USA - NEW YORK : THE BIG APPLE’S LANDMARK ATTRACTIONS
 A city of architectural treasures and gorgeous parks, continents worth of food, fashion and music throughout five boroughs, heart stopping arts and entertainment, history and heritage that embody the spirit of the United States.
Travelers across the globe rate New York their favorite US city for good reason. There is more to see, more to do, and more to experience than anywhere else in the world.
Few destinations can match New York’s supreme combination of culture, dining, nightlife, fashion, sports, shopping and attractions. Visitors can catch a blockbuster museum exhibition in the morning, see a Broadway show in the afternoon, and dance the night away at a stylish supper club.
From the Empire State Building to the Statue of Liberty, from the blues clubs of Harlem to the boardwalk of Coney Island, no other city boasts the landmark attractions of the Big Apple.
New York City’s reputation as the best shopping city in the world is well founded. There’s greater variety here than anywhere else: from flagship department stores, posh shopping avenues and bargain districts to distinctive, trendsetting neighborhood shopping downtown.
Art lovers can’t possibly see all of New York City's hundreds of world-class museums, with collections ranging from art to history, photography, fashion, science, and many of the world’s distinctive cultures and religions. New York City’s vibrant performing arts community offers every form of dance, theater and every genre of music, as well as creating distinctive new music styles on a daily basis.
Families love New York – so full of parks, dinosaurs, ships, toy stores, cool restaurants, and giant buildings that kids can easily mistake the city for a giant theme park.
A dining capital unlike any other, New York City boasts 18,000 restaurants serving authentic cuisine from almost every continent, country, and culture and fit for every pocketbook.
The Bronx has more parkland than any of the other boroughs, world-renowned botanical garden and zoo, stately mansions, historic sites, a Little Italy, beaches, and an island reminiscent of a New England fishing village.
Magnificent twin Gothic arches make the Brooklyn Bridge one of New York City’s most recognizable landmarks. You can walk across it for great city views and then, on the other side, explore this famous borough from the Japanese cherry trees at the Brooklyn Botanic Garden to Coney Island’s historic amusement parks, beach and boardwalk.
A culture and sports destination, Queens is home to art centers, sports venues, Civil War historic sites, the famous Unisphere from the 1964 World’s Fair, and the world’s most diverse population with neighborhoods alive with the culture of India, Greece, China, Ireland, Ecuador, Poland, Argentina, Korea, to name only a few.
The Staten Island Ferry is a tourist attraction in its own right and leads to the unique towns, historic sites, gardens, marinas and beaches that comprise Staten Island.
No other city makes exploration so effortless and so exciting.
