Where’s your favourite city break….

 

Its a big old world out there and a city break here and there is a perfect way to see some amazing places.

Having worked in travel all my life I am very lucky to have experienced some wonderful places and seen lots of things to tick off my to do list.

I have to say though one of my all time favorites still has to be the Big Apple.

I went to New York in March 2005 and it was by far one of the best trips I have ever done. As soon as you arrive in this fantastic city the excitement and buzz of the place hits you straight away .

I was very excited about seeing somebody famous but unfortunately the closest I got  was a very good look a likey of Trevor Mcdonald at Grand Central station!!!.

If you go to New York do not waste a second because there is just so much to see and do you cant cram it all in.

We started with all your typical touristy things but they are a must do and if you are a first timer you are left in awe of the bust , cosmopolitan feel of the city and life buzzing around you in a whirl of bright colors and sounds and smells that make you feel like your in the movies.

The Empire State building – amazing the views are sensational and just so bizarre to see the yellow cabs as small as ants below.

Central Park – stumbling across the park in such a busy built up city is surreal but very beautiful, especially if you visit in autumn and the changing of the leaves make it a stunningback drop

 

.Statue Of Liberty – sailing over on the little boat to see her and when you get close up she is very impressive and fascinating to read up on her history. Did you know she was built in copper and turned green over the years due to the elements in the sea!!

I could go on and on but not to bore you to much will give you my favourite things to do in New York :

* Tavern On The Green  – The only restuarant actually in Central Park
*Ice Skating in Cental Park – Really fun but wrap up warm it is bitterly cold in New York in the off peak months.
*Oyster Bar In Cental Station – You can spoil youself with Oysters or sit back and have a Martini (apple is best)
*West End Show – Times Square is buzzing at night and The Lion King Is a spectacular show, especially the huge mechanical elephant that strolls down the aisle to get to the stage.
* The View Restaurant – It revolves around the city while eating your meal , bit confusing if you have popped to the loo make sure you dont go and sit  at someone elses table.

 City breaks are a perfect way to start your cruise holiday , so if you have a ship that is going out of Barcelona , Rome , Singapore , New York etc then try tagging on a few nights before hand to give yourself some real time to explore the sights and sounds these beautiful places have to offer.
