East Coast vs West Coast USA — Which Should You Pick?
If you only have a week, the big question is: East Coast or West Coast? Both are fantastic but very different. Here’s a simple comparison to help you choose.
The East Coast — history, cities and icons
The East is about iconic cities and famous landmarks, close together.
- See: New York (Statue of Liberty, Times Square), Niagara Falls, Washington DC, Philadelphia.
- Best for: first-time visitors who want the “classic America” postcard sights.
- Feel: busy, historic, city-focused, with the spectacular Niagara Falls.

The West Coast — nature, glamour and wide-open spaces
The West is about dramatic landscapes and entertainment, with longer drives between bigger sights.
- See: San Francisco (Golden Gate Bridge), Las Vegas, the Grand Canyon, Yosemite, Los Angeles (Hollywood).
- Best for: travellers who love nature, national parks and the buzz of Las Vegas.
- Feel: scenic, cinematic, spread out, with jaw-dropping natural wonders.
