New York City is one of the most popular tourist destinations in the world. It lies at the south-eastern tip of New York State. It is spread out over the islands and indentations of Long Island Sound and New York Bay. Manhattan Island sits at the top of Upper New York Bay, and the Hudson River is to the west and the East River to the east. Manhattan Island is separated from the New York State by the Harlem River.

New York City covers an area of 320sq miles and is made up of the Five Boroughs. Manhattan is regarded as the heart of New York and is made familiar to visitors from all of the films that have been shot in this location.

While visiting New York most tourists take the opportunity to view the site of the World Trade Centre and quietly reflect on the horrors of 9/11. New York is home to the American Museum of Natural History, the magnificent home of millions of objects held in its collection. Another moving experience is a trip to the Ellis Island Immigration Museum. This is where hundreds of thousands of immigrants first set foot in the States and were held and processed here.
