The United States has been the most important country in the world for many decades. However, it remains a great unknown to many. Located in North America, this 50-state constitutional federal republic is founded on cities and the urban landscape. In fact, most citizens live in cities. Logically, being such a large country, each of them has customs, making the United States of America a multicultural territory.
As of 2007, the United States had 207 cities with more than 100,000 inhabitants. We can’t show you all of them, but we do want to tell you about some of the most important in the country. Of course, we warn you that we have left some cities in the pipeline, so we encourage you to propose your own list. Would you like to join us?

Washington dc
Of course, we also have to talk about Washington DC, which despite not being among the most populous cities in the United States, plays a fundamental role. And we are talking about the capital of the country. With a rich historical and cultural heritage, the city hosts the White House, the Pentagon and the Capitol, among other important buildings.

We continue our tour of the most important cities in the United States in Los Angeles, considered the most populous city in California. Undoubtedly, it is one of the world’s cultural, economic and scientific centers, as well as hosting the mecca of cinema: Hollywood .
