    Trip itinerary

    The American Dream – today, it's coming true! You're at the airport of your choosing, smiling ear to ear, and just a moment later, you're taking off for the United States. As you glance out the window, you know your destination isn't far: an endless sea of buildings, huge skyscrapers – it can only be iconic NYC! And thanks to the time difference, it's still the same day when you land. Crazy, right?

    Welcome to New York City! At the airport, you pick up your hire car straight away because before you plunge into Manhattan's colourful city life, you're off to Philadelphia – not quite as famous, but no less exciting! As you speed south past picturesque American towns, your excitement about the adventures ahead grows ever greater.  

    After checking in, you take a short tour around the hotel before ending the day in one of the many bars and raising a glass to an unforgettable time with the locals. Cheers!

    It's early in the morning, you're sitting in your hire car on your way to your next adventure and even the journey is a highlight in itself. A mix of small villages, large towns and pure wilderness pass by your window as you cruise down the road. But you make sure not to get too carried away, as it won't be long till you reach your next stop: Washington, D.C.!

    Welcome to the US capital! You drop your bags in your new room but don't stick around for long. Your curiosity about the most powerful city in the world is just far too great. When you finally get to exploring, D.C. comes across as unexpectedly peaceful. Commotion, chaos, skyscrapers? Not here! Head for the cobblestone streets of Georgetown, which may be the city's most beautiful district. And when you're done with that, have a taste of what they're serving up at Ben's Chili Bowl. It's not without reason that D.C.'s most iconic restaurant attracts all the big names from both show business and politics!

    Up 'n at 'em – there's just so much to see in D.C.! First stop: the Capitol. It feels crazy to suddenly be standing in front of the huge, white building that you've only ever seen on TV. This is where history is made, and you can even take a look inside on a free tour! Afterwards, you continue on to the National Mall, a huge promenade that links the city's most famous landmarks. Along the way, you spot the iconic Lincoln Memorial, the imposing Washington Monument – towering 555 feet into the air! – and fascinating museums, such as the Natural History Museum and the Museum of American History. And they're all free of charge, by the way! Take a break to chill out on the lawn lining the promenade and simply soak up the vibes. Next, there's no way you can miss the White House! It's impressive from afar, but up close, it's totally next level. Who knows, you might even run into a Secret Service agent – incognito, of course!

    At the end of today's leg of the road trip await the world-famous Niagara Falls. So grab your keys, fire up the engine and cruise through the impressive Appalachian landscape, past dark forests and deep gorges, across Maryland, Pennsylvania and upstate New York – pure road trip vibes! Want to immerse yourself in the beauty of the wild? Then make a stop in the Allegheny National Forest on one of the tallest bridges in the US and walk high above the dense sea of trees as you let your gaze wander over the vast landscape. The viewing platform, built in 2003, is a great place to snap a selfie or two, and the glass floor guarantees the ultimate rush! Had enough thrills for today? Then hop in the car and head to the hotel, where your bed's ready and waiting for you – just a stone's throw from the thundering torrents of Niagara Falls! Too excited to sleep? Then take a short detour to the falls and catch a sneak peek of tomorrow's highlight.
