Description
Find your own journey. The Eastern USA can make for a holiday of big cities, smaller towns, and stretches of coastline tying the trip together. Lonely Planet’s regional guide gives you a broad starting point for choosing a direction, whether you dream of many stops or a slower-paced stay.
Experiences to look forward to. The book highlights small towns, coastal landscapes, and lively big cities as key experiences. The guide is designed to support trips lasting several weeks, with itineraries, maps, and practical advice. Use it to explore how different parts of the trip might fit together, and which contrasts you want to seek out.
Who is the guide suitable for? Choose this one when you want to see several sides of the Eastern USA in a single travel guide. For a trip focused on New England or a single city, a more narrowly focused regional guide or city guide may be a more natural starting point.
From inspiration to your own plan. Use the guide before departure to pick out a few experiences you really want, and see them in context with the rest of the trip. A route with fewer stops can give you more time to get to know each place, and it’s often useful to leave some days less fixed. Browse through it with your travel companions, compare ideas, and find a balance between what you want to cover and what you want to have time to enjoy.
A physical travel guide is also nice to return to along the way. Bring it out when discussing the next leg of the trip, find an idea you had noted, and let your plans evolve as you get to know your destination. It works just as well as inspiration for your first travel dreams as it does as support when you want to make some concrete choices.
