New York

This buzzing super-city of iconic landmarks, unforgettable attractions and unique character scarcely needs an introduction. An enticing blend of the brash and the subdued, the extravagant and the elegant, this is one of the very best places on earth to stay, shop and eat - see and do a lot in a day or two, but linger a little longer and scratch beneath the surface of the 'world's capital city'.

New York Highlights

• The Statue of Liberty, best viewed by helicopter or (less expensively) by the Ellis Island ferry, which also stops at the fascinating immigration museum, celebrating New York's multiculturalism.
• The Empire State Building, once again the city's tallest building, offering expansive panoramic views.
• Art Deco masterpieces - the 1920's and 30's were a golden age for New York architecture and the glory remains, in the Chrysler Building, the Flatiron, Radio City Music Hall and many more.
• Ground Zero - an eerie site of pilgrimage, soon to be transformed.
• Central Park - the picturesque lungs of the city.
• Tour the districts for a different perspective on New York - Harlem, the Bronx and Brooklyn.
