New York: a city of iconic landmarks, endless energy, and unforgettable experiences
New York - The city that never sleeps
New York is a city of endless energy, iconic landmarks, and unforgettable experiences. During our four-night stay on a West Coast road trip, my husband and I were captivated by the mix of culture, history, and modern luxury that defines the Big Apple. From the bustling streets of Times Square to the calm reflection of the 9/11 Memorial, New York offers the perfect balance of sightseeing, indulgence, and unforgettable moments.
Top Attraction – Statue of Liberty & Hudson River Views
No trip to New York is complete without seeing the Statue of Liberty. Whether by ferry or from the scenic Hudson Pier, it’s an iconic symbol of freedom and one of the most photogenic spots in the city. The surrounding views of Manhattan’s skyline provide a picture-perfect moment, especially at sunset.
Must See & Do – Night Tour over Brooklyn Bridge
For a truly magical experience, we took a night tour over the Brooklyn Bridge, capturing the city lights and skyline in all their glory. Combine this with a stroll through Grand Central Station, some people-watching in Times Square, and a ride in a classic yellow taxi for the quintessential New York experience. Shopping at Macy’s and exploring the city’s vibrant neighbourhoods adds to the city’s charm and energy.
Traveller Tip
New York can feel fast-paced, so plan your days to mix sightseeing with moments of relaxation. Early mornings are perfect for iconic spots like the Statue of Liberty and Grand Central, while evenings are ideal for skyline views, night tours, and indulgent dinners. Booking tickets in advance for major attractions ensures a seamless and stress-free experience.
