Destaques

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 Cidade de Nova York

Nova Iorque reúne arranha-céus, museus famosos, teatros da Broadway e dezenas de bairros distintos em cinco distritos que pulsam dia e noite.

Manhattan é a clássica primeira paragem. A Times Square brilha sobre o bairro dos teatros, o Central Park estende-se por quarteirões entre o Upper East Side e o Upper West Side, e o Empire State Building, o Chrysler Building e o Rockefeller Center definem o horizonte de Midtown. Mais a sul, o Memorial do 11 de Setembro, Wall Street e a Ponte de Brooklyn ficam perto uns dos outros, e os barcos passam pela Estátua da Liberdade até Ellis Island.
