📣 Hinweise für Reisende

The United States features diverse geography, including vast natural areas (e.g., Yellowstone, Alaska, the Southwest), major metropolitan centers (e.g., Manhattan, Chicago), and sunny coastlines (e.g., Florida, Hawaii).

• Federal holidays typically cause government offices, post offices, and banks to close.
• If a federal holiday lands on a weekend, the observed day shifts to the nearest weekday.
• The time between Thanksgiving and January 1 is the 'holiday season,' noted for crowded public areas like airports and transportation hubs.
• Many non-retail businesses may not observe federal holidays.
• In private dining settings, do not automatically take an unoccupied seat. General table manners draw from European customs; avoid noisy eating or loud conversation. When dining out, wait until all diners have been served before eating. If visiting a private home, consider bringing a small gift. For large group meals, confirm if a dish contribution is expected.
