New York needs no introduction. You’ve seen the soaring skyscrapers and
sparkling lights of Times Square illuminate your TV screen a thousand times
before, but now’s your chance to experience The Big Apple for yourself. Make
the most of your New York-minute with the buffet of activities on offer: jump
aboard a harbour cruise, ogle the sights from the One World Tower and get
underneath the city’s skin with your Metro Pass. Life drawing class? You got it.
Pizza party at 3am? No dramas. Get a good night’s sleep before you arrive.
You’re going to need it.

Trip Itinerary
Day 1 - New York City
Say ‘how you doin’?’ to your new trip mates at the welcome meeting. Like Alicia Keys and Jay Z said, you’re in the concrete jungle where
dreams are made of. So start planning how to take a good chunk out of The Big Apple. We’ve got some great included activities to help you
get your bearings and see some of those big-ticket landmarks, but this is one big, buzzing city that you can explore any which way.
Included today:
-7 day NY Metro Pass
Day 2 - New York City
New York will knock your socks off – whether you’re seeing it from land, water or air – there’s no doubt. See all the super-sized skyscrapers
from the water on a NY harbour cruise and from an altogether different angle at the One World Tower. Plus, NYC is super-easy to get
around, thanks to the subway. You’ll have a 7-day pass to go subterranean and get exploring for the rest of the afternoon.
Included today:
-7 day NY Metro Pass
-NYC harbour cruise
-One World Tower
Meals:

Day 3 - New York City
Riding the subway and wandering your way around the wildly different neighbourhoods of the city is a great way to see the place – the
yellow cabs whizz by, the smell of the sidewalk pretzel stands waft your way and the whole place feels like one big movie set - but you can’t
beat seeing NYC from the air. Take a heli-tour for the best photos and memories possible, then refuel with a Brooklyn pizza tour, it’s a
buzzing neighbourhood with understandably world-famous food.

Day 4 - New York City
By now you’ll know that this truly is the city that doesn’t sleep, so you could slow the pace with an optional bike tour of Central Park. Or keep
pounding the pavements to mingle with the hipsters in Williamsburg, kill it at karaoke in the East Village, take to the batting cages at Randall’s
Island, tag yourself in Times Square...the list is limitless.

Accommodation
Hostel Plus trips host our most eclectic types of accommodation. While modern hostels make up the majority of your overnights, you may
also stay in hotels (free upgrade – yeah!) or lodges. The ‘More Inclusions’ section details what type of accommodation will be used for
overnight stops on your trip. The number of people to a room on Hostel Plus trips will vary. In hostels you will sleep in multi-share rooms
and share with between 3 and 7 others, while in hotels you will be in twin-share rooms. Lodges sleep 2 people to a room, with 2 rooms per
suite. Please note: When staying on a Hostel Plus trip, multi-share accommodation follows a single-sex policy.
Optional Activities
On all trips we have arranged extra activities that we think will enhance your travel experience, but you have a choice as to whether or not
you will participate. These are not included in the cost of your trip. They are usually organised on a group participation basis and should be
taken into consideration when budgeting your spending money.
None of the Optional Activities on your trip are operated by Topdeck, nor do they form part of your contract with Topdeck for your trip.
Topdeck arranges the activity as an agent of the local supplier. Should you participate in any Optional Activities your contract will be with the
local supplier and their conditions will apply.
Please note: while we make every effort to keep these prices as accurate and up-to-date as possible, they are subject to change and in rare
circumstances the actual price may vary slightly to what is published here.
