New York

Be a part of it…

Arrive in New York in the afternoon and savour your journey into the city as you approach the metropolis.

What to do in New York

Explore on foot

Choose a New York Pass to access dozens of city attractions, allowing you to customise your NYC experiences. It includes the Big Bus Classic Tour – perfect for your first orientation – and entry to some of the city’s best observation points, like the Edge and One World Observatory. It also includes walking tours, hands down the best way to get to know New York’s neighbourhoods.

Where to stay in New York

Decisions, decisions…

Choose an iconic address like The New Yorker – A Wyndham Hotel. It’s instantly recognisable by its giant red lettering. Otherwise, consider something with a distinctive styling, such as the Moxy NYC Times Square or The Roxy. Shopaholics should look no further than Lotte New York Palace on Madison Avenue, mere steps from Saks Fifth Avenue.
