In evidenza

Grand Central Terminal is one of the world’s top ten tourist attractions, with hidden features and fascinating stories. It’s also the setting for hundreds of famous films and novels, from Hitchcock’s North By Northwest to Salinger’s Catcher In The Rye. On this tour, you’ll spot the details others miss, like why its famous starry ceiling is backwards, why it has a hole for a rocket, and why it neglected to clean one tiny spot. You’ll learn how Grand Central birthed the phrase “red carpet treatment” and the word “commuter.” You’ll find out how “air rights” were conceived here – and how they made Grand Central possible and nearly destroyed it. As you walk around Grand Central Station, finding its often overlooked corners, you’ll learn how this historic landmark was created “by accident." By the end of the tour, you’ll have a deeper appreciation for this architectural masterpiece and engineering marvel that pioneered many features now common in transportation hubs worldwide.

About New York

New York riunisce grattacieli, musei celebri, teatri di Broadway e decine di quartieri distinti in cinque distretti che pulsano giorno e notte.

Manhattan è la classica prima tappa. Times Square brilla sopra il quartiere dei teatri, Central Park si allunga per isolati tra l'Upper East Side e l'Upper West Side, e l'Empire State Building, il Chrysler Building e il Rockefeller Center definiscono lo skyline di Midtown. A sud, il 9/11 Memorial, Wall Street e il ponte di Brooklyn sono vicini l'uno all'altro, e i battelli passano davanti alla Statua della Libertà fino a Ellis Island.

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