Description

Experience the magic of New York City during the holiday season on a guided tour of the city's most iconic Christmas landmarks and light displays. See the Rockefeller Center Christmas Tree, stroll down Fifth Avenue, and visit the Bryant Park Winter Village. Begin your tour at Rockefeller Center, home to one of the world’s most famous Christmas trees. Standing over 75 feet tall and adorned with thousands of sparkling lights, the tree is a symbol of the holiday season in New York. Marvel at this spectacular sight, with the rink beneath it offering the chance for those who wish to glide across the ice. After soaking in the magic of Rockefeller Center, take a stroll down Fifth Avenue, where the holiday lights and window displays of department stores like Saks Fifth Avenue, Bergdorf Goodman, and Macy’s turn the street into a sparkling winter wonderland. Saks Fifth Avenue is particularly famous for its elaborate light shows, which synchronize to music and transform the building’s façade into a dazzling spectacle. The windows at these stores feature intricate holiday scenes, and the lights on the trees lining the avenue create a festive atmosphere perfect for photos. No Christmas tour in Midtown would be complete without a visit to Radio City Music Hall. Here, experience the Radio City Christmas Spectacular, an annual show featuring the world-famous Rockettes. The high-energy performance includes breathtaking choreography, dazzling costumes, and classic holiday music that makes it a beloved holiday tradition for families and tourists alike. Visitors can either catch a show or simply enjoy the festive lights around the theater before continuing their tour. The tour concludes with a visit to Bryant Park, which transforms into a picturesque Winter Village during the holidays. The park is illuminated with thousands of twinkling lights, and its ice skating rink provides a cozy, holiday atmosphere. Browse the Holiday Shops, which feature unique gifts, artisan crafts, and seasonal treats. The towering Christmas tree in the center adds to the festive ambiance, making it a perfect spot to end the tour.
