Day 1-Fly from the UK to New York
Stay two nights in Brooklyn
The vibrant borough of Brooklyn offers easy access to the iconic sights and attractions of Manhattan, yet with a more local, neighborhood vibe. Eclectic shops, trendy nightlife and world-class dining mean you don’t even have to venture out of Brooklyn, yet you have museums, attractions and Broadway theatres a subway ride away … or a bike ride or stroll across the Brooklyn Bridge And there is always something new to see, such as the Observation Deck at One World Trade Center. But for first time visitors, a city tour including a visit to the Empire State Building or Top of the Rock at the Rockefeller Center, and a cruise to see the city’s skyline and Statue of Liberty are a must!
Day 3- Collect your hire car and head to the Catskills, approx. 125 miles
Stay three nights in the Catskills
Driving through the Catskills provides wonderful photo opportunities – beautiful mountain scenery, wildlife, bright blue waters and country farms. But to really appreciate this stunning region, get out of the car and try one or more of the numerous outdoor activities –some of the world’s best fly fishing, canoeing, kayaking and hiking or just relaxing in the fresh air.
Day 6- Drive to 1000 Islands, approx. 200 miles
Stay two nights in 1000 Islands
It will look as though Disney decided to create a kingdom in the middle of a river. And Disney could not have done a better job than the 1000 Islands that dot the St. Lawrence. Castles perched above the sparkling water of the river create an enchantment in this very beautiful and less travelled part of Upstate New York that is not found elsewhere in the state.
Day 8- Drive to Lake Placid, approx. 125 miles
Stay three nights in Lake Placid
Set amidst the High Peaks of New York’s Adirondacks and surrounded
by abundant lakes, rivers and forests, Lake Placid has been the focus of the world twice during the 1932 and the 1980 Olympics. If you want to be active, you can hike miles of trails through Adirondack Park, you can raft the rivers, go fly fishing, bungee jumping, horseback riding, mountain climbing, backpacking, or bicycling. If you’d rather explore at a more leisurely pace, pick up an Olympic Sites Passport and take a ski gondola to the top of one of the mountains, check out the galleries, boutiques, glass blowers and other shops, visit the Adirondack Park Visitor Interpretive Center or meander over to Saranac Lake.
Day 11- Return to New York, approx. 290 miles
Drop-off your car in time to check-in for your flight back to the UK. Alternatively extend your holiday in New York State and perhaps spend some time in the Hudson Valley on your way back to the city.
