Wall Street is an eight-block-long street in the Financial District of Lower Manhattan in New York City. It runs between Broadway in the west to South Street and the East River in the east. The term "Wall Street" has become a metonym for the financial markets of the United States as a whole, the American financial services industry, New York–based financial interests, or the Financial District itself. The name of this street dates back to the seventeenth century, when it was the northern boundary of New Amsterdam. In 1652, the Dutch built a wall, which was later torn down by the British in 1699, to defend themselves from possible incursions. Although the wall is no longer there, the name has lived on. 

You'll see the New York Stock Exchange, the New York Mercantile Exchange, and the New York Board of Trade all located on this street. Before the September 11 attacks, it was possible to visit the Stock Exchange and witness the lively atmosphere from the top level of the building. Nowadays, it is no longer open to tourists.

Times Square in Manhattan is a major commercial intersection, tourist destination, entertainment center, and neighborhood in midtown Manhattan in New York City. Times Square is now considered the heart of New York. In time, it has become the symbol of this vibrant metropolis, with its huge, illuminated advertising hoardings: the star of many a movie. With its neon lights and billboards, Times Square is New York’s most famous landmark and is the liveliest area in the city, located at the intersection of Broadway and 7th Avenue. Times Square is one of the world's most visited tourist attractions, drawing an estimated 50 million visitors annually. Approximately 330,000 people pass through Times Square daily, many of them tourists, while over 460,000 pedestrians walk through Times Square on its busiest days.

In Times Square you will find bars, restaurants, theatres, museums and a great atmosphere. When night falls, the lights of Times Square illuminate the city, and locals and tourists alike are totally enchanted by the city's most famous square. A visit to Times Square is totally unmissable as a visitor to NY. The backdrop to countless films and TV series, the busiest square in Manhattan, forms the very centre of the Big Apple. The recognisable advertisments are probably the main attraciton, wherever you look a show made of colour and light!

The Statue of Liberty is a colossal neoclassical sculpture on Liberty Island in New York Harbor in New York City. The copper statue, a gift from the people of France to the people of the United States, was designed by French sculptor Frédéric Auguste Bartholdi and its metal framework was built by Gustave Eiffel. The statue was dedicated on October 28, 1886. It is also known as Miss Liberty and Lady Liberty. With a proud total height of 93 meters it is one of the highest statues in the world. Today, the statue is is America’s most famouse landmark and a symbol of freedom and independence. 

Day 3: Head to the capital of the United States. 

Day 4: Explore Washington's major attractions and celebrate the 110th anniversary of The National Cherry Blossom Festival 2022. 

On this day, firstly we’ll visit the cherry blossom treessee, going through the iconic landmarks of the U.S. government, such as the Capitol, home to the U.S. Congress, the White House, home to the president, and the Pentagon, the headquarters for the United States Department of Defense. Then continuing on to pay your respects at the Lincoln Memorial, and visit the Washington, Korean War, and Vietnam War Memorials. 

The National Cherry Blossom Festival (March 20 – April 17) is a citywide event that celebrates the 1912 gift of 3,000 cherry blossom trees to Washington, DC by the mayor of Tokyo. The 2022 Festival is the 110th anniversary. The most popular place to visit the cherry blossom trees is at the Tidal Basin, which provides great photo ops near the Jefferson Memorial, Franklin Delano Roosevelt Memorial and the Martin Luther King, Jr. Memorial. The majority of blossoms are located in this area and along the shoreline of East Potomac Park, which extends all the way to Hains Point.  Meanwhile, small clusters of trees can be found along the National Mall, just northwest of the Lincoln Memorial and around the Washington Monument. 

Capitol Hill, the largest residential district in the District of Columbia, was chosen as the site of America's first Congress House by Pierre L'Enfant in 1791. The U.S. Capitol was built atop Jenkins' Hill, now often referred to as "Capitol Hill," in 1793. Since then many additional buildings have been constructed around this site to serve Congress and the Supreme Court. In accordance with the "Residence Act" passed by Congress in 1790, President Washington in 1791 selected the area that is now the District of Columbia to serve as the nation's capital. As the country grew so did Capitol Hill, with the construction of buildings housing the Congress, Supreme Court, Library of Congress and Botanic Garden.

The world-famous White House in Washington, DC is the official residence of the president of the United States and the place where most of the work is done. The facade of this neoclassical mansion is a global icon.

The Pentagon, located just outside Washington, DC in Arlington, VA, is the headquarters for the United States Department of Defense. In 2001, the Pentagon was damaged during the September 11 attacks. Five al-Qaeda hijackers flew American Airlines Flight 77 into the western side of the building, killing themselves and 184 others: 59 on the airplane and 125 in the Pentagon. It was the first significant foreign attack on Washington's governmental facilities since the city was burned by the British during the War of 1812. Join a 60-minute tour covering about 1.5 miles inside the Pentagon, which is one of the largest office buildings in the world. Tours include the history of the four branches of the military and the opportunity to see the indoor memorial near the Sept. 11 crash site and the Sept. 11 Memorial chapel, as well as the Hall of Heroes (featuring the names of all the Medal of Honor recipients) and a number of other military displays.

Lincoln Memorial, this iconic American monument honors the 16th president of the United States. Abraham Lincoln was president during the American Civil War, and is most famous for the Emancipation Proclamation that freed all of the slaves in the US.
