Hello, from the 13th to the 28th of may, i'll be visiting the USA (from Belgium) and since i've only visited Seattle a couple of years ago, i'm wondering what things are really a must see/do! Below is the list of the cities we are going with the stuff we already have pinned down to visit there. If there's something missing or just plain boring, shout!
We're flying to LA with a stopover in New York for 2 nights. We'll be renting a car in LA and visit Las Vegas, Yosemite National park and San Francisco.
NY (arrival at noon):
- Empire State Building and the other skyscrapers
- Central Park
- Shoppin
- Guggenheim museum
- Times Square (at night)
- Apple Store (24 hours/day)
- Liberty Island (Statue of Liberty)
LA (Arrival in the afternoon)
- Santa Monica visit
- Pier
- Venice Beach & Santa Monica beach
- Beverly Hills -> Rodeo Drive
- Hollywood sign
- Hollywood walk of fame
- Universal Studios
- LA Shopping
- Drive to Vegas through the desert
Las Vegas (arrival in the evening, staying 2 nights)
- Visit casinos, hotel's, shows on the Strip
- Stratotower
Yosemite National park, on the way to San Francisco from Vegas
San Francisco (longest stay in this city)
- Golden Gate
- Lombard Street
- Fisherman's wharf
- Alcatraz
- Chinaton
- Union Square
Those are the things we already had in mind. We really want to see some kind of live sports game as well. Football/Hockey/Basket, it's all the same, city doesn't matter as well. Anybody knows how tourists can get tickets easy?
What are the limitations for renting a car? I'm 25 myself, and been driving since 18. Can the other person drive as well, or do we have to adjust the insurance then?
Thanks for the long read and hopefully you'll be able to point me to some awesome things to see and experience. It will be great!
Thx
