural beauty of the bay is amplified by the
awe of modern engineering. Whether you drive, walk, or bike across, the experience will
leave you breathless. The suspension bridge carries over a mile, fortified by two tall orange
towers and connecting cables. Take a guided tour to learn the history and science behind the
structure, or witness its magnificence from a hilltop lookout at Presidio National Park or atop
Hawk's Hill. Gather information and souvenirs at the Bridge Pavilion.

6. Ghirardelli Square, once home to the world-famous chocolate factory, is one of
the most popular tourist attractions in San Francisco. Take a break from
shopping and have lunch at a trendy restaurant or café. Sit in the open-air
center and enjoy the street performers while sipping a beer at the pub or a
glass of California wine at the winery. It will be hard to resist ordering a
delicious ice cream sundae with chocolate on top or a cup of hot chocolate
from The Chocolate Manufactory & Soda Fountain.

7.  Discover an incredible collection of artwork at the Asian Art Museum in
San Francisco. There are more than 18,000 objects, which span 6,000
years and many different cultures, include paintings, sculpture,
miniature jades, furniture, porcelain, ceramics, textiles, and basketry. The
galleries are divided into seven geographic regions, from Southeast Asia
and China to Korea and Japan

8. The San Francisco Zoo is one of the city's star attractions, high
on the list of things to do and see. This wonderful, historic zoo
shines a spotlight on the importance of conservation and respect
for all animals. There are 7 main sections of the San Francisco
Zoo: the African Region, Primate Discovery Center, Cat Kingdom,
South America, Bear Country, Outback Trail, and the Children's
Zoo. In addition, kids will love the Little Puffer train and the
beautiful carousel.

10.  New York State is one of the world's most popular vacation
destinations. Spring in New York State – watch nature come to
life. Summer in New York State opens a world of exploring and
fun for the whole family. Relax at a charming resort and spa or
maybe you prefer a quaint bed and breakfast, enjoy skiing or
snowboarding this Winter in New York. Experience the beauty
of mother nature’s spectacular display of autumn with brilliant
colors during Fall in New York State. Whatever season you
choose to visit New York State there are countless exploring
activities and fun for everyone.
 Visit New York City, Manhattan offers the finest in arts and
history, museums and galleries, designer fashions, fine cuisine,
Broadway shows, cultural attractions, boat cruises, double
decker sightseeing tours, premier walking tours of New York's
historic districts and ethnic neighborhoods and much more.

11.  New York City's skyline is truly awe-inspiring. The skyscrapers, bridges,
waterways, islands and monuments create a breathtaking panorama that is
instantly recognizable worldwide. While you can feel the immensity of these
surroundings from anywhere in the City, the grandeur of the cityscape is best
viewed from above. Take an elevator ride up 1,050 feet to the 86th-floor
observation deck of the Empire State Building; New York City's second-tallest
structure (after One World Trade Center), this soaring art deco masterpiece offers
a completely unobstructed, 360-degree view of the city below. For a spectacular
vista that includes the Empire State Building itself, head up to the Top of the Rock,
located on the 67th, 69th and 70th floors of 30 Rockefeller Plaza (home of NBC
Studios). Both the Empire State Building and Top of the Rock are open late, so
don't miss the chance to see the City lights shimmer after dark. For more on some
of the City's tallest and most-beloved buildings

12. Not sure where to look while walking through world-famous Times Square? Don't
worry—you're not alone. With massive digital billboards whose bright lights make
midnight look like midafternoon; star-studded Broadway and Off-Broadway shows (and
reduced-price tickets to see them available from the TKTS Discount Booth); people
peddling art and jewelry on the street; and, of course, the Naked Cowboy—who plays
guitar in his tighty-whities—the expansive stretch of Midtown is a feast for all five senses.
Visitors can shop in flagship locations of such stores as Toys "R" Us (which boasts an
indoor Ferris wheel), take pictures with wax celebrities at Madame Tussauds, watch the
ball drop on New Year's Eve or grab a pre- or post-theater meal along Restaurant Row
(West 46th Street, between Eighth and Ninth Avenues), where many eateries offer prix-
fixe deals. And with Broadway closed to cars from West 42nd to West 47th Streets, Times
Square is now more pedestrian friendly than ever.

13.  Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island
The Statue of Liberty is New York City's most recognizable landmark, a
gleaming beacon for generations of immigrants seeking a better life in
America. To visit the monument, buy tickets online in advance of your trip
at statuecruises.com. (Though you can see Lady Liberty from land, the short
ferry ride to Liberty Island will bring you up close and personal.)
The nearby Ellis Island Immigration Museum provides a fascinating view of a
historic crossroads. At this site, visitors can explore the building that served
as the first port of entry in the United States for approximately 12 million
immigrants, as well as search ship manifests for passenger names in
the American Family Immigration History Center.

