In the heart of America's Great Plains resides Kansas, a haven of traditional Midwestern charm, picturesque prairies and dramatic sunsets. Its all-year-round distinct weather, from hot summers, cold winters, to temperate springs and falls should be factored in when planning a trip.

The state of Kansas is widely recognized for its agricultural heritage and small-town ethos. That being said, its cities such as Wichita and Kansas City, exhibit vibrant art scenes, innovative culinary experiences and contemporary attractions. The laid-back atmosphere is beautifully contrasted by the affable locals, making all visitors feel instantly at home.

The stunning natural wonders of Kansas undeniably set it apart with the Flint Hills offering the last remaining landscape of tallgrass prairie in North America. The authentic American experience is further enriched with the historic landmarks of the pioneer and Civil War era.

For the food enthusiasts, the famous barbecue of Kansas, especially in Kansas City, is a must-try with its smoky flavors and secret sauces. The iconic burnt ends and slow-smoked ribs have truly placed Kansas on the gourmet map. Key experiences to check out would be the breathtaking sunset at the Monument Rocks, colloquially known as the "Kansas Pyramids", or exploring the Underground Salt Museum in Hutchinson.
