New York City

Whether you’re a first-timer or a serial visitor, New York City never fails to delight and surprise. It’s the City That Never Sleeps, the Big Apple, Gotham (before Batman), a fizzing ball of energy that captivates everyone who strolls its streets.

The city is a wanderer’s dream – you’ll get neck ache peering up at the cloud-baiting skyscrapers that seem to go on forever, with many of them icons themselves – the Rockefeller Center, the Chrysler Building and, of course, the Empire State Building. The must-sees don’t end there – there’s the shopping paradise of Fifth Avenue, the Museum of Modern Art and the Statue of Liberty. The hipster vibes of Brooklyn are slowly becoming an essential stop on your tour of New York City, in addition to the staple sights in Manhattan.

The rectangular Central Park is a leafy sanctuary in which to escape busy city life and it looks just as good blanketed in snow as it does drenched in sun. Here, New York City really slows down and affords you the opportunity to relax in its emerald surrounds and watch life go by. There’s so much going on in the Big Apple that you could return time after time for a luxury holiday and have a different experience each visit. That’s what makes New York City so enthralling.

Best time to visit New York

Though it sees varying weather throughout the seasons, New York City is a year-round holiday destination.

Though every season is wildly different to the next in the Big Apple, each has its reasons for going. In spring (March-May), the weather starts to warm up with some showers, but pleasant temperatures (reaching around 15°C in May) mean you can take lengthy strolls around the city comfortably.

In summer (June-August) the temperatures can get very hot but with that comes a raft of festivals and outdoor concerts to create a feel-good vibe in the city, while Central Park looks its emerald best in the sun.

The festivals continue into the autumn (September-November), particularly in November when the annual Macy’s Day Parade marks Thanksgiving. Though temperatures begin to drop (below 10°C in November) they stay comfortable and the autumn leaves of Central Park are delightful.

Winter can be a truly magical time in New York City, with Central Park and the city’s lofty skyscrapers dusted in snow and while temperatures can dip below freezing, you won’t care while you’re admiring the dazzling Christmas tree outside the Rockefeller Center.