14.  Spanning 843 acres in the heart of Manhattan, Central Park is one of the world's
greatest urban oases, encompassing a diverse landscape of rolling fields, walking trails
and tranquil bodies of water—all sculpted by human hands. Designed in the mid-19th
century by Frederick Law Olmsted and Calvert Vaux, Central Park is the centerpiece of
the City's public parks system. Among its attractions are the Central Park
Zoo,Belvedere Castle and the Friedsam Memorial Carousel (which, weather
permitting, operates seven days a week from April through October and intermittently
the rest of the year). Sheep Meadow and the Great Lawn offer sprawling expanses
where visitors can relax and enjoy the outdoors. In the winter, there's ice-skating
at Trump Rink, which provides a picturesque backdrop for that classic cold-weather
pastime (a second Trump-run skating spot, Lasker Rink, is in a quiet section at the
northern edge of the park). In the summer, the Delacorte Theater hosts Shakespeare in
the Park, outdoor performances of the Bard's work. Elsewhere, Rumsey
Playfield serves as the primary home for SummerStage, a citywide free performing-
arts festival featuring music, dance, theater and more. Notably, Rumsey hosts
Metropolitan Opera recitals featuring singers and a pianist from the famed opera
company. For more ideas on what to see while visiting the sprawling NYC green space,
check out our slideshow of must-see Central Park sights.

17. Let Your Hair Down in Sin City
America's party capital knows how to serve up a wild
time, as well as unforgettable entertainment. Stroll
the famed Strip among monstrous casinos including
the Venetian, Caesars Palace and New York New
York. Don't leave without watching the colorful
Bellagio fountains or scoring tickets to epic events
like a Cirque du Soleil show.

18. 1. Bellagio Fountains
People stare at lots of free shows outside the hotels, but there's only one
worth going to: the Bellagio fountains. Every half-hour between 3 p.m.
and 8 p.m., and every 15 minutes from then 'til midnight, an 8.5-acre lake
in the middle of the desert explodes with 1,214 spritzers shooting water
up to 460 feet in the air — the water rockets and dances, perfectly
choreographed to Frank Sinatra or Gene Kelly or "One Singular
Sensation" from A Chorus Line. And yet, for some reason, it doesn't feel all
that gay, which is quite a feat.

19. 2. Shark Reef Aquarium
I know that the Shark Reef at the Mandalay Bay is, even at $16,
a good one: half-outdoors, half-indoors, with rays, sea turtles,
crocodiles, lots of sharks and, as of recently, a komodo dragon.
If you're staying at the Mandalay Bay, you can turn to the Shark
Reef channel and watch sharks live 24 hours a day on TV,
which is pretty awesome at 4 a.m.

20. The Clubs
 HYDE BELLAGIO
 CHATEAU NIGHTCLUB
 LAX NIGHTCLUB IN LUXOR
Each one has its own vibe. There's swank and there's sexy and there's superreal
too. Vegas nightclubs and the DJs that power them are magnets for young, hot
partiers. You can get exclusive front-of-the-line passes here, and we can hook you
up with VIP bottle service too. Remember that clubs aren't open every night and
definitely heat up on weekends. Be sure to check schedules. Also keep in mind
that if you're not styling your superfine Vegas attire, you're definitely not getting
in.

21. Fremont Street Experience
If ever there were a time to use the highly infectious and overly used term "cray cray," it's to describe the
Fremont Street Experience. This is the land of ultimate debauchery where the once glittery and
glamorous meets the just plain weird. Lined with vintage hotels, restaurants and bars spanning the
four-block corridor and covered by a giant digital screen, this downtown Las Vegas destination is the
ultimate block party. There is a myriad of things to do and see, including shopping at specialty kiosks,
riding zip lines and watching free concerts and costumed buskers of various levels of sobriety.
Home to the world's largest projection screen, the Viva Vision canopy is 90 feet above the ground and
spans 1,500 feet in length, roughly the size of five football fields. Featuring more than 12 million LED
modules and a 555,000-watt sound system, the light shows run every hour and last about six minutes
each. But these aren't the only free shows you'll see, especially after dark.

22. Las Vegas Strip
 It's always hip to party on the Strip. It's the electric spine of a legendary town that lives on chills, thrills and a
perennial buzz. The Las Vegas Strip is somehow everything you expect it to be, but still manages to surprise.
Hop on and enjoy the ride.
 You'll want to pick a home base - a place to store your suitcase and change into your party shoes. There are a
variety of Las Vegas Strip hotels for every taste, theme and price point. And they're all convenient to just about
everything. On the Strip, location is everything. The Strip is everything. And each location is fantastic.
 If you're looking for elegance on the Las Vegas Strip, the choices are vast, but the fountains outside your
window at theBellagio make this Strip resort a favorite of Vegas regulars. And the fountains are just the start.
Inside the lobby, you'll check in under a Chihuly glass sculpture that defies imagination. Stroll through the
botanical gardens while the bellhop delivers your luggage to your room. Then start your vacation with crepes
at a spectacular three-story chocolate fountain.
 Centrally located inside the recently built CityCenter, ARIA offers hip, modern sophistication. And the rooms
are state-of-the-art, remembering your temperature, music and lighting preferences on each subsequent visit.

