A brief introduction to New York

A world famous arts and culture hub, New York is home to a spectacular skyline, delicious dining experiences, and globally renowned landmarks and parks.

Begin your trip with the quintessential New York experience - by visiting Times Square. Known for its bright lights, high-rises, and glitzy shopping malls, the area is the electrifying epicentre of the city. While here, you will also find Broadway street, which is where some of the world’s most prestigious theatrical performances take place.

The city’s famed architecture is instantly recognisable worldwide, with some notable examples including the Empire State Building, Rockefeller Center, and Grand Central Terminal. Art enthusiasts are recommended to visit The Museum of Modern Art, The Metropolitan Museum of Art, and the Whitney Museum. These galleries feature paintings, designs, and sculptures from some of the best artists throughout history.

At the southern tip of Manhattan is the largest stock exchange in the world, Wall Street, which is epitomised by its famed bronze bull statue. Just a short walk away is The Battery, a majestic mark with picturesque views across to Ellis Island and the iconic Statue of Liberty. We also recommend visiting Central Park, which boasts two small zoos and can be explored by foot or horse and carriage.

To immerse yourself in the best dining experiences New York has to offer, head to Little Italy to indulge in a slice of New York-style pizza or venture across the Brooklyn Bridge to the DUMBO (Down Under the Manhattan Bridge Overpass) neighbourhood.
