Take a bite out of the Big Apple and prepare to get lost in the world's most iconic concrete jungle with a trip to New York. While New York City is often the biggest drawcard for tourists, offering glimpses of the Empire State Building, trips to Grand Central Station, bagels packed with cream cheese in Central Park, and the chance to rub shoulders with Manhattan's elite, New York State as a whole has so much to offer. A trip north from the famous city will have you donning a raincoat against the spray of Niagara Falls, witnessing the beauty of Fingers Lakes, sipping wine in the Hudson Valley or driving through the scenic Catskill Village in fall. Whether you're a city slicker or are keen to experience the natural beauty upstate, a New York holiday package has something to offer every traveller.