32. Miami lies on the southeast side of the Florida Peninsula,
separated from the Atlantic Ocean by the Biscayne Bay lagoon
and Miami Beach. The city's pleasant winter climate makes it a
very popular holiday destination, particularly for those in the
northern regions of the country. The beaches of Greater Miami
are a major highlight, as is the Art Deco architecture of Miami
Beach. Outside the city but nearby is Everglades National Park,
known for its unique ecosystem and wildlife

33.  Miami Beach
Miami Beach is actually a separate municipality from Miami. It is located on an island, connected to the
mainland by a series of bridges. The area is known for its popular beaches and the Art Deco District, with
pastel buildings from the 1930s sporting classic neon signs. An expensive tourist district, this area features
numerous beachfront restaurants, shops, hotels, and plenty of sunbathing opportunities. The most popular
street in the area is Ocean Drive, a section of road located along the oceanfront and home to some beautiful
Art Deco buildings. One block inland and paralleling Ocean Drive is Collins Avenue. Collins Avenue is
actually State Road A1A, and is the main oceanfront street in Miami Beach, joining numerous
neighborhoods. Here visitors will find trendy and upper end restaurants, shopping, and hotels.

34.  Art Deco District
The Art Deco District in Miami Beach brings back memories of an earlier
time in Florida with its wonderfully restored 1930s Art Deco buildings.
These pastel colored historic structures display neon signs and awnings that
cover outdoor dining areas. Many of them front Ocean Drive, overlooking
the beach and ocean

35.  South Beach
Located at the southern end of Miami Beach where the Art Deco buildings line the
waterfront road, this is the most famous and popular section of Miami Beach. In
summer the beach is a popular draw for locals and tourists and in winter the area
is simply a popular place to stroll around.

36.  Ocean Drive
Ocean Drive runs along the oceanfront in Miami Beach, passing the historic Art
Deco buildings and the famous strip of sand known as South Beach. It is a popular
place both day and night for a slow cruise and some drive by sightseeing.
For those with a special interest in these lovely pastel colored, 1920s and 1930s Art
Deco buildings, some of the most notable structures are the Beacon (732 Ocean

looking out over docks and boats. Many people come here simply to soak up the
atmosphere. Tour boats leave from here, visiting locations around Biscayne Bay. As
well, there is a water taxi service to Miami Beach and downtown hotels located in
the area.

38.  Vizcaya Museum and Gardens
The Vizcaya Museum and Gardens is one of Miami's greatest treasures. The architecture, the
grounds, and the artwork it contains are all worth the trip to visit this beautiful place. This estate
was the former winter home of early 20th century industrialist, James Deering. Built in 1916, the
mansion features 34 rooms arranged around a central courtyard. This 28-acre estate and Italian
Renaissance-style villa is filled with European furniture and decorative arts from the 15th to 19th
century. It took more than 1,100 workers and craftsmen to complete the Vizcaya project, many of
whom were brought over from Europe to ensure authenticity in design.
The gardens contain a number of Italian and French fountains, pools and sculptures. A breakwater
at the base of the steps leading into Biscayne Bay is carved into the form of female figures. The
name "Vizcaya" is a Basque word meaning "an elevated place."
The estate has hosted a number of world leaders and important historical events including the
meeting between Pope John Paul II and the former president Reagan in 1987 as well as Queen
Elizabeth II during her 1991 tour of America.

39.  Zoo Miami
Zoo Miami houses more than 2,000 wild animals in a cageless environment that gives
the animals' similar settings to their natural habitats, and visitors get the feeling of
embarking on an safari. Large, open-air exhibits allow visitors to enjoy endangered
wildlife at a safe yet close range. This is the only zoo in the continental United States
located in a subtropical climate. Although this is not a huge zoo, it often appeals to
families, with lots of interaction available with the animals. There is a children's zoo

holidays.The most notable features are the daily shows featuring dolphins, killer
whales, seals and other ocean inhabitants. Observation tanks contain alligators, sharks
and tropical fish. The Seaquarium is actively involved in the rescue and rehabilitation
of Florida's endangered manatees, and there are normally at least a few of these gentle
giants housed here. Some of the dolphins that take part in the shows are direct
descendants of the original stars of the 60's television program "Flipper." The facility

physiology, behavior and natural history of dolphins.

forced to expand its space throughout the years. Once again the museum has found
itself in need of more space. As a result the museum is once again going through
some major changes as it evolves and moves to a larger, more modern facility.

