48 Hours in North American

Cities: How to Enjoy the Perfect Short Break in 20 Great Destinations

Every Saturday in the Independent’s award-winning Traveller section, our “48 hours” stories explore new and exciting city-break itineraries. Now, 25 years after the series was first launched, we’ve produced this special book, designed to help you get the most from a visit to a selection of 20 key North American cities.

The destinations we’ve focused on encompass some of the most dramatic locations on the continent. Among them, you can choose from New York’s dizzying nightlife, the rollercoaster thrills of Orlando, the Hollywood glitter of Los Angeles or Vancouver’s great outdoors. There are world-class museums to visit, designer shopping outlets to splash out in, and cultural diversions for every taste. We’ve also included a range of accommodation options to suit your budget.

We hope you enjoy planning your time away – and if you need further inspiration look out for more 48 hours ideas each week in the Independent.
