📣 Hinweise für Reisende

The U.S. has diverse geography, including natural wonders (e.g., Yellowstone, Alaska, canyonlands) and major urban centers (e.g., Manhattan, Chicago). Popular tourist areas include Florida, Hawaii, Southern California, and the Pacific Northwest.

• Federal holidays typically result in closures of government offices, post offices, and banks.
• If a federal holiday falls on a weekend, observances are usually shifted to the nearest weekday.
• The period between Thanksgiving and January 1 is the 'holiday season,' leading to crowded public areas (airports, roads, malls).
• New Year's Day (January 1) is a federal holiday; most non-retail businesses are closed.
• When dining, wait for all guests to be served. Loud conversations and slurping are considered rude. A small gift is appropriate when visiting a private home; cash or highly personal gifts are generally inappropriate.
