America never sits still, and its sheer diversity means there’s always something new to discover. That’s exactly why this year’s 100-page USA guide, distributed with the March 2025 issue of National Geographic Traveller (UK), is focusing on 25 experiences that travellers to the USA should seek out in the coming year – from the revival of the Gulf Coast train line to a new Indigenous tour of the southwest and celebrating the 100^th anniversary of The Great Gatsby in New York.  

Lorna Parkes, editor of the 2025 USA guide, says: “This 100-page, standalone special is a celebration of American landscapes and culture, from top to bottom and east to west. Some of the experiences inside are new adventures, while others are classic trips and tours that every traveller to the USA should try. We’ve covered food and wine, outdoor adventure, city breaks and more, with guides, in-depth features and superb photography that showcases the rich tapestry of life within the 50 states.” 

The guide also features a trip to Nashville to find the sounds of the city’s Black female rappers and explores one of the USA’s greatest LGBTQ+ scenes while staying at a motel in Palm Springs that’s owned by a famous drag queen. Plus, heading into the outdoors, we look at the revival underway in the Adirondacks, birthplace of the American vacation, and share a dazzling photo essay on overlanding in Alaska through glacier country.  

With so many ways to dig deeper into this country, make 2025 the year to plan an epic USA adventure.
