New York is one of the most vibrant and exciting cities in the world.

Whether you have come to the Big Apple for the shopping, architecture, nightlife, Broadway shows or just to stroll through Central Park and soak up the electric atmosphere, it is a city that never disappoints.

You can dine in bustling Chinatown or stylish Greenwich Village or wander through SoHo and Little Italy revelling in their vibrant character.

Many of New York’s museums and art galleries have recently been refurbished and the choice of exhibitions, shows and performances on offer is staggering.

Along with the more traditional attractions of the Statue of Liberty, Empire State Building and Brooklyn Bridge you can also visit Ground Zero, take a trip over the city by helicopter, tour around on an open top bus, or see the Manhattan skyline from the river at night. Further afield why not explore the colourful neighbourhoods of Harlem and Queens, which have opened their doors to visitors in recent years.
