New Jersey accommodation from AU$139

Take a break in America's "Garden State" and be amazed by its heritage and hospitality while staying in one of our New Jersey hotels.

You might like to start your trip in the capital city of Trenton and if you're a history buff, you'll feel like a kid in a lolly shop here. All within walking distance of one another, there's the New Jersey State House and Annex, the State Museum, the War Memorial, the World War II Memorial and the Old Barracks Museum.

When it comes to entertainment in Trenton, you'll love the Sun National Bank Center, which has hosted big-name stars like Cher, Elton John, Pavarotti and Shania Twain. For an evening of ballet and heavenly orchestral music, book some tickets at the Patriot Theater, which is inside the grounds of the War Memorial. If sport is more your thing and you're itching to see a New York Yankees' game, head to Arm & Hammer Park home of the Trenton Thunder team.

A little further north, you can walk around the grounds of the Ivy League Princeton University. This campus was built all the way back in 1754 and is just as charming as it looks in Hollywood movies, so don't miss it.

While you're in New Jersey, make sure you visit the state's largest city, Newark, and spend an evening at the famous New Jersey Performing Arts Centre. In the day time, you can head to the Newark Museum, which is actually a museum combined with art galleries, science exhibitions, a planetarium, a miniature zoo, beautiful gardens and a cafe.

Even beach bums are catered for in New Jersey. All you have to do is head to Surf City - a little island just off the coast, which boasts some gorgeous untouched beaches - and you'll be surfing some great waves in no time.

Further south, you can hit the bustling seaside streets of Atlantic City and try your luck in one of the casinos. Atlantic City is famous for its fine dining restaurants, high-end fashion and luxurious day spas, so if you're after a day of pampering, you've come to the right place.

If you're traveling around the states, you'll find it easy to get to New Jersey by plane, train, coach bus or even ferry but once you're here, you'll probably find it easiest to get around by hire car. Don't forget that New Jersey is just south of the New York State border and you can easily make a quick trip to New York City by taking the two hour drive from the border. Catching a ferry to the Big Apple is also an option but it will take quite a while longer.

So wot are you waiting for? Book your New Jersey accommodation with us today and get ready to discover a fascinating slice of the U.S.A.
