City Trips

A hotel in a central location may be a little more expensive, but it saves valuable time and transportation costs. The RIU Manhattan Times Square in New York or the Grupotel Gran Via in Barcelona are perfect starting points for exploring the city.

Many cities offer special tourist passes that include free entry to attractions and unlimited use of public transport. These are particularly worthwhile if you want to visit lots of attractions.

Discover authentic neighborhoods off the beaten track. Visit local markets, small cafés and parks where the locals meet - you will experience the city from a completely different perspective.

Avoid the peak season for fewer crowds and cheaper prices. Spring and fall offer pleasant temperatures and fewer tourists in many cities - ideal for relaxed sightseeing without long queues.

A visit to the Empire State Building or the Top of the Rock offers breathtaking views of the Manhattan skyline. Then take a stroll through Central Park, visit the MoMA or experience the unique atmosphere of Times Square with its glowing billboards.

The Catalan capital is a paradise for architecture lovers. Visit the Sagrada Familia, Park Güell and Casa Batlló to admire the unique works of architect Antoni Gaudí. Afterwards, you can relax on the beach promenade or stroll through the Gothic Quarter.

Immerse yourself in the history of the British monarchy: visit Buckingham Palace, the Tower of London, enjoy the view from the London Eye or relax in one of the parks such as Hyde Park or St. James's Park. In the evening, the vibrant West End theater district beckons with world-class shows.
