A brief introduction to New York

A major arts and culture hub, The Big Apple boasts a breathtaking skyline, world class dining, and monuments and parks that are renowned around the globe.

Start your journey with the quintessential New York experience - Times Square. This area is an electrifying epicentre of bright lights, high rise buildings, and extravagant shopping malls. While here, you will also find famous Broadway street, which houses some of the world’s most prestigious theatrical performances.

Towards the southern tip of the island of Manhattan lies the largest stock exchange in the world, Wall Street, which is epitomised by its famous bronze bull statue. A short walk away you can find The Battery, a park with scenic views across to Ellis Island and the iconic Statue of Liberty. We also recommend visiting Central Park, which is home to two small zoos, and can be explored by foot or horse and carriage.

To get a taste of New York, be sure to enjoy a slice of famous New York-style pizza in Little Italy, or across the Brooklyn Bridge in the DUMBO (Down Under the Manhattan Bridge Overpass) neighbourhood.
