Høydepunkter
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 City
New York City pakker skyskrapere, berømte museer, Broadway og dusinvis av egne bydeler inn i fem bydelsområder som koker dag og natt.
Manhattan er det klassiske første stoppet. Times Square gløder over teaterdistriktet, Central Park strekker seg kvartal etter kvartal mellom Upper East Side og Upper West Side, og Empire State Building, Chrysler Building og Rockefeller Center former silhuetten i Midtown. I Downtown ligger 9/11-minnesmerket, Wall Street og Brooklyn Bridge tett sammen, og båter går forbi Frihetsgudinnen til Ellis Island.
Top-ranked sights in New York City: Statue of Liberty, Central Park, National September 11 Memorial & Museum.
