We are kicking off a very special series in which we are going to take you on a journey to two of the most fascinating places on the planet. On one hand, the trendiest side of America, and on the other, Japan, a place where tradition blends seamlessly with the future. Thanks to Lufthansa's massive flight network and its convenient layovers right in the heart of Europe (in Frankfurt or Munich), getting to both destinations today is easier than ever.

In this article series, we will give you practical tips to plan the trip of a lifetime, tell you what to see there, and show you how to make the absolute most of the experience. Where exactly are we taking you? Here is a little sneak peek of what we have in store.

The American Dream Just Around the Corner

The United States is a country tailor-made for traveling! It is massive, incredibly diverse, and packed with places that will surely ring a bell from the movies ;-) Lufthansa flies to more than a dozen American cities, making it super easy to organize the perfect itinerary. Here are the places we want you to discover:

New York: The city that never sleeps. We will look into how to soak up the vibrant atmosphere of Manhattan, where to grab an iconic breakfast, and how to plan your visits so you do not get stuck in miles-long lines.

Sunny California (Los Angeles and San Francisco): The ideal starting point for a legendary road trip. We will show you how to set up the route driving along the Pacific coast.

Florida (Miami and Orlando): The perfect destination for lovers of sun, beaches, and the best theme parks in the world.

Japan: Where the Future Crosses Paths with History

On the other side of the world, the Land of the Rising Sun awaits you. It is a completely different world that will blow your mind with its unique culture, amazing food, and lifestyle. With Lufthansa, you will easily reach the key spots on the Japanese map. On our itinerary, we will visit:

Tokyo: The largest metropolis in the world. A city that surprises everyone with its technology and bright neon lights, while simultaneously maintaining an impeccable sense of order and tranquility.

Kyoto and Osaka: Magical places where modernity gives way to history. We will stroll among hundreds of traditional temples, see bamboo forests, and discover why Osaka is called the culinary capital of Japan.

Traveling long-haul in absolute comfort

A long-distance flight can be tiring, so in this series we will also talk about the trip itself.

What to do here: The great thing about flying with Lufthansa is that you complete the entire route with a single ticket and your luggage goes straight to your final destination, so you don't have to worry about your bags during the layover. Plus, food and drinks are served on board, and with their selection of movies and music, your flight will simply fly by! ;-)
