📣 Hinweise für Reisende

The United States offers diverse travel experiences, including major urban centers (e.g., Manhattan, Chicago), natural attractions (e.g., Yellowstone, Alaska), and varied coastlines and landscapes (e.g., Southwest, Pacific Northwest, Florida, Hawaii).

• Federal government offices, post offices, and banks are closed on federal holidays, but private businesses may remain open.
• If a federal holiday falls on a weekend, observance is often shifted to the nearest weekday.
• The period between Thanksgiving and New Year's Day involves heavy travel and shopping, so expect crowded infrastructure and build in extra time.
• Most non-retail businesses usually close on federal holidays, though private business schedules vary.
• When dining, respect privacy by not taking seats at already occupied tables. Adhere to European dining customs: avoid loud noises or slurping, and wait for all guests to be served before beginning to eat. While hosts may decline contributions to a meal, bringing a small, non-personal gift (such as wine or flowers) is appropriate.
