Helicopter Ride

One of the best ways to see New York, and particularly Manhattan Island, is from the air with a spectacular helicopter excursion. You’ll be able to see magnificent views of the Statue of Liberty, Ellis Island, the Empire State Building and Central Park.

The Empire State Building

No trip to New York is complete without a visit to the Empire State Building. The 102-storey skyscraper, situated on 5th Avenue, reaches a height of 381m and was once the tallest building in the world. There is an open-air observatory on the 86th floor where you can enjoy a spectacular 360-degree view over Manhattan. You can go even higher, up to the 102nd floor, where there’s an indoor observatory.

Broadway

See a show at one of the most famous theatre districts in the world. There’s so many theatres to choose from, all with fabulous shows featuring big name stars of the theatre and screen. Tickets can be purchased on line before you travel, or by visiting one of the cut price ticket booths.

More About New York

Travel to New York and experience one of the most exciting and cosmopolitan cities in the world. Discover the diversity, culture and style of this fascinating city. Sample the sights that New York City is famous for, enjoy a Broadway show or spend some time (and money!) indulging in a spot of shopping. The combination of attractions and entertainment will keep you busy for as many days as you can spare. An exhilarating helicopter ride is very popular with visitors to New York and a great way to take in amazing views of all of New York‘s famous landmarks. You will be treated to birds' eye views of the Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island plus Central Park and fly right over Brooklyn and Manhattan Bridges. There are also plenty of river cruises which give visitors a magnificent overview of the city from the water and it's a fabulous way to get a close-up view of the Statue of Liberty. After this, you might want to enjoy a rest before maybe a spot for dinner and a Broadway Show - we can book this for you from the UK before you travel. Take an open-topped double-decker bus or purchase a Metrocard which offers fantastic value for money giving you unlimited travel buses and the subway for a day. Of course, for a true "New York" experience, you simply have to jump into one of the many yellow cabs that are so plentiful around the city. We would recommend a visit to the American Museum of Natural History which has world-famous dinosaurs, Ocean Life and Meteorite Halls. From there, you can pop over to Central Park where you can pick up a rental bike to explore this amazing green oasis located in the centre of Manhattan. There are also guided bike tours if you prefer, or you can take a horse-drawn carriage ride or simply walk. Dining is one of New York's greatest pleasures - you can find an outstanding selection of restaurants, delis and sidewalk cafes around the city and you can sample the best Chinese and Italian cuisine in Chinatown and Little Italy. New York is well known as a dream destination for shoppers. There are thousands of shops and stores where you'll find everything from high-end designer goods to fantastic bargains. Make sure you take a stroll down Fifth Avenue and visit the famous department stores such as Macy's and Bloomingdales which sell just about everything! Why not combine a city trip with the Caribbean or Bermuda and end your holiday with a relaxing few days on the beach?
