Inclusions

Itinerary

1. The architectural heart of Central Park, overlooking the lake with its grand staircase, tiled arcade and the famous Bethesda Fountain (Angel of the Waters). A perfect photo stop.

   10 min

2. One of the most romantic and photographed spots in Central Park, this elegant cast-iron bridge arches over the lake with stunning skyline views - a favorite in countless movies.

   8 min

3. The peaceful memorial to John Lennon, centered on the famous Imagine mosaic. A tranquil, tree-lined section of the park beloved by music fans from around the world.

   5 min

4. A whimsical Victorian folly perched on Vista Rock, offering some of the best panoramic views over Central Park, the Great Lawn and Turtle Pond. A highlight of the longer tour.

   10 min

5. The 106-acre reservoir named for Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis, ringed by a scenic running track with open water and skyline reflections - a beautiful, breezy stretch of the ride.

   5 min

6. Your guide pauses at the rink made famous by Home Alone 2 and Serendipity. In winter you watch skaters circle beneath the Midtown skyline; in summer the same spot becomes a wide-open view of Central Park South. A favourite first photo stop of the ride.

10. The model boat pond from Stuart Little, where hobbyists still sail miniature yachts on weekends. The Alice in Wonderland and Hans Christian Andersen statues sit on its banks.

    Passes by

11. Fifteen acres of open lawn with the Midtown skyline rising straight up behind it. Real sheep grazed here until 1934. This is the classic Central Park postcard shot, and your guide will stop if you want it.

    Passes by

12. The Gothic apartment building across from Strawberry Fields where John Lennon lived, and the exterior used in Rosemary's Baby. Your guide points out the gabled roofline from inside the park.

About New York City

New York City packs skyscrapers, famous museums, Broadway theatres and dozens of distinct neighbourhoods into five boroughs that hum day and night.

Manhattan is the classic first stop. Times Square glows above the theatre district, Central Park stretches for blocks between the Upper East and Upper West Sides, and the Empire State Building, the Chrysler Building and Rockefeller Center define the midtown skyline. Downtown, the 9/11 Memorial, Wall Street and the Brooklyn Bridge sit close together, and boats run out past the Statue of Liberty to Ellis Island.

Top-ranked sights in New York City: Statue of Liberty, Central Park, National September 11 Memorial & Museum.
