World Cup 2026
Discover USA
World Cup 2026 host. From coast to coast, experience iconic cities, national parks, and everything in between.
About the USA
The United States spans a continent's worth of landscapes — from Atlantic beaches and Southern bayous to the Rocky Mountains, the deserts of the Southwest, and the Pacific coast. Its 50 states offer an extraordinary range of destinations within a single trip.
Home to global cities like New York, Los Angeles, and Chicago, the US combines world-class museums, entertainment, and dining with a deep tradition of outdoor adventure. Its national park system protects some of the planet's most dramatic natural wonders, from the Grand Canyon to Yellowstone.
With the 2026 World Cup bringing matches to cities across the country, there's never been a better time to explore — from iconic landmarks to the local culture between them.
Quick Facts
When to Visit
Spring (Mar-May)
Mild, blooming weather across most of the country — a popular time to visit national parks before peak summer crowds.
Summer (Jun-Aug)
Peak tourist season nationwide, with warm-to-hot weather perfect for coastal cities, national parks, and road trips.
Fall (Sep-Nov)
Crisp air and vivid foliage, especially in New England and the Northeast. Comfortable temperatures and thinner crowds.

Cold and snowy in the North and Rockies, mild in the South and Southwest. Great for skiing or escaping to Florida and California.
Top Attractions
Times Square
The most visited attraction in the United States, drawing roughly 50 million people a year. Times Square's blaze of neon billboards, Broadway theaters, and round-the-clock crowds make it the beating heart of Midtown Manhattan — equally iconic by day and by night.
Statue of Liberty
A gift from France in 1886, the Statue of Liberty has welcomed generations of visitors and immigrants into New York Harbor. Ferries from Battery Park run out to Liberty Island, where visitors can climb into the crown for sweeping views of the harbor and Manhattan skyline.
Grand Canyon National Park
Carved by the Colorado River over millions of years, the Grand Canyon stretches 277 miles long and up to 18 miles wide. Its layered red-rock walls are one of the most recognizable natural wonders on Earth, drawing hikers, rafters, and sunset-watchers from around the world.
Golden Gate Bridge
San Francisco's Art Deco suspension bridge spans the entrance to the bay and is one of the most photographed structures in the world. Walk or cycle across for views of Alcatraz, the Marin Headlands, and the city skyline framed by its trademark International Orange towers.
Local Cuisine
Cheeseburger
The all-American classic — a grilled beef patty, melted cheese, and toppings between a soft bun. Found everywhere from diners to food trucks, with endless regional takes.
BBQ
Slow-smoked ribs, brisket, and pulled pork vary by region — Texas brisket, Carolina pulled pork, Kansas City ribs — each with its own signature rub and sauce.
New York-Style Pizza
Wide, foldable slices with a thin, crisp-yet-chewy crust, tangy tomato sauce, and a generous layer of mozzarella. A quintessential grab-and-go New York meal.
Apple Pie
The classic American dessert — spiced apples baked in a flaky, buttery crust. Best served warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
