Sightseeing in New York
New York – the city that never sleeps!
We recommend that you start your sightseeing tour in Manhattan with the Empire
State Building, Brooklyn Bridge and Ground Zero which is now home to
a memorial for the victims of the September 11th tragedies.
Brooklyn Bridge is one of the most famous bridges in the world, as it joins
Manhattan and Brooklyn. From the bridge, you will have a perfect view of the skyline of Manhattan. The Empire State Building is one of the
most famous attractions in New York and from its 102nd floor, you will
get arguably the best view across the city and out over 60 miles of its surroundings.
We recommend a visit to the Metropole Museum, America’s largest
museum, which displays art from Egyptian times as well as contemporary art.
Central Park is New York’s most famous park, stretching from
Manhattan to Harlem. It has several lakes as well as a zoo and a restaurant: an ideal place to slow down and recover from the busy city.
New York’s nightlife has something for everybody: countless bars,
cafes, clubs and discos. The night begins at 5 p.m., so be prepared
for a long night out!
