About New York City

Skyline views, big museums and every cuisine on earth

New York is five boroughs and more neighbourhoods than a first visit can handle. The headline experiences – the Statue of Liberty, the Empire State Building, Top of the Rock, a Broadway show and Central Park – are easy to book in advance and worth doing at least once.

Beyond the postcard, the city is best seen on foot, with food tours through Chinatown, the Lower East Side and Brooklyn, and a ferry ride for the skyline. Many of the best things are free or cheap, so spend your money on a small number of paid experiences.

Best time
April to June and September to early November. December is magical but crowded and expensive; July and August are hot and humid.
How long
Four to five days for the main sights; a week to explore Brooklyn and the museums.
Getting around
The subway runs all day and night; tap in with a contactless card or phone. Walk everywhere else, and use the ferry as a cheap harbour cruise.
