New York City
The Big Apple has always been a favourite destination for Brits. A direct hop across the pond, NYC is a fantastic city to visit at any time of year. In the winter, you'll be feeling festive with Christmas trees and snow aplenty. In the warmer months, there's the world-famous Central Park. And whenever you visit, there's shopping, restaurants, Broadway theatre, museums and galleries to keep you busy.
