A trip to New York has to be prepared, from the moment we want to go to New York until the day of departure we ask ourselves a whole series of questions:
- What is the best time to go to New York?
- Do they have the same holds as us?
- Do we need a biometric passport?
- etc.
We remembered the different questions we asked ourselves when organizing our first trip to New York and we created this section “Staying in New York” with different sub-sections that try to answer your questions. We have added the following sub-sections: “Useful”, “Airport transfers”, and “Administrative formalities” to simplify your navigation and help you find the answers to your questions.
However, if we have forgotten to answer any of your questions, please do not hesitate to contact us by using the “contact” link at the bottom of each page.
