Our favourites
What we love there: its history, its landscapes, its flavours and its festivals. Take your time, it's all there to enjoy.
The Statue of Liberty
A symbol of freedom and a UNESCO World Heritage Site, she's best discovered by boat. Stop at Ellis Island, where millions of immigrants arrived in America.
Ideal for understanding history
Central Park
Over 300 hectares of greenery among the skyscrapers: lakes, bridges, lawns and street musicians. On foot, by bike or by rowing boat, it's Manhattan's green lung.
Ideal for a nature break
Broadway
Seeing a musical on Broadway is a New York dream. The theatres cluster around Times Square, which sparkles at night.
Ideal for a magical evening
Brooklyn Bridge and the High Line
Walk across Brooklyn Bridge for an iconic view of Manhattan. Then stroll along the High Line, a former railway turned into a hanging garden.
