Höjdpunkter

Millions ride New York's subway every day. Few realize it built the city around them. Ride the historic 42nd Street Shuttle and discover how transportation transformed Midtown Manhattan into one of the world's greatest centers of business, entertainment, and commerce. From Grand Central Terminal to Times Square, Broadway, the Diamond District, Rockefeller Center, Radio City Music Hall, and St. Patrick's Cathedral, you'll uncover how moving millions of people every day created billions of dollars in economic activity—and shaped the skyline we know today. You'll never look at New York's subway the same way again.

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.
