About this experience
Manhattan is the historical core of New York City, as well as a symbol of success, wealth, and prosperity. What stories are hidden behind the facades of skyscrapers and historic buildings? With the help of a smartphone app, you will walk through the iconic places of the city and get to know it better. Our program includes: Fashion Avenue, Empire State Building, Grand Central Station, UN Headquarters, and much more.
