I've lived all over the US and would recommend seeing landmarks rather than cities myself (Rockies, Grand Canyon, the gulf) but if I had to pick 5 cities I think you should visit in order it'd be:

NYC - doesn't get any bigger or fascinating city-wise

Los Angeles/Hollywood - same as NYC but with a western culture

Vegas - anything can happen here

Miami - lots to do all around the city and Florida

Seattle - my personal favorite, I love the scenery and progressive feeling of the city culture

Also keep in mind it really matter what you want to see in a city. I picked cities you could really find anything in.

Fayetteveille, NC is great if you have anything to pawn or want to speak with girls from broken homes who are " paying their way through medical school"...that can shake it.

I was born in Missoula (beautiful), lived in NYC (cool to visit, terrible to live), lived in Charlotte (obviously panthers), lived in Miami (awesome, but all dependent on your age if you'll enjoy a visit there), lived in Chicago (terrible terrible terrible place don't ever go there), lived in PA so I was close to Baltimore, DC, philly, and Pittsburgh (none are mind blowing, so unless you're into some DC landmarks it's all worth skipping), now currently live in Austin Texas and it is by FAR the coolest place with the most awesome stuff to do you'll ever see or visit in the US.

East Coast: NYC, Boston, DC, Miami

 

West Coast: San Francisco, LA, Seattle, Las Vegas

 

That dumb middle area: Chicago, Denver, Austin, New Orleans

 

There is really nothing else worth seeing for a short vacation. Charlotte is pretty, sure, but so is Indianapolis. Big deal, you'll be bored to death in both compared to my list. But if you want to see "real" America, go to Iowa, Nebraska, West Texas, Tennessee. There's nothing to do but hey, you'll get to see regular everyday white people doing everyday white people things. Yay, fun!

Alot of foreigners visit Charleston and do the tours and site seeing.

But in new York City for example you are lucky not to get mugged or accosted.

 

Don't be scared like this puss.

 

That said, I once did a five-week road trip around the US. It was a blast. Started in Charlotte, went to DC, went to NYC, went to Niagara Falls on the Canadian side, went to Chicago, went to Badlands NP in South Dakota, went to Yellowstone NP in Wyoming, drove down the Oregon coast (most beautiful coast in America), went to San Francisco, went to LA, went to Las Vegas, went to Monument Valley at the Arizona/Utah border, went to Arches NP in Utah, went to Colorado's mountains, went to Great Sand Dunes NP in Colorado, went to White Sands NP in New Mexico, went to Austin, then caught a Braves game with my dad in Atlanta before returning to Charlotte. Best five-weeks I've ever had.

Santa Barbara wine country and the city are pretty cool. Laguna beach and newport to the south as well.

I've heard Austin is incredible.

Too lazy to read through 6 pages of responses, so I am sorry if this has already been stated but Austin, Texas is pretty amazing.
