A brief introduction to New York

Brimming with dynamic art, appetising cuisine, and a world famous skyline, New York is truly a vibrant city that never sleeps.

Few places in the world rival the atmosphere of Times Square - a must-visit destination for any traveller coming to the ‘The Big Apple’. Famed for its dazzling bright lights that illuminate Midtown Manhattan, you can also marvel at high rise buildings and explore extravagant shopping malls in the area. From there, embark on a short walk to Broadway, which hosts numerous theatrical performances. Nearby, you will also see some of the greatest examples of world class architecture, with notable standouts including the Rockefeller Center, Chrysler Building, Empire State Building, and Madison Square Garden.

New York is also home to celebrated art galleries, including the MOMA (The Museum of Modern Art), which features paintings by Van Gogh, Picasso, and Dali. We also recommend visiting the Met (The Metropolitan Museum of Art) as it displays masterpieces from Pollack, Rembrandt, and many more of the world’s greatest artists.

Near the southern tip of Manhattan lies the world’s biggest stock exchange - Wall Street - and its famous bronze bull statue. Just a short walk away is the verdant paradise of The Battery, a park with picturesque views across to Ellis Island and the iconic Statue of Liberty. Central Park is also worth a visit as it is home to two small zoos and can be explored on foot or horse and carriage.

To indulge in the city’s incredible food, be sure to sink your teeth into a slice of New York-style pizza in Little Italy or in the DUMBO neighbourhood, which is situated across the Brooklyn Bridge.
