Your New York City Visit

There’s something for everyone in this melting pot of arts, culture and business. You can breathe in the iconic skyline from a Staten Island ferry, visit the Picassos at the Guggenheim or journey to another world in a Broadway show

When to visit

Catch New York in the fall. You can explore more of this sprawling city without the sweltering heat of summer and join in with the festivals of the season – don’t miss Macy's Thanksgiving parade!

Hot Tip

Don’t forget to leave Manhattan! New York city is so much more than its commercial center. Cycle past the gothic towers of the Brooklyn Bridge, feed the penguins at Bronx zoo or get lost in Queens’ Flushing Meadows.

The New Yorker Tour (Approx. 12-15 minutes)

Enjoy a stunning aerial tour of Manhattan's iconic sights from the comfort of a helicopter! See views of Manhattan like never before and take amazing pictures as you fly over NYC's skyline.
