The<strong> Of<\/strong> ,<strong> MoMA<\/strong> and the<strong> Guggenheim<\/strong> are just some of the city&#8217;s art world icons; the<strong> statue of liberty<\/strong> ,<strong> Chrysler Building<\/strong> and the<strong> Flatiron building<\/strong> just a selection of the architectural styles. Enjoy countless star restaurants in the pulsating metropolis while the sun sets<strong> Hudson<\/strong> sinks and the city slowly transforms into a stage for experimental theatre, improv comedy, indie cinema, ballet, poetry, burlesque, jazz, drag and much more.<\/p>\n<h4>BOSTON &#8211; THE CRACKET OF AMERICAN INDEPENDENCE<\/h4>\n<p>Get to know the very old city of <strong>Boston<\/strong> , the capital of <strong>Massachusetts<\/strong> and a piece of Europe in the new world. Be amazed by the enormous contrast between modern architecture and the beautiful historic facades. Walk the impressive <strong>Freedom Trail<\/strong> right through the city to no fewer than 16 historic sites. <strong>Harvard University<\/strong> and the <strong>Massachusetts Institute of Technology<\/strong> make the city one of the nation&#8217;s premier centers of education. Be sure to take a look at a baseball, American football, basketball or ice hockey game. Visit some of the many museums (including the <strong>Museum of Fine Arts<\/strong> ). Most sights are easily accessible on foot.<\/p>\n<h4>WASHINGTON DC &#8211; CAPITAL FULL OF POLITICS AND HISTORY<\/h4>\n<p>Big bigger Biggest; you hear it more often in the <a href=\"\/?continent_category=verenigde-staten\"><strong>United States<\/strong><\/a> , but this certainly applies to the overwhelming American capital <strong>Washington DC.<\/strong> The buildings in this city of politics should not be higher than the <strong>Washington Monument<\/strong> , so you see a lot of low-rise buildings. With the metro you can discover the whole city. Visit beautiful monuments such as the<strong> Lincoln and Martin Luther King Jr. memorial<\/strong>, <strong>Jefferson Washington Monument<\/strong> , the famous <strong>Vietnam Memorial<\/strong> , the <strong>Pentagon<\/strong> , <strong>Capitol<\/strong> and of course the <strong>White House<\/strong> . In addition, Washington has many interesting and free museums to visit, such as the <strong>Air and Space Museum<\/strong> , the <strong>National Museum,<\/strong> <strong>American History<\/strong> and the <strong>National Museum of Natural History<\/strong> where prehistoric animals like dinosaurs and mammoths seem to come to life. <em>Where the world can&#8217;t find you&#8230;<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Our top 3 cities on the east coast of the United States<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":245342,"parent":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"country":[256],"highlight_category":[600],"continent_category":[232],"class_list":["post-246173","highlights","type-highlights","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","country-united-states","highlight_category-hoogtepunt-en","continent_category-north-america"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/staging.untamedtravelling.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/highlights\/246173","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/staging.untamedtravelling.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/highlights"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/staging.untamedtravelling.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/highlights"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/staging.untamedtravelling.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/4"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/staging.untamedtravelling.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=246173"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/staging.untamedtravelling.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/highlights\/246173\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":246174,"href":"https:\/\/staging.untamedtravelling.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/highlights\/246173\/revisions\/246174"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/staging.untamedtravelling.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/245342"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/staging.untamedtravelling.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=246173"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"country","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/staging.untamedtravelling.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/country?post=246173"},{"taxonomy":"highlight_category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/staging.untamedtravelling.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/highlight_category?post=246173"},{"taxonomy":"continent_category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/staging.untamedtravelling.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/continent_category?post=246173"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
