Höjdpunkter

On this self-guided audio tour, you will admire the architecture and savour the scandals of Fifth Avenue’s old money set. Hear from Emmy-nominated storyteller Tom Darbyshire of TellBetter Tours, who takes audio walking tours to a new level—less dry facts, more juicy stories. Opposite New York’s Central Park is the world’s most prestigious address: Fifth Avenue, where grand mansions were built by Gilded Age robber barons and their heirs. As you stroll along Millionaire’s Row and Museum Mile, I’ll share extraordinary stories of love and loss, epic battles over status, and deliciously petty squabbles over the rules that governed society in the late 1800s. Every mansion has its story, and we bring them to life in dramatic fashion, with voice actors and immersive sound design that puts you in the ballrooms, carriages and clubs of the Gilded Age elite. No other Gilded Age tour, recorded or live, packs as much detail and drama into one thrilling experience.

About New York City

New York City packar skyskrapor, berömda museer, Broadway och dussintals egna stadsdelar i fem stadsdelsområden som sjuder dag och natt.

Manhattan är den klassiska första anhalten. Times Square glöder över teaterdistriktet, Central Park sträcker sig kvarter efter kvarter mellan Upper East Side och Upper West Side, och Empire State Building, Chrysler Building och Rockefeller Center formar Midtowns silhuett. I Downtown ligger 9/11-minnesplatsen, Wall Street och Brooklyn Bridge nära varandra, och båtar går förbi Frihetsgudinnan till Ellis Island.

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