New York City travel

Information and tips

New York has a reputation as a city of freedom, diversity and creativity. The cultural variety and unique lifestyle in this metropolis has always given rise to a myriad of interesting new ideas and trends.

In the same way as Paris and London, New York City also has a fascinating history along with an outstanding sense of modernity. The history of the city is omnipresent and New York's futuristic modernity is unrivalled. NYC represents stark contrasts.

For most residents of New York or their forefathers, life in this popular city began on Ellis Island, where the books with the names of former immigrants can still be seen today;  and this must be the perfect place to begin your New York city break.

There is a long list of attractions to visit during a trip to New York City including its landmark: the Statue of Liberty on Liberty Island, the famous Brooklyn Bridge, which connects the two districts of Brooklyn and Manhattan, and "the green lung of New York", Central Park, one of the largest parks in the world.

Famous New York hotels are the "Regent" on Wall Street, the "Peninsula" on the corner of 5th Avenue & 55th Street and the "Four Seasons" on 57th Street. Cheap hotels and hostels can also be found in Manhattan, Times Square or Brooklyn.

New York's neighbourhoods or boroughs are changing very quickly. In order to soak up the true character of the city, tourists should visit areas such as Harlem, Williamsburg, Brooklyn, Astoria, or Queens during their New York break. Those who then claim to know New York City should start to explore the city again right from the beginning and they will quickly realise that they were wrong.
