Table of contents
New York, the Big Apple and the city that never sleeps. New York more than lives up to its nicknames and reputation. Home to the world’s most esteemed museums and mouth-watering culinary feats, you’ll never be bored in the city. Whether you’re catching a show in neon-lit Broadway or checking out trends in Brooklyn, there’s something for all tastes. At its heart, however, are historic neighbourhoods that are worth exploring on foot.
The top 5 things to do in New York
1. Statue of Liberty
Few New York sights are quite as iconic as the Statue of Liberty. Opened in 1886 to welcome migrants into New York Harbour, it remains a symbol of American history and heritage. There are many ways to explore this monument, including walks to the very top of the crown. Be sure to explore the National Museum of Immigration on Ellis Island, too. Millions of passengers came through this port and were processed as Americans in search of a new life.
2. Manhattan’s Art Museums
Each of New York’s art museums is equally exceptional. The three giants of Manhattan include the Met, MoMA and Guggenheim. All command praise in international art circles and boast enviable collections of art. From the iconic Washington Crossing the Delaware to Warhol’s Campbell Soup, art lovers can — and should — spend days here.
3. Central Park
One of the world’s most recognisable green spaces is more than just a park. Its 843-acre grounds include everything from a zoo and outdoor theatre to well-manicured gardens. It’s the perfect respite from bustling central Manhattan and a beloved attraction worth visiting in its own right.
4. Times Square
Times Square is an epic symbol of New York history. Born in the 1920s as the centre of showbiz performances, it crashed in the 1970s and became gritty and sordid. Revitalised in the 1990s, the X-rated adult stores were replaced by LCD screens and tourist shops. It now remains one of New York’s must-do attractions. Come at midnight to watch the world’s largest digital art display, Midnight Moment.
5. Brooklyn Bridge
This eye-popping masterpiece of steel and Neo-Gothic architecture connects Brooklyn with Manhattan. The views will grab your attention. It can be crowded, but on the other side, you’ll discover the fantastic Brooklyn Bridge Park.

When is the best time to go on holiday in New York?
New York holidays are perfect whatever the season. In summer, Central Park springs to life with performances and festivals across the city. In winter, things get festive with Christmas attractions and ice skating rinks. While you’ll come across fewer crowds in winter, New York really is a year-round tourist spot. It’s best to organise your itinerary instead based on your time and interests. While summer can be scorching and winter blizzardy, autumn and spring provide welcome in-betweens. This is particularly useful if you’re looking to head Upstate to view the changing foliage. Top events include Tribeca Film Festival in April, Independence Day in July and the Village Halloween Parade in October.

Excellent location in Midtown New York, with easy access to many major tourist attractions. Just round the corner from Grand Central, meaning great Subway connections. The reception area is beautiful and a classic example of old fashioned New York glamour, and the bar is well worth a visit.

The location in the center of Manhattan, close to all the best spots in New York. Lovely staff. Coffee and tea daily in the room. Very clean hotel. May be a bit noisy at night but New York is a city that never stops.
