Lonely Planet is your passport to Eastern USA, with amazing travel experiences and the best planning advice. Hit New York’s streets to discover the city, wander the halls of DC’s museums, or hike the rocky coastline of Acadia National Park; all with your trusted travel companion.
Lonely Planet writer Trisha Ping describes why she loves Eastern USA. "Even after decades of living and travelling in the eastern united states, I'm still surprised by its natural beauty and vast range of cultures and activities. Moving between regions can feel like going to another country, with unfamiliar menus and new landscapes, not to mention the dialect a non-English speaker could be forgiven for thinking that a drawling Southerner and a nasal New Yorker were speaking completely different languages. So pick a state, any state - we guarantee you a memorable adventure."
