Latest Offers

New York is best planned with distance in mind, as walking, subway, buses, taxis, private transfers and car hire all have their place depending on whether you’re staying in Manhattan or exploring the wider boroughs and surrounding regions.

Visa

Irish travellers usually need either an approved ESTA or a visa to enter or transit through the USA. Many holidaymakers travelling on eligible passports can use the Visa Waiver Program for tourism or business stays of up to 90 days, provided they meet the requirements and apply for ESTA before travel.


Some travellers may need a visa instead, depending on their passport, travel history, purpose of visit or personal circumstances, so entry requirements should always be checked carefully before booking and again before departure.

Climate

New York City has four distinct seasons, making it a year-round destination.


Spring (Mar–May) is mild with blooming parks and pleasant sightseeing weather.


Summer (Jun–Aug) is hot and lively, with festivals and outdoor activities.


Autumn (Sep–Nov) is cool and colourful, with crisp air and fall foliage.

Transport Options Around the USA

New York is best planned with distance in mind, as walking, subway, buses, taxis, private transfers and car hire all play a role depending on whether you’re staying in Manhattan or exploring the wider boroughs and surrounding regions.

Air Travel

Domestic flights are often the most practical way to cover long distances, with major airports including New York JFK and Newark, Atlanta, Los Angeles, Chicago O’Hare, Miami, Orlando, Las Vegas, San Francisco, Dallas Fort Worth, Denver, Seattle and Honolulu, giving travellers strong access to city breaks, beach holidays, theme parks, national parks, cruise ports and multi-centre itineraries.

Train

Train travel can work well in selected parts of the USA, especially along the East Coast between cities such as Boston, New York, Philadelphia and Washington, DC, while longer Amtrak routes offer a slower, more scenic way to experience the country for travellers who see the journey as part of the holiday rather than just a way to get from one place to another.

Bus

Buses and coaches can be useful for budget-friendly journeys, organised touring, city-to-city travel and regional links, particularly where rail options are limited, although journey times can be long and should be planned carefully when building a wider USA itinerary.

Car Rental

Car hire is one of the great pleasures of travelling in America, especially for Florida holidays, California coast drives, national park routes, New England touring, the Deep South, the Pacific Northwest and classic road trips where freedom, flexibility and scenic detours are part of the experience.

Travel Tips for First-Time Visitors

  • Don’t try to see too much in one trip: New York is best enjoyed at a steady pace rather than rushing between too many attractions.
  • Check hotel taxes and additional fees: Accommodation in New York often includes extra charges beyond the base rate.
  • Plan airport transfers in advance: Travel times into Manhattan can vary, so pre-booking makes arrival smoother.
  • Remember tipping is part of the culture: Restaurants, taxis, hotels and services generally expect gratuities.
  • Keep your first day gentle: Jet lag and travel fatigue can hit, so avoid overloading your arrival day.

Travel Tips for Experience Explorers

  • Build the trip around regions, not just cities: New York works best as part of a wider East Coast or USA regional itinerary rather than in isolation.
  • Stay outside the obvious areas when it makes sense: In New York, choosing the right neighbourhood can completely change the feel of your stay.
  • Use internal flights carefully: They can save time, but airport transfers, security and delays still need to be factored in.
  • Book accommodation early for popular areas: Hotels in New York, especially well-located ones, can sell out quickly during peak times.
  • Leave room for spontaneity: Some of the best New York moments come from exploring side streets, cafés, parks and unplanned discoveries.
