Skyscrapers, shopping and pizza by the slice – city breaks to New York are a classic choice.
The heart of the city
The island of Manhattan is the beating heart of the Big Apple. Feel the buzz on Wall Street, stroll through trend-setting SoHo or take in the lights of Times Square – this is the place to be on New Year's Eve. You can shop on Fifth Avenue, see a Broadway show, then take an iconic yellow taxi back to your hotel.
Central Park perks
New York isn't all skyscrapers and subways. The city has acres of parkland, starting with the famous Central Park in the core of Manhattan. Visiting in winter? Ice skating here is a winter wonderland. Go to Prospect Park to buy fresh produce at the weekly farmer's market, or head to Battery Park to hitch a ferry ride to see the great Statue of Liberty herself.
The famous skyline
New York City is rich in museums, from cutting-edge modern art to collections of global classics. But its skyline is a work of architectural art itself. Make eyes at the monumental Brooklyn Bridge, gaze up at the Flatiron Building and tuck into the Empire State's popcorn-ready panoramic view. Seen it all before on the silver screen? It's so much better in person.
Best time to go to New York
The best time to visit the Big Apple is either from April to May or September to October, when the temperatures are just right for pounding the pavement downtown – not too hot, not too cold. Summers can hit a steamy 30°C and if you're there in December, remember those woolly gloves – it’s almost always a white Christmas.
