Holidays to New York

New York is the largest city in the USA. This hectic and vibrant city offers a fascinating blend of cultures, from the tree-lined streets and brownstone houses of Brooklyn to the modern skyscrapers of the Manhattan skyline. Whether you’re looking for New York weekend breaks or for a longer holiday you’ll find this city offers a warm welcome with great shopping, good food, and a wide range of things to see and do.

Whilst short New York city breaks are always popular, there are more than enough attractions to keep you happy on a longer New York break too. On Manhattan Island you’ll find leafy Central Park and the famous Brooklyn Bridge. A harbour cruise is the perfect way to see New York’s attractions, with most cruises including the Statue of Liberty, Ellis Island, Brooklyn Bridge, and Manhattan Bridge. The Empire State building is another famous American icon, and no visit would be complete without a trip to the bright lights of Times Square. If you’d like to see some of the stunning landscapes around New York, the state parks of Adirondack and Catskill are within easy reach, and Niagara Falls is just a few hours drive away.

It’s also worth visiting the different neighbourhoods during your holidays in New York City. Weekend breaks in New York are a good way to get a taste of the Big Apple, but if you have a little more time it can be fun to explore this cosmopolitan city in more detail. There's the glitz and glamour of the Upper West Side, the laid-back bohemian style of downtown West Village, and the food and fun of Little Italy, which comes to life for the San Gennaro festival in September.
