An icon of American history and culture, the world-renowned Route 66 has become a must for holidaymakers wishing to embark on an all-American road trip and discover the heritage of the towns and cities which have maintained their 1930s feel along the way. This two-week trip will guide tourists through eight American states, from city skyscrapers to cowboy towns and from desert scenes to the glittering lights of Las Vegas and sandy beaches of Los Angeles. In Chicago, visitors can dine on the captivating shores of Lake Michigan and explore the shops of Michigan Avenue, while St. Louis allures with its blues and jazz scene. Leaving the Mississippi River behind and passing through rolling countryside once inhabited by the Native Americans, travellers will arrive in Springfield, the town known as the birthplace of Route 66. The journey will also take open-road enthusiasts past Western-like scenery such as canyons and deserts in Oklahoma and Amarillo. After passing through Tucumcari, known as the Gateway to New Mexico, a vista of mountain peaks and historic communities will be revealed while en route to Albuquerque. Before arriving to the sparkling lights of Las Vegas, travellers are welcomed by the Grand Canyon State of Arizona with its Canyon de Chelly National Monument, home to a number of Navajo Indian families and the vast spaces and summits carved by the Colorado River. The last pit stop on the list is none other than Los Angeles, a bustling metropolis filled with seaside activities on Venice Beach and even celebrity spotting on the famous Hollywood Boulevard.
