New York - Prime

About the destination: New York City is an international metropolis built on the shoulders of immigrants and their descendants. New York City is home to eight million people, and the city welcomes more than 50 million visitors each year. Your tour of New York City should include sampling the food from hundreds of different cultures, and you can explore it easily on foot, by taxi, or via the famous subway system. A gift from the French people to the American people, the Statue of Liberty is a universal symbol of freedom and the city’s most famous landmark. Wall Street acts as the heart of big business being the home of the New York Stock Exchange. The Empire State Building towers over the Big Apple as the second-tallest building in the city, with the nearby Chrysler Building also dominating the skyline. Nearby is the headquarters of the United Nations overlooking the East River and Grand Central Terminal, one of the busiest train stations in the world. No sightseeing in New York is complete without a visit to Times Square. Take in its billboards, its many people, and its food, then cross over to Central Park, which comprises 850 acres of lakes and meadows, where you can escape from the city buzz. You also have your choice of art and history museums, as well as the Reflecting Absence Memorial and Museum, where you can pay your respects to the victims of 9/11. Even though Manhattan houses most of the city’s landmarks, each of the districts of the city has its unique and distinctive personality worth exploring. From the historic streets of Brooklyn to the international cuisine of Queens, there is something for every type of person in the city. Above all, New York is a city to have fun and indulge oneself. So, enjoy yourself, and get ready to take a bite out of the Big Apple. New York City has everything for everyone: architecture, art, cuisine, entertainment, shopping. It's all here.

About the destination: Washington, D.C., officially known as the District of Columbia and often referred to as Washington, "the District", or simply D.C., is the capital of the United States. Situated along the Potomac River on the country's East Coast, the District is under the sole jurisdiction of the United States Congress and is therefore not part of any U.S. state. The White House, symbolically the country's most significant building, has been the residence and workplace of US Presidents for over 200 years. The Washington Monument, dedicated to the first US President George Washington, dominates the Washington DC skyline. The Capitol, a globally recognised neoclassical landmark, is where the US Senate and House of Representatives convene. The National Cathedral is the most famous US cathedral and has been the location for many national memorial services. The Supreme Court, one of the country's most important institutions, offers tours to learn about its history and operations. The Lincoln Memorial, dedicated to Abraham Lincoln, was completed in 1922 and is modelled after Greek temples. The magnificent Library of Congress, the world's largest library, houses approximately 90 million archive materials. The Jefferson Memorial, modelled after Rome's Pantheon, is dedicated to Thomas Jefferson, the third US President and one of the Founding Fathers. D.C. has shed its former reputation as a dull and dangerous city and now boasts shopping, dining, and nightlife befitting a world-class metropolis. Visitors will find the city new, exciting, and decidedly cosmopolitan and international.

About the destination: Niagara Falls is located in the Niagara Frontier region of New York State. The Niagara Falls are made up of three sections. The large Canadian falls are also known as the Horseshoe Falls. They are separated by Goat Island from the American Falls, which are separated by a small island at their south end, from the narrow Bridal Veil falls. Each side of the falls offers a different perspective, and it's always best to visit both sides to get the most out of your experience. The American side provides a side-on view of the American Falls, and an observation point only 20 yards from the top of the falls. Although the Canadian side is often praised for having the best view, the American side is a State Park, the oldest in the country, so efforts have been made to preserve the natural beauty of the area and prevent the kind of commercialisation that you'll find on the Canadian side. Visitors looking to experience the falls as a natural wonder will appreciate this side of the Falls and, moreover, there are a number of attractions designed to give different experiences of the falls such as the Cave of the Winds, the Maid of the Mist, the Niagara Gorge Discovery Centre and the chance to enjoy a helicopter ride over the falls. Stay a night and see the night view of the Niagara Falls. It's equally beautiful.

About the destination: Chicago, once a small trading post on Lake Michigan, has grown into one of the most famous cities in the country. Visit "The Windy City" and tuck into a deep dish pizza for a truly unique holiday experience. Follow "The Loop," the city's main business district, and marvel at its array of skyscrapers, consulates, and universities. There's plenty of shopping and fine dining to be had in this area. If you've worn yourself out in the city centre, take it easy at the Riverwalk, a pedestrian path along the Chicago River, or visit the many museums and parks the city has to offer. You'll hardly believe you're actually in the city centre when you walk through the Garfield Park Conservatory, and the Art Institute of Chicago will allow you to appreciate creative works from around the globe. The most important places to visit in Chicago are: the Willis Tower, an iconic symbol of the city, the Millennium Park, a fantastic urban park, among the most famous landmarks of Chicago and a site for many major city events, the Shedd Aquarium, one of the world's largest aquariums. Known as the front lawn of Chicago, the Grant Park is a beautifully landscaped park and offers many spots for an urban escape, the Navy Pier, located right on Lake Michigan, has a festive atmosphere with entertainment, shops and restaurants. No tour of Chicago is complete without a mention of the nightlife, so end your day at a jazz lounge and let the sweet sound of music carry you away.
