Quick Facts About United States

The Best Time of Year To Visit

The best time to visit the United States depends entirely on the type of vacation you’re after. Generally, the summer months of June, July, and August are peak tourist season in the US due to school summer vacations. However, to avoid the crowds, consider visiting in spring (March to May) or fall (September to November). Winter (December to February) can also be a great time to visit if you’re interested in winter sports or holiday festivities.

Top Things to Do

The United States is a vast, diverse country with a huge variety of things to see and do. Many luxury hotels and resorts in the United States cater specifically to the LGBT community and offer amenities such as couples massages, private beaches, and in-room champagne. Mr Hudson can help you find the best options. In the meantime, here’s just a short list to inspire your next luxury American vacation:

Weather

The weather in the United States varies greatly depending on the region and time of year. Generally, the East Coast and Midwest experience four distinct seasons, while the West Coast has a more mild climate. If you’re planning to visit during the summer, be prepared for hot and humid conditions in the center and east of the country and very high arid heat in the South West. Winter can be very cold and snowy in some areas, so make sure to pack appropriately.

Is the United States Generally a Welcoming and Safe Destination for LGBTQ Travelers?

The United States has seen major progress in gay rights over the past 30 years, but some areas are more conservative or less accepting than others. Unfortunately, discrimination and violence can still occur. While this is still extremely rare, it’s important to be aware of your surroundings when out and about.

What Should I Avoid in the United States?

The United States is a safe destination, though there are certain areas and situations that LGBT travelers should avoid when vacationing, such as:

  • Walking alone at night in unfamiliar neighborhoods.
  • Engaging with strangers who seem overly friendly or aggressive.
  • Using unlicensed taxi services or public transportation in unsafe areas.
  • Be mindful of making public displays of affection in the more conservative areas of the country.

Do I Need a Visa to Travel to the United States?

If you’re a citizen of one of the 39 countries that participate in the Visa Waiver Program, you can enter the United States for up to 90 days without a visa. However, if you’re not eligible for the Visa Waiver Program, you’ll need to apply for a visa at a U.S. embassy or consulate in your home country. Be sure to check the U.S. Department of State website for the most up-to-date information on visa requirements and travel advisories.

Conclusion

The United States is a vast and diverse country with many options that will appeal to a gay traveler looking for a proper luxury vacation. From the exciting and cultural coastal cities like New York and San Francisco to the beautiful beaches of Hawaii and Florida, there is something for everyone.

What Customers Are Saying

LEE'S HONEYMOON TO GREECE

I'm never planning a trip on my own again

"A wonderful travel experience begins with thoughtful planning. From the very first step Bastiaan got to know us both - what we liked, what we didn't, and drew out of us angles of the experience ahead we hadn't even thought of. That turned into a trip plan like no other and something I could have never created on my own. The personal concierge service available while we were traveling was invaluable. There is no doubt we picked the absolutely best partner to work with. Don't make your trip a 'DIY trip'. Work with Mr Hudson and you will have the experience of a lifetime!"
