New York City, New York
New York City has become a dream destination for many during the holidays. Anyone strolling through the festively lit streets of the Big Apple and seeing the toys and Christmas decorations through the store windows will quickly understand why New York is one of the best places to visit during Christmas.
During winter, a “can’t-miss” of any NYC itinerary is the ice rink in front of Rockefeller Center. This place is one of the city’s most popular winter attractions. Even if you don’t ice skate, it’s a great place to watch others with a warm drink in hand. But the real highlight at Rockefeller Center is the giant Christmas tree located here each year.
And don’t miss the city’s many Christmas markets either. The New York markets can keep up perfectly with any of Central Europe’s typical ones with their festively decorated stalls. Also, don’t miss the Saks Fifth Avenue light show, where every afternoon after dark until late in the evening, a spectacular light show occurs every 10 minutes.
