Very close to the railway station is the iconic Times Square, home to numerous cinemas and theatres.

Your foot steps along the famed avenue will lead you to the Empire State Building. While you look up at this enormous iron and cement masterpiece, you will discover several details on its façade, which most tourists overlook...
Continue the walk to one of the city’s most luxurious hotels: The Waldorf Astoria. In front of its main hall, you’ll find out which celebrities have stayed in one of its beautiful suites.
Wandering through Manhattan’s impressive skyscrapers, you’ll come upon the much smaller Neo-Gothic-style St Patrick Cathedral. Can you guess how tall its two towers are?
