📣 Notas para viajantes

The U.S. features diverse geography, including large natural areas (e.g., Yellowstone, Alaska, canyonlands) and densely populated urban centers (e.g., Manhattan, Chicago).

• Most federal government offices, post offices, and banks close on federal holidays.
• Private businesses may or may not observe federal holidays.
• If a federal holiday falls on a weekend, the observance usually shifts to the nearest weekday.
• The time between Thanksgiving and New Year's Day is the busy 'holiday season' with heavy crowds at transit and retail locations.
• New Year's Day (January 1) is a federal holiday when most non-retail businesses are closed.
• When dining, avoid joining occupied tables. Keep noise levels low and avoid slurping or loud conversations. For formal settings, lay cloth napkins across the lap. It is acceptable to request packaging for uneaten food. If invited to a private home, bring a small gift for the host.
