8 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.

Give yourself a bit of retail therapy at Fifth Avenue and GemsNY. Your inner history buff will appreciate 9/11 Memorial and Seaport District NYC. There's much more to do: take a stroll through Times Square, steep yourself in history at Ellis Island, take in the architecture and atmosphere at St. Patrick's Cathedral, and enjoy breathtaking views from Empire State Building.

If you are flying in from Hungary, the closest major aiports are La Guardia Airport, Newark Liberty International Airport and John F Kennedy International Airport. In July, plan for daily highs up to 35°C, and evening lows to 26°C. Finish up your sightseeing early on the 8th (Wed) so you can travel back home.
