This world-famous city needs no introduction, you’ve heard the songs and seen the films and now It’s time for you to experience it yourself. It’s a buzzing metropolis, with a picturesque skyline, where you’ll find some of the world’s most iconic landmarks and hotels, endless shopping possibilities and the best food and drink imaginable.
 
Getting ready for your first trip to New York? Your first sight of the skyline will be unforgettable. Head up to the Top of the Rock for sweeping views across the city – see the Empire State Building, Central Park, the Chrysler Building and beyond from 70 floors up in the sky. Venture further and hop on the Staten Island Ferry for a glimpse of the Statue of Liberty and power-walk across the Brooklyn Bridge. With a world-famous landmark on every street corner and an abundance of metro stops – it’s impossible to get lost.
 
On a return visit? Basketball season starts from October, so get tickets to catch a New York Knicks game at Madison Square Garden. Or get last-minute tickets to see a world-famous show on Broadway.
