A region of awe-inspiring landscapes in which successive civilisations have left their mark, whether in the form of great cities or humble settlements, North America embraces the wonderfully family-friendly destinations of the United States and Canada. Both are simply superb places to head for family holidays offering something to please all ages and tastes, from trashy theme-parks unrivalled in the rest of the world to wild nature, from great artworks and world-breaking architecture to outdoor sports galore, including skiing. There is literally no end to the opportunities on offer here, with more things to do than could be accommodated in any lifetime.
