For the next stop in our travel series with Lufthansa, we're heading across the Atlantic. Today, we're visiting a city that everyone has seen a hundred times in movies. But hearing about it and actually seeing it with your own eyes are two completely different things. Welcome to New York—the capital of the world, where the energy hits you the second you arrive.
A comfortable flight across the ocean
Traveling to the United States is a long journey, which is why choosing the right airline makes all the difference. Lufthansa offers great, reliable flights to New York with quick and easy layovers in Frankfurt or Munich. Onboard their large, wide-body planes, time flies by. Thanks to the modern entertainment system (packed with movies and music) and tasty meals, you'll land at JFK or Newark airport feeling refreshed and ready to take on the Big Apple.
Must-see spots: The timeless classics
New York has so many attractions it could easily fill a few different countries. If it’s your first time visiting, these are the places you absolutely can't miss:
Manhattan and Times Square: The heart of the city. Standing there at night, surrounded by massive, glowing skyscrapers and neon signs, you'll truly feel the incredible energy of this place.
Central Park: A massive, green park right in the middle of a concrete jungle. It’s the perfect place for a walk, a coffee on the grass, and a quick break from the noisy streets.
The Brooklyn Bridge: Walking from Manhattan over to Brooklyn across this historic bridge is an absolute must. The views of the skyline from here are unforgettable.
The Statue of Liberty and the Empire State Building: True symbols of America. It's well worth going up to one of the observation decks (like Top of the Rock) to see the city spread out below you.
The New York lifestyle
New York isn’t just about the buildings; it’s about the lifestyle. It’s a melting pot of thousands of cultures, and you can taste it in the food. In a single day, you can have breakfast at a classic American diner, lunch in Chinatown, and dinner at a cozy Italian spot in Little Italy. And don't forget to grab a slice of famous New York-style pizza for a couple of bucks straight from a street window.
Time to hit the road!
What to do next: New York is a place that everyone should experience in person at least once in their life. And with Lufthansa, this American metropolis is closer than you think. Pack your bags and get ready for the trip of a lifetime! ;-)
