In the north, Catalonia’s thriving cosmopolitan capital of Barcelona is renowned for its trendy bars, upscale eateries, and bohemian buildings.
Meanwhile, not far away, Europe’s oldest surviving native tongue — Basque — evolved unto itself millennia ago, and beguiles with an unorthodox beauty.
Spain’s sun-kissed southern coast enjoys glorious weather throughout the year. Wander the ornate Andalucian capital Seville and soak in the magical atmosphere. Seductive sounds of flamenco seep out from candle-lit tavernas. Inside, emotive performers are fiercely engaged in a complex and sultry dance.
New York City is covered by a shell that is often tough shell for some to crack. At least fully.
Although Times Square dazzles with pizzaz and extravagance, the brazen authenticity of New Yorkers surpasses all conventional charms.
Using the Interactive Map for Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, or the Bronx, it has never been easier to cross paths with sharp-witted locals at family-run delis and bodegas or sipping beers at beloved neighbourhood hangouts.
Constantly abuzz, café culture is alive and well — this is the city that never sleeps after all. Workers shake off morning fog with a ‘cup of joe’, and keep it moving. Stylish spaces with minimalist decor create a calming ambiance, attractive to the city’s huge artistic population.
Everyone knows at least a couple of the Big Apple’s most iconic sights, but what really makes the city tick is an intricate cultural fabric. Diverse and colourful threads interweave across the city, manifested in art, architecture, street performers and storefronts.
In the distance, Lady Liberty waves her torch in front of the towering cityscape; north to a colossal collection of art-deco masterpieces on Manhattan and across the East River to the brownstones of Brooklyn.
Chic Chelsea flaunts art galleries galore. A slick urbanite vibe prevails over East Village and neighbouring Greenwich. Brooklyn is in a heyday, drawing on its elite musical roots.
In the heart of Manhattan, ritzy rooftop cocktail bars boast leather-clad lux decor that blends in with the shimmer of the city’s astounding skyline all around. Drenched in neon, exclusive nightclubs in lavish digs attract those who dress to impress.
Elsewhere, the rest of NY moves to a much faster tempo. In Brooklyn, ripples of the borough’s incredible music scene linger on. Bed-Stuy was the heartland of hip-hop in the 90s and retains some of the best venues in the city.
Artsy Williamsburg is chock-full of indie clubs and industrial craft beer bars. Along the haywire borders between Brooklyn and Queens, dive bars are rapidly appearing in residential basements, relying purely on vibe and no flash.
Experience the real New York through food. Savour tantalising flavours from far-and-wide, traversing continents in cuisine across mere blocks, this city has birthed a colloquial cuisine that is impossible to pin down.
Vast in its offerings, the truest example of a Melting Pot is constantly cooking. Salivate over homestyle Caribbean cooking, budget burger joints, swanky SoHo steakhouses, or a humble slice of New York pizza, a ubiquitous specialty that has come to define the city in itself.
New favourites are emerging, yet mainstays include Italian, Chinese, and homegrown delicatessen dishes such as pastrami sandwiches.
