We took a helicopter tour over Manhattan! Yes, yes! Flying over the Hudson River and seeing the city from the sky is simply an unforgettable experience. From the air, we had an incredible view of New York's major landmarks, such as the Statue of Liberty, One World Trade Center, and even Central Park.

This helicopter tour was one of the most memorable of our stay: it offered us a new perspective on the grandeur of the city and its rather impressive and unique architectural organization. We struggled to recover from all these emotions.
