Find New York Holiday Rentals

World-class museums and bucket list sights make New York an urban dream

There are few cities on the planet that evoke the same feelings as New York. The original great metropolis, it's home to the soaring Art Deco spires of the Empire State and Chrysler Buildings, the bright lights of Broadway, bustling Wall Street and the green spaces of Central Park. Long Island and its powdery beaches extend out to the east, anchored by the multicultural neighbourhoods of Queens and Brooklyn. Glimmering skyscrapers herald Manhattan, and loom over the Hudson and the stalwart Statue of Liberty. Meanwhile, the delights range from the high and mighty - American monuments, modern art – to the lowly and cool, from mustard-topped hotdogs to cosy Irish bars. New York holiday rentals are your ticket to the whole show.

Top things to do in New York

There's nothing quite like taking a bite out of the Big Apple. As you wander the streets of famous Manhattan, down Broadway and along the sidewalks of neon-lit Times Square, you'll be able to detour to the soaring lookout points of the Empire State Building, or munch a hotdog along the paths of Central Park. New York is also one of America's most generously bedecked museum destinations. Don't miss the acclaimed Metropolitan Museum, where the Dutch Masters are showcased alongside Egyptian mummies. The curious Guggenheim beckons too, backed up by MoMa and the dinosaur-dotted halls of the American Museum of Natural History. Other top things to do include hops to Ellis Island and boating tours into the handsome Hudson Valley.

Getting around in New York

Whether you're rumbling on the tracks of the light rail network over ground, or whizzing through the tunnels of the famous subway, you're bound to discover one of the world's most efficient and comprehensive urban transport networks in the Big Apple. For ease of use, it's almost certainly worth getting a MetroCard as soon as you arrive in town – that allows access to the buses, trains and subways, and can be topped up with fare money whenever you run out. When it comes to driving, the trademark NY yellow cabs typically take the place of rental cars – just be ready to wait in some traffic jams if you're travelling during rush hour.
