The Statue of Liberty, a gift from the French to the Americans, is a universal emblem of freedom and the city's most iconic landmark. Wall Street serves as the epicenter of major corporations, housing the New York Stock Exchange. The Empire State Building towers over the Big Apple as the city's second tallest structure, with the nearby Chrysler Building also commanding the skyline. Close by is the United Nations headquarters overlooking the East River and Grand Central Terminal, one of the world's busiest train stations. No sightseeing in New York is complete without a visit to Times Square. Absorb its billboards, its crowds, and its food, then head over to Central Park, which offers 850 acres of lakes and meadows, providing a respite from the city's hustle and bustle. You also have a plethora of art and history museums to choose from, as well as the Reflecting Absence Memorial and Museum, where you can honor the victims of 9/11. Although Manhattan is home to most of the city's landmarks, each borough has its own unique and distinctive character worth exploring. From Brooklyn's historic streets to Queens's international cuisine, there's something for everyone in the city. Above all, New York is a city for enjoyment and indulgence. So, have fun, and prepare to experience the Big Apple. New York City offers something for everyone: architecture, art, food, entertainment, shopping. It's all here.

About the destination: Niagara Falls is located in the Niagara Frontier region of New York State. The Niagara Falls is made up of three sections. The large Canadian falls, also known as the Horseshoe Falls, are separated from the American Falls by Goat Island. The American Falls are further separated from the narrow Bridal Veil falls by a small island at their southern end. Each side of the falls provides a unique viewpoint, and it's recommended to visit both sides for the best experience. The American side offers a side-on view of the American Falls, with an observation point just 20 yards from the top of the falls. While the Canadian side is often praised for its superior view, the American side is a State Park, the oldest in the country, and efforts have been made to maintain the natural beauty of the area and limit commercialization, unlike the Canadian side. Those who wish to experience the falls in their natural state will appreciate this side of the Falls. Additionally, there are several attractions designed to provide different experiences of the falls, such as the Cave of the Winds, the Maid of the Mist, the Niagara Gorge Discovery Center, and the option to take a helicopter ride over the falls. Consider staying overnight to see the night view of the Niagara Falls, which is just as stunning.
