This riveting eight-day itinerary highlights the extraordinary cultural and historical legacy of two of America’s most iconic cities – New York and Washington, D.C. You’ll fly into New York, and stay at the stylish hotel, The Carlyle, for the next four nights, located on Manhattan’s affluent Upper East Side.

New York is best explored by district, so spend the next few days moving through its diverse neighbourhoods, from the hip, bohemian streets of Soho on the West Side, to the prosperous financial district in Lower Manhattan, and the historic brown-stone buildings of Brooklyn Heights.

Climb to the top of the Edge in Hudson Yard, or Summit ONE in Midtown for panoramic views over this dynamic concrete jungle, before taking an evening stroll through lush Central Park, back to your Madison Avenue hotel.

Catch the three-hour Acela train to Washington D.C., where you’ll stay for the remainder of your trip in sophisticated boutique hotel, the Rosewood Washington D.C, in federal-style Georgetown.

Learn all about the U.S.’s turbulent history at the Museum of American History or the Holocaust Museum, both located just off the National Mall. Take in awe-inspiring views of the majestic White House building, before attending a world-class jazz concert at the John F. Kennedy Centre for the Performing Arts.

Jet off for the cultural trip of a lifetime in land of the free and the home of the brave.
