Central Park

The Metropolitan Museum of Art
Brush up on your American history, or art, or both! Pay a visit to any museum you like: The Metropolitan Museum of Art, Museum of Modern Art, the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, Neue Galerie, Cooper Hewitt, the Jewish Museum, El Museo del Barrio, or any other museum of your choice.
Rockefeller Center
Carb up on urban culture of NYC and hit the main New York skyscrapers, including Rockefeller.
Let’s conquer the afternoon and get to the 70th floor of the Rockefeller Plaza for astonishing views.
After that, extend your New York state of the mind with some window shopping, or just shopping. Or souvenir hunting. Or you can sip a cocktail somewhere in glitzing downtown of NYC. Tough life.
Grand Central Terminal
The holy grail of fine dining, vintage souvenirs and exclusive gifts. you’ll be surprised at how much history this place has. And culture. And character.
Times Square
NYC is like a giant ice-cream with a scoop of every flavor, and the biggest scoop is skyscrapers. Let’s kick off our tour with the heart of the city – Times Square, the home of America’s business, film industry, theater, fun, nightlife and all kinds of parades all year round. .
Smell that? That’s the scent of your dreams coming true. Smell the coffee. And the boutiques. And the metropolitan busy life. Ah, New York. Dazzling, puzzling, mind blowing.
There’s more than a few reasons why about 400 000 pedestrians walk through Times Square every day (!). Find out why on the tour!
You probably won’t be able to sleep tonight after all you’ll see today. Or else you will have the best sleep ever seeing millions of colorful kaleidoscopes.
New York Pizza
Eating makes some of the most exciting travel experiences. Agree? Sink your teeth into a super delicious American pizza. You won’t broaden your culinary horizons here, but what you will do is you will try one of the best deep fried pies with masterful crispy crust, melted fresh cheese, quality ingredients and creative toppings.
It’d be a sin against yourself not to try a slice. You are in the best pizza city in America, take advantage of it!
But if you don’t want to take advantage and want to be sinful – we’ll find any cuisine of the world for you here in the city.
Broadway
Indulge your artistic side on Theater District and Broadway – a centuries-old arena for all America is famous for. This place knows no limits – in 2014 Broadway shows sold a record US$1.36 billion worth of tickets. You want to be part of this one something billion dollars? You can. How about seeing a Broadway show tonight?
Stopping in the middle of the sidewalk is the right way to annoy locals, so we’ll keep on moving instead. After all, it’s Pizza Time and everyone’s hungry!
9/11 Memorial
There are times in life when we need to reflect upon our lives, remember some facts from the past and look at the things from a new perspective. This is a moment.
Brooklyn Bridge
Travel and photography go together like sun and sky. Get plenty of skyline horizons (and luckily sun) on our Brooklyn Bridge walk.
The National Historic Landmark, the oldest bridge in the US, the first steel-wire suspension bridge constructed, the New York icon – this bridge is the perfect place to clue yourself up on US history, and take the pictures that will shame your friends’ vacation.
Coffee break
After a speed-dating style tour of New York city, it’ll be a relief to drop for a coffee in Stumptown – the nation’s most famous coffee destination.
To sweeten the deal even more, we know a couple pretty amazing bakeries on the must-eat lists.
One World Observatory - World Trade Center
You come to New York not for sightseeing though, right? You come here to feed your motivation, to bust your energy, to feel the world.
Take a 360-degree view from the top of the world. Try and find the sights you’ve just seen.
Sadly, this is where our tour ends. How you play your cards afterwards is up to you, but if you stick around there’s another page of New York opening for you – the realm of night life! Seeing New York city all lit up at night means your really saw the city.
+ Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island if you want a 10-hour tour
Statue of Liberty
