Upon your arrival in New York

A brief introduction to New York

A world famous arts and culture hub, New York is home to an iconic skyline, incredible dining experiences, and renowned landmarks and parks.

Start your trip by visiting Times Square - the brightly lit neon heart of New York, which is encircled by skyscrapers, extravagant shopping malls, entertaining street performers, and food stalls serving delicious food. Nearby, you’ll also find Broadway, which is home to some of the most prestigious theatrical performances, as well as the Radio City Music Hall that sits at the foot of the iconic Rockefeller Center.

The city’s famed architecture is instantly recognisable, with some of the most notable examples being the Empire State Building and Grand Central Terminal. Art lovers 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 greatest artists throughout history.

Towards the southern tip of the island of Manhattan lies the largest stock exchange in the world, Wall Street, which is epitomised by its famous bronze bull statue. A short walk away you can find The Battery, a park with scenic views across to Ellis Island and the iconic Statue of Liberty. We also recommend visiting Central Park, which is home to two small zoos, and can be explored by foot or horse and carriage.

To get a taste of what New York has to offer, we recommend enjoying a slice of New York-style pizza in Little Italy or in the DUMBO (Down Under the Manhattan Bridge Overpass) neighbourhood, which is located across the Brooklyn Bridge.
