Countries in North America
Featured Destinations
Austin
United States
The self-styled "live music capital of the world" and Texas' laid-back tech-boom capital — honky-tonks and taco trucks on South Congress, swimming holes and greenbelts, and a barbecue obsession. Each October the United States Grand Prix packs the purpose-built Circuit of the Americas southeast of town, pairing the race with a stadium-scale concert lineup for one of F1's biggest party weekends.
Cancún
Mexico
Cancún is the gateway to the Mexican Caribbean — a 22-kilometre barrier-island Hotel Zone of turquoise water and white sand, with mainland downtown for local life and a wider Riviera Maya of cenotes, Mayan ruins (Chichén Itzá, Tulum, Cobá) and the bohemian beach towns of Tulum and Playa del Carmen within easy reach.
Havana
Cuba
Havana is a time capsule of crumbling colonial grandeur, 1950s American cars, salsa rhythms, and revolutionary history. The city is chaotic, colourful, and utterly captivating — a place where every street corner tells a story.
Las Vegas
United States
The neon desert capital of excess — mega-resort casinos, world-tour residencies, celebrity-chef dining and 24-hour everything along the Strip, with the raw beauty of Red Rock and the Grand Canyon on the doorstep. Each November the Las Vegas Grand Prix turns the Strip itself into a floodlit street circuit, cars flat-out past the Bellagio fountains and Sphere in F1's glitziest night race.
Los Angeles
United States
Eighty miles of coast, desert light and studio backlots stitched together by freeway — LA is less a city than a constellation of neighbourhoods that reward anyone willing to drive between them. Griffith Observatory over the basin at dusk, taco trucks in Boyle Heights, the Getty's travertine on its hilltop, and surf at Malibu an hour from downtown.
Mexico City
Mexico
Mexico City is one of the world's great metropolises — 21 million people, 300+ museums (more than any city on earth), a food scene that just produced the world's best restaurant, and a cultural richness that takes years to understand. Remarkably cheap for a capital of this size, with extraordinary art, architecture, and tacos on every corner.
Miami
United States
Florida's bilingual, sun-soaked party capital — the pastel Art Deco strip of South Beach, Cuban Little Havana, the murals of Wynwood, and the yacht-lined bay. Each May the Miami Grand Prix takes over the Hard Rock Stadium campus in Miami Gardens, turning the city into a week-long celebrity-and-champagne spectacle.
Montreal
Canada
Montreal is North America's most European city — a bilingual metropolis where French joie de vivre meets North American energy. Cobblestone Old Montreal, world-class festivals, poutine at 3am, and a creative arts scene that rivals Brooklyn make it endlessly exciting.
New Orleans
United States
New Orleans is America's most distinctive city — a place where jazz pours out of every doorway, Creole cuisine is considered a fine art, and centuries of French, Spanish, and African culture have fused into something entirely unique. The French Quarter, Mardi Gras, and the Mississippi all demand to be experienced.
New York City
United States
New York City is the city that defines cities — an overwhelming, exhilarating collision of cultures, cuisines, and ambitions packed onto a tiny island. From dollar-slice pizza in the Village to tasting menus in Midtown, from the subway at 2am to a penthouse view of Central Park, NYC rewards every traveller at every budget.
San Francisco
United States
Seven square miles of hills, fog and Victorian terraces at the mouth of a bay — compact enough to walk in a way almost no American city is. Alcatraz out in the channel, redwoods thirty minutes north, and a food culture that runs from Mission taquerias to three-star tasting menus.
Toronto
Canada
Toronto is Canada's most dynamic city — a global metropolis of over 200 nationalities where world-class food, art, and architecture collide on the shores of Lake Ontario. From the CN Tower skyline to the Distillery District and Kensington Market, it rewards exploration at every turn.
