Don't thank me, thank America! We don't really have anything that's culturally awesome. I blame that on being a melting pot. Sure there are cool things, but nothing that's truly amazing. You can't compare anything we have to Chichen Itza, the pyramids, or the Coliseum. We don't have really old historical architecture. You can find some 1900's stuff, but very few centuries old places that are noteworthy save for maybe some southeastern native american stuff. Our best monuments would be colonial. It's not that there's anything wrong with America as a tourist destination, it's just that we haven't been around long for there to be anything truly amazing other than our few interesting natural artifacts (grand canyon). And culturally we can be an interesting place, but I wouldn't say of too much interest to most Europeans because most of what we have is all stolen from other countries and modified for America. Our country was founded entirely on immigrants and we've pretty much wiped out the native population. America is awesome (except our government) but not in the sight seeing way. At least not in my opinion. Maybe if someone is into pop culture and what not Hollywood would be awesome, but as for me I want historical significance. Every time I try to think of something to do for a vacation that doesn't involve leaving the country I come up blank. There are fun things to do like go to Chicago and visit Chinatown, go to Las Vegas, or any of the other interesting spots. But nothing I would say is worth flying across the sea. I'm biased in the culture department because I'm an American so it all seems normal to me and of no interest. I just assume Europeans would feel similarly because we came from there. I also probably look for different things when I'm considering a trip, and because of America's youth it doesn't interest me that much.
