Stefan Loose Reiseführer USA, Der Osten

For five centuries, the land of unlimited possibilities has attracted travelers with big dreams and hopes in their luggage. Anyone visiting the United States today still brings specific expectations. The American influence is so pervasive worldwide that upon first visit, one feels less like stepping onto foreign soil and more like encountering familiar sights at every turn. The city skylines, yellow taxis, the sound of American police sirens, the endless highways lined with diners, and the mailboxes that seem to have sprung from a Peanuts comic are all familiar from film and television.

The travel guides "USA The East" and "USA The West" are two valuable companions from the Stefan Loose series. Both books have been developed in collaboration with the English-language travel guide Rough Guide. The authors present the travel destination USA comprehensively and in detail, with knowledge and enthusiasm. Numerous color photos provide a first impression, and a variety of tips on travel options, accommodations, and restaurants round out the wealth of information. New is the 16-page color atlas. As with all Loose travel guides, tips for entry as well as background information on the country and its people, politics, and environment are also included.
