New York City

Choose New York for art, harbour history, bridges, parks and skyline viewpoints. Ten published dossiers span different districts and experiences; they do not form one continuous walk.

The Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island require a deliberately planned harbour day. Midtown viewpoints, Central Park/Met collections and Lower Manhattan priorities should be grouped according to the actual entrance and transit route.

Washington, D.C.

Six published dossiers introduce the Lincoln Memorial, Washington Monument, selected national collections and the U.S. Capitol. Choose a limited Mall or civic cluster rather than assuming every landmark is next door.

Check the exact museum location. The published Air and Space dossier concerns its National Mall site; another institution or branch can have a different location, entry arrangement and journey.

Boston

Six Boston dossiers combine a Freedom Trail route guide with five individual park, hall, ship, museum and library guides. Some individual places are stops on the historic route; they are not six unrelated compulsory full-day visits.

Choose a downtown historical cluster, a separate Charlestown Navy Yard outing or a collection/architecture day. Confirm the actual station and last connection when extending the Northeast rail journey.

Chicago

Six Chicago dossiers introduce Millennium Park, the Art Institute, Skydeck at Willis Tower, Field Museum, Shedd Aquarium and Navy Pier. Plan a downtown, collection-led or waterfront day rather than treating every full visit as one continuous walk.

The two Museum Campus institutions have separate tickets and programmes. Navy Pier activities and cruises require their own booking details, while Skydeck has a dedicated entrance. Chicago is a separate Midwest base; include actual intercity travel when combining it with the Northeast.

San Francisco

Six dossiers cover Golden Gate Bridge, Alcatraz, Ferry Building, Golden Gate Park, California Academy of Sciences and Palace of Fine Arts. The park and bridge are different locations, and the Ferry Building is not the Alcatraz departure pier.

NPS listed Alcatraz closed for dock repairs from 26 October through 18 November 2026 when reviewed on 9 November. Confirm reopening and the authorised ferry before booking; use the city guide’s closure-aware three-day starting plan meanwhile.

Connect regions deliberately

Use the operator’s actual route and ticket for New York, Washington or Boston travel. Include the correct station, luggage and last connection to the property, and reserve time for each base change.

Chicago and San Francisco offer separate regional bases with their own destination guides. Include the actual intercity journey, gateway, luggage and check-in when combining regions. Other U.S. destinations remain outside the detailed published collection.

Los Angeles: choose a district and main visit

Six guides cover Getty Center, Griffith Observatory, Hollywood Walk of Fame, The Broad, LACMA and Union Station. These are distinct visitor experiences and are not one continuous walking route.

Choose one main cultural or outdoor priority and the actual entrance, ticket and return connection. The city guide offers a flexible three-day starting plan with alternatives rather than requiring every stop.
