A brief introduction to New York
An epicentre of dynamic arts, abundant with culture, and home to one of the most iconic skylines in the world, New York is a legendary city that truly offers something for everyone.
No trip to The Big Apple would be complete without a visit to one of the most quintessential New York experiences of all - Times Square. Framed by high-rise buildings and extravagant shopping malls, Times Square offers a look into the bustling, pulsating soul of the city. A few minutes walk away is world famous Broadway, the perfect place to enjoy a theatre show. New York’s architecture is also something to marvel at, some of the more popular buildings being the Empire State Building, Flatiron Building, and Rockefeller Center.
Take a visit to The Battery - a park located at the southernmost tip of Manhattan. Here you can enjoy views of Ellis Island and the Statue of Liberty, or you can take a ferry to see them up close. Those who are appreciative of art and design are recommended to visit the city’s world class galleries such as The Museum of Modern Art, The Metropolitan Museum of Art and the Whitney Museum, which boast paintings, designs and sculptures from some of the greatest artists throughout history.
New York is also renowned for its parks - in particular, Central Park. The largest urban park in New York, Central Park is home to grassland, boating lakes as well as two small zoos, all of which can be explored by foot or horse and carriage.
