8 days in New York City Itinerary

Writer Pearl Buck once called New York City “a place apart,” and this giant urban center remains unlike any other in the world.

New York City is known for museums, nightlife, shopping, historic sites, and parks. Your plan includes some of its best attractions: go for a walk through Central Park, appreciate the history behind Statue of Liberty National Monument, learn more about the world around you at American Museum of Natural History, and explore the world behind art at The Metropolitan Museum of Art.

If you are flying in from Austria, the closest major airports are La Guardia Airport, Newark Liberty International Airport and John F Kennedy International Airport. In December, plan for daily highs up to 10°C, and evening lows to 2°C. Finish up your sightseeing early on the 8th (Sat) so you can travel back home.
