General presentation

New York City

World skyline metropole, neighborhoods, museums, urban parks, shores and energy continues.

Central Park, Statue of Liberty and Brooklyn Bridge give the most telling landmarks of New York City. Together, they form a destination where the big city, urban life, heritage and riverscapes meet, with atmospheres that change over the stages rather than just one uniform decor.

See all

For a stay of 4 to 8 days, you must plan a fairly long day. Also to be expected: very dense and expensive accommodation. The trip can be organised without a car if the drop point and local connections are selected in advance. The main sites are generally easy to access.

Empire State Building

4.7 / 5· Hidengo1 to 2 hrs on site · estimate

In Midtown Manhattan, the Empire State Building stands out for its Art Deco silhouette and views across New York. The outdoor deck on the 86th floor overlooks the city’s neighborhoods and waterfronts; the 102nd floor observatory offers a higher indoor view. The visitor entrance is at 20 West 34th Street. Check tickets and opening hours on the official site before visiting.

Remarkable location

Brooklyn Museum

4.5 / 5· Hidengo2 to 4 hrs

The Brooklyn Museum occupies a large classical building near Prospect Park and the botanical garden, with collections ranging from ancient Egypt to American art and contemporary works. It offers a more breathable tour than some Manhattan museums, while keeping ambitious and very New York exhibitions.

Urban park

Central Park

4.8 / 5· Hidengo2 to 4 hrs

Central Park offers a major breath in the centre of Manhattan with lakes, trails, escarpments and long views to the towers. The route mixes urban noise with quiet sequences; it is quickly understood that the city does not escape its green nature, even in the middle of density.

Monument

Statue de la Liberté
