A New York City Tour in German

the New York of the rich and beautiful

On this 2-hour New York tour in German - it can of course be extended on request - we start in Grand Central Terminal. This train station is considered the most beautiful in the world. From there we go via the Public Library to Bryant Park and then on to Times Square. All of these places tell stories of New York's high society at the turn of the century. It is also referred to as the Gilded Age, as Mark Twain called it. The Vanderbilts, to name one of the most powerful of the nouveau riche families, tried by all means to be accepted into the traditional elite. And since we are in New York, let us just say that money won.

From Times Square to Central Park

On this New York city tour, you will learn many other historical anecdotes and details, including how Times Square went from being a horse market to the most famous square in New York, why the most expensive department stores are on 5th Avenue, how the Rockefeller Center made its name and what Billionaire's Row is all about. Of course, we will also take a quick look at St. Patrick's Cathedral.

The tour ends in the south of Central Park, with a brief insight into its history.
