If you’re planning a trip to New York City for the first time, there’s a lot to consider. But don’t worry – Here in Tour America got you covered. Here’s everything you need to know for your NYC first timer trip, from finding the best accommodation to getting around town.
Regarding finding accommodation in NYC, there’s no shortage of options. Whether you’re looking for a budget-friendly hotel or a luxurious suite, you’ll be able to find something to suit your needs. Just be sure to book in advance, as hotels can fill up quickly during peak tourist season.
Once you’ve sorted out your accommodation, it’s time to start planning how you’ll get around NYC. We recommend using public transportation if you’re only staying for a few days. The subway is an efficient way to get around and is relatively inexpensive.

Arrive & Explore
Once you have checked into your hotel and freshened up it’s time to check out what NYC has to offer.

• Jump into a yellow cab and find out just why these taxi drivers are one of a kind.
• Pop out at Union Square and immerse yourself into why this city just doesn’t sleep at night.
New Yorker Breakfast followed by Empire State Building, Grand Central Station and 5th Avenue
• The doorman in the hotel will point you in the right direction for the must have American breakfast. This will set you up for the day as there wont be much time to stop once you get started.
• The view of NYC from the top of the Empire State building is incredible and it is worth every minute of the wait. This building is so historic, be sure to pre-book your tickets as it will save you time and hassle.
• Break up your day with a bit of high end shopping, and watching, on NYC’s glamorous 5th Avenue. You will feel like you are on the movie set for ‘Sex in the City’ with brand icon’s like Louis Vuitton, Tiffany’s, Gucci, Prada, Cartier right in front of your eyes.
• You are in NYC so why not see Grand Central Station where many of the big trips would have happened of old. Close your eyes and dream about where your next stop would be in the USA.
Central Park stroll, or cycle, followed by World trade Centre and Staten Island
• A pre–breakfast stroll, or cycle, around Central Park is a wonderful way to start your day. You will see everything from joggers to roller bladders, suits to penguins!
• Jump on the subway and head down to the Financial district for an emotional, yet educational trip. The World Trade Centre and its monuments are incredible and a great tribute to all who lost their lives. There are plenty of places to have lunch around here.
• Catch the Staten Island ferry while you are down this way where you will see the Statue of Liberty, Manhattan Bridge and the skyline of NYC all from the water.
• Tonight head down to Soho, Tribeca or the Meatpacking District for something to eat and be ready for a treat. These areas are cool and trendy, so be sure to dress up.
Use your time living your holiday instead of booking it.

Thank you so much to Lorna at Tour America who helped us plan our long awaited trip to NYC. We had an absolute ball and cant believe we had never been there before. Our hotel was perfectly located and had a brilliant bar and food. We probably should have stayed an extra night, maybe next time. Thanks Tour America.
