New York City – So much to see

My itinerary ā€“ for inspiration

So much things to see.

I had the chance to go to New York several times for work but as we know, business trips do not mean sightseeing.

I was lucky enough to take a few steps near my accommodation, but nothing more. Once I was able to convince my work team to go see the Christmas tree at Rockefeller Center. Going to New York in December and not making the detour to see the Rockefeller tree was impossible for me. Very happy to have been there, but difficult to travel in a group.

There is nothing better than visiting the city taking your time and without the hassle of work. Itā€™s a beautiful city to discover.

Here are the places I was able to see on business trips.
