New York City & Capital Region

New York City, one of the world's great metropolises, needs little introduction. If you want the best in shopping, nightlife, culture and entertainment, this is the place to come.

The Capital Region also offers two other world-class cities, both different in character: historic Philadelphia, home to the Liberty Bell and where the American Declaration of Independence was written, and the nation's capital, Washington D.C.

Away from the urban attractions, Upstate New York features the Adirondack Mountains, Niagara Falls, and the tranquil vineyards of the Finger Lakes. Its southern neighbour, Pennsylvania, is where you can meet the Amish people, who maintain the values and lifestyle of bygone times, while the Civil War battle site of Gettysburg makes a fascinating visit.

Virginia and Maryland form one of the oldest parts of the modern nation. Hemmed in by the Blue Ridge Mountains and Shenandoah National Park to the west, and the maritime communities along Chesapeake Bay to the east, these two states are crammed full of historic colonial towns, magnificent country estates, and reminders of Revolutionary and Civil War conflicts.

Best time to visit New York City & Capital Region

New York and the Capital Region has a diverse climate, ranging from cold and often snowy winters, especially from December until March, followed by hot and humid summers.

Rainfall can occur at any time of the year but perhaps the most pleasant times to visit are during April and May or September and October.
