It's best to visit the Big Apple from April to May or September to October, when balmy temperatures are just right for pounding the pavement downtown. Summers can hit a sweltering 30°C and if you're there in December, remember those woolly gloves – you may need them for an impromptu snowball fight.
The USA has a visa waiver programme, which lets British tourists visit for up to 90 days without a visa. You must get an authorisation from ESTA – the Electronic System for Travel Authorisation - before you travel, otherwise you’ll be refused entry. You can register through the ESTA website – applications currently cost $14. The US also has specific passport requirements, so it’s a good idea to check that your passport will be accepted.

You should take out comprehensive travel and medical insurance to cover you while you’re away. For the latest health and safety information, visit www.gov.uk/foreign-travel-advice/usa/health
