NYC & Niagara Falls

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: 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.
