Full description Explore the most iconic highlights of Midtown Manhattan on a half-day walking tour through New York City, also known as The Big Apple or The City That Never Sleeps. This private tour will take you through some of the city’s most famous landmarks, from the bright lights of Times Square to the majestic Empire State Building, Grand Central Station, and the bustling 5th Avenue.

Your journey begins on the iconic Lexington Avenue, known as "Lex" to locals, where you’ll make your way toward the magnificent Chrysler Building. Often regarded as New York’s finest example of art deco architecture, this building, with its spire reaching 319 meters, briefly held the title of the tallest building in the world from 1930-1931.

Next, you’ll stroll through the romantic Grand Central Terminal, one of New York’s main transportation hubs and a site featured in countless movies. Upon emerging, you'll stand in front of the Empire State Building, one of the world’s most famous skyscrapers and still a beloved attraction today. From its starring role in *King Kong* to its iconic design, this building holds a special place in the heart of New York City. It remains the 4th tallest building in NYC and the 43rd tallest in the world!

Just a short distance away, you'll encounter the giant stone lions that stand guard at the New York Public Library, followed by a peaceful moment in the greenery of Bryant Park, a tranquil oasis in the middle of Midtown’s hustle and bustle. Soon after, you'll arrive at Times Square, with its flashing billboards and neon lights that have made it instantly recognizable worldwide.

Here, you’ll soak up the vibrant atmosphere of Broadway, learning about the evolution of theater and how this district became the global epicenter for musical productions. Your guide will share fascinating stories of legendary shows and actors that have graced these stages.

As the tour continues, you'll visit St. Patrick’s Cathedral, a stunning neo-Gothic structure that has been a beacon of Catholicism in New York since 1878. Walking along 5th Avenue, you’ll experience the luxury and grandeur of one of the world’s most famous shopping streets, home to historic buildings and upscale department stores like Saks.

Your journey continues with a visit to the iconic Radio City Music Hall, a beautifully restored art deco masterpiece that remains one of the country’s leading venues for concerts and major events. Finally, your tour concludes at Rockefeller Center, where you'll admire one of New York’s last great art deco skyscrapers. In Rockefeller Plaza, you'll be surrounded by legendary landmarks, including the famous skating rink (in winter) and the Atlas statue.

At the end of the tour, your guide will happily offer suggestions for further exploration of Midtown or direct you to the nearest subway station to continue your adventure in other parts of Manhattan.
