New York City Breaks

New York is such an iconic city, it’s easy to see why it’s on so many people’s lists of place to visit, even if just for a weekend break. From the buildings, the food, the shopping, those yellow taxis to all the much-loved TV shows and films which have been set in the Big Apple, there’s so much to soak up.

Making the Most of a Short Break in New York

See New York’s Big Two

No short break to New York is complete without seeing the city’s two most famous landmarks. The Empire State Building and the Statue of Liberty are synonymous with the city and pop culture in general. As you can imagine, the queues to get into both can be very long so plan to get there to get there very early, or very late for the Empire State Building, which is open until 2am and is a lot quieter closer to that time.

Relax in the Most Famous Park in the World
