New York and Philadelphia

Effervescent, grandiose, and striking, New York undoubtedly leaves no one indifferent. A hub of culture, fashion, gastronomy, and entertainment, the Big Apple continues to surprise and fully deserves its place among the most sought-after destinations on the U.S. East Coast. Whether it's your first or hundredth time stepping into this dizzying concrete jungle, the feeling of being part of something bigger than yourself hits you every time. The possibilities that New York offers are endless, and it only takes a few moments on its streets to quickly understand why it is rightfully called "the city that never sleeps."

Just 150 km from NYC, Philadelphia is where the Founding Fathers gathered to sign the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution, making the city the birthplace of American democracy. "Philly," which has risen to the status of an American icon thanks to its rich historical and artistic heritage, is now a must-see on any trip to the land of Uncle Sam. A true pioneer in the fight for equal rights, Philadelphia rightfully earns its nickname as the "City of Brotherly Love."
