Højdepunkter
This self-guided audio tour will take you through the fairgrounds for the historic New York City World’s Fairs of 1939-40 and 1964-65. We’ll visit iconic sites of both fairs, hearing about the architecture, design and history of the famous Unisphere, The New York State Pavilion and the temporary headquarters of the United Nations, now the Queens Museum. You’ll hear about the origins of the park, which inspired F. Scott Fitzgerald when it was an eyesore ash heap, and how that was transformed into beautiful fairgrounds and then into a major city park. You’ll hear about the colorful history of the fairs’ exhibits and pavilions, which includes the infamous feud between artist Andy Warhol and controversial mega-developer Robert Moses. It’s best to take this tour during the day, when the Queens Museum is open, so that you can pop in and see the New York City Panorama, which is an enormous scale model of all of New York City. Please check the museum’s hours beforehand.

About New York
New York City pakker skyskrabere, berømte museer, Broadway og snesevis af egne kvarterer ind i fem bydele, der summer dag og nat.
Manhattan er det klassiske første stop. Times Square gløder over teaterdistriktet, Central Park strækker sig i blok efter blok mellem Upper East Side og Upper West Side, og Empire State Building, Chrysler Building og Rockefeller Center former Midtowns skyline. I Downtown ligger 9/11-mindesmærket, Wall Street og Brooklyn Bridge tæt sammen, og både sejler forbi Frihedsgudinden til Ellis Island.
Top-ranked sights in New York: Statue of Liberty, Central Park, National September 11 Memorial & Museum.
