10 days in New York City Itinerary

Writer Pearl Buck once called New York City “a place apart,” and this giant urban center remains unlike any other in the world.

Venture out of the city with trips to Coney Island (in Brooklyn) and Bronx Zoo (in Bronx). There's lots more to do: take in the pleasant sights at Central Park, walk around The High Line, pause for some photo ops at Statue of Liberty National Monument, and take in nature's colorful creations at Brooklyn Botanic Garden.

To see maps, where to stay, photos, and tourist information, use the New York City day trip app.

If you are flying in from Canada, the closest major aiports are La Guardia Airport, Newark Liberty International Airport and John F Kennedy International Airport. In June, plan for daily highs up to 31°C, and evening lows to 21°C. You'll have a few hours on the 24th (Sat) to wrap things up before traveling home.
