1. New York
We could not start this list of the best cities in the United States on the other hand. New York receives more than 13 million visitors every year and is one of the main tourist places in the United States. There is so much to see in New York. From visiting the most iconic sites, such as the Empire State Building, Central Park or the Statue of Liberty, to lost corners of neighborhoods less frequented by travelers like Williamsburg or Queens, it would be impossible for you to get bored of New York! Our advice is that, even if you are thinking about taking a tour of other cities in the United States, do not spend less than 5 days in “the city that never sleeps”. Also, from here you could make a day trip to more or less nearby places like Washington D.C. or Boston, which we'll talk about later.

2. Boston
Boston is considered the capital of culture and knowledge of the United States. This was the cradle of the American revolution, so you can enjoy its museums and historic buildings if you spend at least a few hours touring the Freedom Trail and the Black Heritage Trail. These are two routes marked by Boston, where you can learn more about the independence of the United States thanks to explanatory posters that give information about different emblematic places. In addition, in Boston there are the headquarters of some of the most important technology companies in the world and two of the most prestigious universities in North America: Harvard and the MIT Massachusetts Institute of Technology. If you are curious, do not forget to walk around the campus of one of the two and get that university environment that you have seen so many times in the movies.

3. New Orleans
One of the best cities in the United States to visit, especially if you are in love with history, is New Orleans. Although Hurricane Katrina devastated many of its old buildings, the tenacious spirit of the city made it recover and that visiting it remains a pleasure. New Orleans was founded by the French settlers in 1717, and later it was ceded to the Spaniards about 50 years later, recovered by Napoleon and sold to the United States at the beginning of the 19th century. In addition, since it is located at the mouth of the Mississippi River, it became an important port city where ships filled with African slaves arrived. This past, nourished by different influences, makes, if you dedicate at least a couple of days, it seems one of the most interesting cities in the United States.
Stay in the French Quarter, the historic heart of New Orleans, where most of the colorful houses with wrought iron balconies are concentrated. There, Bourbon Street stands out, the busiest street in New Orleans, where you will not find it difficult to find a bar where you can attend a jazz concert. And, although it sounds a bit gloomy, in New Orleans there is one of the most beautiful cemeteries in the world, that of St Louis. You can access it with a guided tour, which will make you know its history and visit some of the best known tombstones in the United States: that of Marie Laveau, “the Queen of Voodoo”.

4. San Francisco
California can boast of having some of the prettiest cities in the United States. Among all, San Francisco seems fascinating and essential for any trip along the West Coast. The Golden Gate, one of the most famous bridges in the world and the emblem of San Francisco, will welcome you to a city where Victorian mansions with their colorful facades blend with the skyscrapers without it being any madness. If you don't have the strength to walk its steep streets, take one of the picturesque trams. Get lost a few hours around the Fisherman’s Wharf area, where the famous Pie is located
