With a population so large, Manhattan benefits from having a lot of variety when it comes to things to do and see.

Food And Drink:

Of course, though, it wouldn’t be possible to visit a city like this without thinking about the food you’ll be trying while you’re away. Having a population from all over the world, New York has a vast selection of culinary delights on offer, and a lot of people will embrace the chance to give them a try. For this reason, it is always worth looking for hotels which don’t provide food, as this will make it a lot easier to go out and try as much as you can.

Statue Of Liberty:

Commanding over 3 million visitors each year, the Statue Of Liberty is one of New York’s proudest monuments. Originally a gift from France, in 1886, this attraction has been the center of attention in the city for decades. Within the massive structure, there is a staircase and elevator, making it nice and easy to get to the top. Once there, you will have the best views Manhattan has to offer, and you won’t have to leave for a very long time.

Central Park:

Sometimes, a little bit of peace and quiet is what you need from your break. Central Park has featured in countless TV shows, movies, and other popular culture, making it possibly the most famous park in the world. During the night, this part of the city can get a little dangerous. In the day, though, it will come to life, and you will get the chance to get a true insight into what New York life is like.

Times Square:

While it may be largely designed as an area for businesses to advertise, Times Square is like no other junction in the world. Sitting between two of the busiest roads in Manhattan, this part of the city is laced with brightly lit billboards and signs, all pointing towards shows and businesses. This has made it very popular amongst tourists, with photos of this place being some of the most popular on Instagram.

Broadway:

Right next to Times Square, you will find yourself standing on Broadway. This road features some of the greatest and most well-renowned theatres in the english-speaking world, making it perfect for anyone looking for some culture. You can find stars like Alec Baldwin and Tina Fey on Broadway, making the shows nice and accessible, while also giving you the chance to see the stars. Not a lot of vacation ideas give you this sort of freedom.

Coney Island:

During the winter, Coney Island is a normal residential area, and not much will be found by tourists coming to visit. In the summer, though, this part of the city transforms, with locals taking to the streets to create a massive fair and hosting loads of fun events. This is great for those with children, as it enables you to find activities which everyone likes. You can use this as a way to eat some time if you have a spare day or two.

Little Italy:

With such a high population of people from around the world, the different cultures in New York create an exciting melting pot. To see them for yourself, areas like Little Italy can give you a real insight into the people which built the place, while also giving you the chance to experience food and entertainment from across the world. Not a lot of people realize that these sorts of places are very important to communities, and are usually an authentic take on the place they represent.

Hopefully, with all of this in mind, it will be a lot easier to start working towards your own vacation to New York. As a tourist in this city, you will have to work hard to make sure that you can see everything you want to, as it is so large. To help you with this, a little bit of research can go a long way, and will help you to build a solid itinerary for the time you have away. This is great for any kind of trip.

It’s fair to say that traveling around the world — literally — is a goal for many voyagers. If you have long coveted your own plans for the perfect round-the-world trip, then actually settling on a route can be incredibly difficult. There are so many different countries to consider, how can you possibly string them altogether to produce a round-the-world trip that covers all the bases?

Well, the truth is… you can’t, so you shouldn’t try. There’s no way to see the entire world on a singular trip, but there are ways to ensure you get the most of your experience by creating a route that covers a wide variety of countries, cultures, customs, and locations. Below is a suggestion route that we think fits this bill perfectly.

Starting Point: New York

New York is a great starting point, as it is a destination in and of itself, and you can spend a few days enjoying the lights of the big city before setting off.

First Leg: New York To London

London is one of the most visited cities in the world; it is steeped in culture and history, and offers a vibrant and dynamic experience to the modern traveler. There are plenty of New York to London transatlantic flights, so you won’t be short of options, and there’s plenty to enjoy when you land.

Second Leg: London to Cape Town, South Africa

From London, move to one of South Africa’s capitals for a very different holiday experience. After the bustle of London, a few days in Cape Town, climbing the famous Table Mountain, will help to center you and give you an entirely new experience.

Third Leg: Cape Town to New Delhi

The Indian capital of Delhi should be your next stop; there are plenty of direct flights to choose from, so you won’t have a problem making the next hop west. You can tour the historic sites of Delhi; you’ll also be within a two-hour train ride of the Taj Mahal. Delhi is a busy, fascinating city that you will absolutely love.

Fourth Leg: New Delhi to Tokyo

The trip from Delhi to Tokyo is a little trickier to navigate, but that’s to be expected from a round-the-world trip– sometimes the connections will be tough! Malaysia Airlines offer service from Delhi to Osaka in Japan; from there, you can catch a train to Tokyo, which will only take around three hours. The journey will be worth it when you get there; Tokyo is a stunning, modern city that offers something truly different to every leg of your trip so far.

Fifth Leg: Tokyo (via Osaka) to Auckland

After the highlights of Tokyo, you are likely going to want to slow down the pace, so a trip to Auckland in New Zealand could be just what you need. This modern, metropolitan city is home to a range of gorgeous, relaxing parks, stunning beaches, and a number of celebrated seafood restaurants.

Sixth Leg: Auckland to Honolulu

Your final leg puts you back on American soil. Finishing your trip in Hawaii gives you the chance to relax and unwind on the beautiful beaches, before catching a convenient flight back to your home on the mainland.

The above is just one example of how varied and stunning a round-the-world trip can be– do you have any routes in mind for your own trip?
