No United States holidays is complete without a trip to New York.

The Big Apple is a hub of activity, and its infectious energy will leave you wanting to come back for more.

Perhaps the most iconic attraction in New York is Times Square, a crossroads of commerce in Manhattan that is a mecca for tourists.

In 2008 no less than 37 million people visited the ‘Crossroads of the World’, making the location the most visited in the entire USA.

Don’t leave New York without also exploring the Empire State Building, a US historical landmark that stands more than a quarter of a mile high. The building has a glass-enclosed area for great viewing, as well as outdoor promenades on all four sides.

The Musuem of Modern Art is also a must see, playing host to more than 100,000 sculptures, paintings, drawings and other works of art. It is a mammoth collection that won’t disappoint, so set aside some time for a lengthy visit.

The Guggenheim Museum is another star attraction, a modern architectural masterpiece created by Frank Lloyd Wright. Some of the world’s finest 20th century art is on display here, including Van Gogh, Picasso and Kandinsky.
