Höjdpunkter
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 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.
