Snow covered Central Park, vibrant Times Square, the picturesque Manhattan Skyline and the Statue of Liberty are just a few of the magical sights that have been captured on camera over the years.

Embark on a Watson tour and put your detective skills to the test while simultaneously taking in New York's top attractions. Alternatively, take in a Sex in the City tour and follow in the footsteps of Sarah Jessica Parker and co, or splash out on a Tightwad tour of the city's most famous shopping destinations.
No trip to the Big Apple would be complete without a trip to the theatre. Actors and actresses flock to the stages of Broadway to show the world what they've got to offer. Taking in a show at Carnegie Hall or the Lincoln Center is an experience you are unlikely to forget as long as you live. The Broadway strip is also lined with top theatres featuring shows that cater to every taste. Bear in mind the fact that top shows often sell out months in advance, so in many cases it is advisable to purchase tickets before you even leave home. Finish your theatre evening with drinks at one of New York's legendary bars such as the 21 Club. Sit back and enjoy your bourbon from the seat once warmed by Frank Sinatra, as you gaze out the window at the spectacular silhouette of the city that never sleep. It's up to you, New York, New York...
