New York
in 48 hours
Witness a movie-style marriage proposal in Times Square or visit the exact spot where Titanic survivors disembarked. Anything can happen in New York, even on a 48-hour express visit. Want to come and discover it?
Hello, I’m Patricia, Iberia cabin crew for 25 years. Today we’re flying to one of my favourite destinations, a city that never fades and is constantly changing. It’s New York City — will you join me?
We’ve just arrived in Manhattan. We’re very close to our hotel and Times Square, so we’ll make a quick stop and head to this iconic square you have to visit when you come to New York.
And here we are in Times Square!
It’s full of advertising spaces and neon lights, so even at night it hardly feels dark at all.
And did you know that you can also display or project your own image? The most popular option is marriage proposals.
Let’s make the most of the city that never sleeps.
It’s 11 pm in New York, 5 am in Spain, so we’re going to get some rest to see many more things with you tomorrow.
Good morning! Coffee in hand, we start our day and today we’ll be getting around by underground.
We’ve come to Brooklyn to show you one of the “secret” streets — or maybe not so secret — where people come to take one of the most iconic photos, with views of the Manhattan Bridge and Brooklyn Bridge.
Back in Manhattan, we’ve come to Ground Zero to see buildings like the one behind me, a transport hub that connects financial district buildings.
Ground Zero is one of the most moving visits you can make when you come to New York City. One of the traditions is to place white flowers in memory of the victims of the 9/11 attacks.
Now we’re going in search of a very special tree: the Survivor Tree, the only tree that survived the 9/11 attacks. A symbol of resilience and hope in the United States. People come here and leave offerings such as ribbons or flowers in remembrance of the victims.
If it’s been a while since your last visit to New York, you may not know — or have visited — Little Island, a floating park on concrete piles built on piers 54 and 56 on the Hudson River. One interesting fact is that this is where Titanic survivors disembarked.
We’ll make a short stop to enjoy the Spanish food market Little Spain. Will you join me?
Taxi!
And that’s the end of our visit to New York. We’re heading back to Madrid.
