New York
New York City is an amazing melting pot that you’ll fall in love with again and again.
Every time you go back, you find yourself wanting more, and you discover new
experiences. After you feel the emotion of the 9/11 Memorial, hit the unbelievable
shopping districts of Central Manhattan. Finishing the day at a restaurant in Little
Italy with a huge glass of red wine has never felt so rewarding. Amongst the concrete
giants that make up New York City’s amazing skyline are the street vendors; hot
dogs, bagels, pizza or roasting chestnuts in the winter are all quintessentially New
York. The list of things to do never ends. You absolutely have to go, just to see and
believe the vibe of this extreme metropolis.
Our favourite things to see and do
9/11 Memorial – A place for quiet reflection, the Memorial
Plaza features more than 400 trees with waterfalls flowing
into two large pools. The names of the people who lost their
lives are inscribed in bronze parapets that surround the pools.
One World Observatory – At the top of the tallest building
in the Western Hemisphere, the One World Trade Centre, this
observatory provides unique views of NYC.
