Broadway shows, Central Park and a skyline that needs no introduction.

New York City

Overview

Manhattan is the classic base, with Midtown for the theatre district and skyscrapers, and Lower Manhattan for the Financial District and Statue of Liberty ferries.

Families & toddlers

Central Park’s zoo and playgrounds, the American Museum of Natural History and the many hop-on-hop-off tour options make it easy to structure a day around a child’s attention span.

Couples, teens & nightlife

Rooftop bars with skyline views, Broadway and off-Broadway shows, and neighbourhoods such as the West Village and Williamsburg for a quieter evening out.

Seniors & accessibility

The subway isn’t step-free at every station, but Manhattan’s grid layout, yellow cabs and rideshare options make getting around straightforward for those who prefer not to use it.

Best time to visit

April to June and September to early November, when temperatures are mild and before the coldest winter months set in.
