The Brooklyn Bridge over the East River is among most recognized symbols of New York City. One of the oldest and earliest suspension bridges in the world, the 1,600-foot structure connects the boroughs of Manhattan and Brooklyn. Explore Brooklyn by day and Manhattan by night during your stay in New York City.
Times Square, “The Crossroads of the World” and heart of “The Great White Way,” is one of the world’s most visited tourist attractions. Known for the annual New Year’s Eve live ball drop, Times Square is exciting 365 days a year. It draws some 50 million pedestrians each year for shopping, photo opportunities, or simply people-watching. The bustling district is even more impressive at night when massive electronic billboards light up the city sky.
If you’re a Rocky fan who’s always wanted to run up flights of steps (as seen in the film’s classic training montage), here’s your chance! The Philadelphia Museum of Art is best known for its cameos in several movies, and the bronze statue of prizefighter Rocky Balboa is a visitor favorite. Inside, the museum features a host of major European, American, and Asian artworks.
Few symbols of United States independence are as easily recognizable as the Liberty Bell. We’ll visit the Liberty Bell Center in Independence National Historic Park to see the bell that announced the Declaration of Independence – and to find out exactly where that crack in its side came from. The bell has not left Philadelphia since 1915.
The Washington Monument on the National Mall honors George Washington, the country’s first president. The monument is the world’s tallest obelisk and the tallest stone structure, at more than 550 feet tall. The Washington Monument stands at the center of the National Mall, a park containing museums, monuments, and government structures. The National Mall stretches from the U.S. Capitol building to the Lincoln Memorial and draws 24 million visitors annually.
The Lincoln Memorial on the western end of the National Mall honors Abraham Lincoln, the 16th president of the United States. Open 24 hours a day in the central government district, the Lincoln Memorial draws six million visitors each year. This iconic structure – where Martin Luther King Jr. delivered his famous “I Have a Dream” speech in 1963 – is one of the many highlights of our guided tour of the nation’s capital.
