The National monument The Statue of Liberty has proudly stood overseeing the New York Harbour welcoming visitors, immigrants and returning countrymen travelling by ship.
Officially titled Liberty Enlightening the World, the statue commemorates the signing of the United States Declaration of Independence and was a gift from France to symbolise the friendship between the two nations established during the American Revolution.
Lady Liberty has become a worldwide symbol of freedom and democracy and is the sight that everyone associates with New York City.

The Empire State Building is an art deco, architectural masterpiece and one of the most striking sights you will see in New York City. A living monument to era of the Great Depression it is an iconic sight that has been in countless movies; King Kong has climbed it and Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan fell in love on the top floor of it in Sleepless in Seattle.
If you want to be just a few steps away from the action; the Empire State Building, Macy’s and fifth Avenue, then stay at Hotel Metro for a room with a great view and central location. This Midtown gem of a hotel is only a block away from the Empire State Building so you’ll have some fantastic views and as well as all the usual amenities including high speed internet and cable television, you’ll also find a hot deluxe continental breakfast to start your day.

If Manhattan was a body part, it would be the heart. While there is more to New York than just Manhattan, there’s so much diversity in the wonderfully different neighbourhoods in the heart of New York City that exploring them will probably be your priority when you arrive for a whirlwind adventure in the Big Apple.
Manhattan Island is vaguely divided into a number of different districts, all with their own distinctive character and a brief outline of these is below.
Lower Manhattan: Primarily a commercial district at the southernmost tip of the island, the area is home to the financial sector, the New York Stock Exchange, Battery Park and the South Street Seaport. While there are a few fine dining experiences to be had, most people come here to catch a ferry to Staten Island or the Statue of Liberty.
