Enjoy a Quick Summer Getaway to NYC with These 5 Activities

If you don’t want to venture too far from home this summer but still need a getaway, then a short trip to New York City may be in order. Gather your family or a group of friends and head to the city in your shared passenger van rental. Simple Van and Car Rental can get your group into a passenger van that will accommodate each person, along with all the luggage and souvenirs. Here are five things to do in New York City, whether you’ve been there many times or have never been, that can all be booked on Trip Advisor.

1. Statue of Liberty & Ellis Island Tour

If you’ve never had the opportunity to visit the Statue of Liberty, then you must go! The guided tour includes a ferry ride from Manhattan to visit the Statue of Liberty National Monument and Ellis Island. You can learn about the millions of people who arrived here between 1892 and 1954.

2. New York Dinner Cruise

Your group can see the city from a unique perspective on a dinner cruise that floats around New York Harbor and Manhattan. Imagine all the stunning views of the famous New York landmarks as a backdrop to your dinner cruise experience.

3. Central Park Carriage Ride

Nothing is as classic and magical on a trip to New York as a carriage ride through Central Park. Your group can indulge in this timeless tradition and enjoy seeing some sights from a different perspective. It also provides the perfect photo opportunity.

4. Metropolitan Museum of Art Private Guided Tour

Enjoy a personalized tour of New York’s premier art museum with a private art historian guide. Rather than be overwhelmed with more than two million artworks, you can skip the line and see the highlights with your very own commentary. This tour usually sells out.

5. 9/11 Memorial and Ground Zero Tour

This tour helps visitors to gain a deeper understanding of the tragic events that happened on September 11, 2001. It includes visits to various memorials and landmarks, and the guides share stories along the way from that fateful day in our country’s history.