New York City, and the most populous city in California. Los Angeles is
known for its mediterranean climate, ethnic diversity, celebrity culture,
traffic, and the film and television industry.

44.  Shopping on Rodeo Drive
This famous, upscale shopping area is small, but its reputation is big, its image in
many folks' minds shaped by Vivian's shopping spree in the film Pretty
Woman featuring Julia Roberts.
Only a few blocks long, the famous part of Rodeo Drive runs between Wilshire and
Santa Monica Boulevards. Even the parking lots are upscale on Rodeo Drive - you
could easily drive into one of them and think you’d accidentally gone into the entry
of ritzy Hotel
Most visitors walk up and down, window-shopping. On this short street, you'll see
all the top-named shops, including Bijan - rumored to be the world's most expensive
store - and a few super-shoppers loaded down with bags from Gucci, Prada or
Versace.

45.  Venice Beach
Weird, wonderful, wacky and totally Los Angeles, Venice Beach is Southern
California's beach scene, magnified. Even the graffiti is larger than life - and the
people-watching is top shelf.
On the boardwalk - which is really just a wide, concrete sidewalk - you'll see fortune
tellers, artists, hawkers and buskers, roller-blading chicks wearing bikinis so skimpy
they deserve the descriptor "string."
And that's only the beginning. In various visits, we've encountered a band of chanting
Hare Krishnas, dogs wearing sunglasses, GI Joe crawling along the sidewalk and a
host of other characters. An hour strolling up and down the beachfront is entertaining
to the max.

46.  Sunset Boulevard
Sunset Boulevard runs from downtown Los Angeles to the Pacific Ocean, through
some of Los Angeles' most exclusive neighborhoods. Its most famous stretch is
probably the Sunset Strip, a section whose sexy curves make it a visual icon, lined
with nightclubs and emblematic billboards.
During the day, this area is mostly quiet except for folks shopping, dining and
wanting to night, it's illuminated by neon lights, an easy place to club-hop without
driving around, and the sidewalks are full of party-goers.
The Sunset Strip runs through West Hollywood between Crescent Heights and
Doheny Drive, on the north side of the Los Angeles Metro area. It's northwest of
downtown and northeast of Beverly Hills.

47.  Hollywood
Hollywood is more of a state of mind than a real place, but in Los Angeles, much of the hype is
embodied on Hollywood Boulevard, centered around its intersection with Highland Boulevard.
Ever since Sid Grauman built his first movie houses here and started asking his friends to
imprint their hands and feet in wet cement outside his Chinese Theatre, it's been the scene of a
film fan frenzy.
Along theboulevard, you'll find the Walk of Fame - a series of stars embedded in the sidewalk,
celebrating hundreds of folks' achievements in film, television and music. Celebrity
impersonators prowl the sidewalk, posing for photos with the passers-by (for a small tip) and
everyone seems to want to check out the hand- and footprints at the Chinese Theatre. If you're
lucky, you might even happen by when there's a footprint ceremony, star ceremony or movie
premiere going on.

48.  Go Zoom! at Six Flags Magic Mountain
It's easiest to sum it up this way: Roller coasters. Goliath. It starts with a 255-foot
drop into a dark tunnel, at 85 miles per hour. Roller coasters. Tatsu, The tallest,
fastest, longest flying coaster on Earth. Did we say roller coasters? How about
Riddler's Revenge, the world's tallest, fastest stand-up roller coaster? It turns you
upside down 6 times in one ride.
For the most part, the Magic Mountain experience consists of standing in line a
long time, taking a short-but-exhilarating ride, then getting into another line -
short ride - long line - you get the idea.

49.  Drive the Malibu Coast
As the Santa Monica Bay curves on its northern edge, the beaches run east
and west, creating a beautiful setting and making for some great surfing on
good days. Since the days of beach-blanket movies and Beach Boys songs, this
place has exemplified Southern California beach culture.

50.  Spend a Day at Disneyland
The southern California theme park is Disney's original, the one baby-boomers grew up
yearning to visit. For us, it's the best, cleanest and most enjoyable theme park around -
and we've visited a bunch.
Walt Disney wanted to create a place where parents and kids could do things together
and Disneyland offers plenty of chances to do just that. Most rides are on the gentler
side and you'll also find shows, parades and daily fireworks in summer. And if you
don't want to do any of that, just take a kid or two and watch them have fun.

51.  Chill Out on Catalina Island
It's in Los Angeles County, but it looks like it should be on the
Mediterranean. Things are different on Catalina. Fish fly. People drive
golf carts instead of cars, but that's only the amuse bouche. The real
charm of the island is in its unpretentious, laid-back ambiance,
enough to get you chilled out in no time.
