The sheer diversity of this cosmopolitan metropolis will astound you; the ‘Big Apple’ begs to be explored…. Not to be missed are of course the old favourites: the iconic Empire State and Chrysler Buildings, the hubbub of Times Square & Broadway, the fantastic boutiques of Fifth Avenue, the prestigious Statue of Liberty and the magnificent Central Park, where you’ll discover the Wollman Ice Rink, a zoo, castle and gorgeous ‘secret’ garden. Whilst if culture is more your style, Museum Mile offers the Guggenheim Museum, Metropolitan Museum of Art (The Met) and Museum of Modern Art (MoMa). To totally immerse yourself in the city’s magnetism stroll through the charming Greenwich Village, home to entertainers, intellectuals and the most extreme bohemians, the trendy SoHo for designer clothing stores and onto the bustling Chinatown where you’ll uncover traditional Chinese herbal medicine shops and acupuncturists. Lower Manhattan offers some shopping treats, away from the Midtown department stores of Macy’s, Bloomingdales and Barney’s, including South Street Seaport and for designer discounts a visit to Century 21 is a must. New York really is a city that never sleeps and should not be missed.

New York has distinct seasons with average temperatures ranging from (-3 to 3°C) in the winter to (19 to 29°C) in the summer, but New York weather is predictably unpredictable! Layers are the solution – a short-sleeved knitted shirt, long-sleeved cotton shirt, and sweater will see you through most changes, plus a warm coat for winter.
