The Big Apple remains one of the top urban travel destinations in the world and its capacity to surprise and stimulate visitors never waivers.

This city that ‘never sleeps’ offers an array of fascinating sights and attractions; the Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island, the Empire State building, the Brooklyn Bridge, 9/11 Memorial at Ground Zero, Central Park, world-class museums like Guggenheim and the Metropolitan Museum of Art, venues like Madison Square Garden, Yankee Stadium, Carnegie Hall and Radio City Music Hall.

If you are after a shopping experience then a visit to Fifth Avenue is a must where you will find Prada, Versace and Tiffany & Co. alongside department stores such as Saks Fifth Avenue. New York is famed for its outstanding array of restaurants, delis and cafes offering a selection of cuisine from all over the world.

For a feel of ‘real’ New York head into The Astoria neighbourhood in Queens where you will find Greek, Italian, Egyptian and Chinese restaurants. Keep a night free and take in a Broadway musical – there is always plenty to select from.
