The Big Apple ๐ŸŽ๐Ÿ™
Everyone knows it, but did you know these 5 secret things about New York City

1. You can visit a nuclear fallout shelter in the Brooklyn Bridge - A hidden Cold War-era fallout shelter was discovered in the bridgeโ€™s foundations in 2006, still stocked with survival supplies from the 1950s.

2. The famous "Wall Street Bull" was dropped off illegally - In 1989, sculptor Arturo Di Modica illegally placed the Charging Bull in front of the NYSE overnightโ€”it was later made a permanent fixture.

3. There's a hidden "Hotel Room" in Times Square - The Knickerbocker Hotel has a luxurious rooftop bar, and inside, youโ€™ll find a secret suite once used by celebrities like F. Scott Fitzgerald.

4. There's a secret garden on the roof of Rockefeller Center - The Rockefeller Center rooftop gardens were originally designed for exclusive parties and are now rarely open to the public.

5. There's a hidden speakeasy in Grand Central - Inside Grand Central Terminal, there's a secret bar called The Campbell, a former private office turned speakeasy that retains its 1920s charm.

๐ŸŒ Touring is the BEST Way to Travel ๐ŸšŒ

Imagine no google maps, no planning stress, and definitely no โ€œare we there yet?โ€ moments. Just comfy seats, great company, stunning views, and someone else doing all the planning for you. ๐Ÿ™Œ

๐ŸšŒ Why Globus Touring is a Game Changer:

- First-class access! โ€“ Youโ€™ll get to skip the lines at iconic landmarks and dive straight into the action. No waiting, just WOW moments. ๐Ÿ˜

- More time, more adventure! โ€“ Donโ€™t just see the Eiffel Tower, stroll through the park beneath it. Donโ€™t just visit Venice, take time to get lost in its charm. โณ

- Everythingโ€™s sorted โ€“ Accommodation, transportation, sightseeing, and a few meals? Done. Worry about deciding which gelato flavour to try first in Rome. ๐Ÿฆ

- Local gems, minus the FOMO โ€“ Youโ€™ll go to places only the locals know about. (Secret wine tasting in Tuscany? Yes, please! ๐Ÿท)

- New friends, new memories โ€“ Whether you're a solo traveller, a couple or with a group, you'll meet fellow adventurers, and who knows? You might just make lifelong friends along the way.

The best part? You can book โ€˜em today with House of Travel! Hit the link to learn more and to check out all the tours โ€” weโ€™re talking Italy, Spain, Portugal, and Ireland, just to name a few ๐Ÿ‘‰ https://bit.ly/3XWz8VZ

Dreaming of Celebrating a Milestone Birthday on the Shores of Nice?

Brydie from House of Travel Westport just got back from a very special holiday through Europe to celebrate her 30th birthday! ๐ŸŽ‰โœˆ๏ธ๐ŸŒ From London to Rome, Positano to Paris, and even a dreamy sunset on the beach in Nice, Brydieโ€™s journey was pure magic! ๐Ÿ–๏ธ

๐Ÿš€ Brydie's Top Tip: Travel to Europe in spring! ๐ŸŒธ๐Ÿƒ "In September, European kids are back to school, the weather is mild and places are quieter," she says. Plus, it's the perfect time to snag great deals on flights and accommodation!

๐Ÿน Brydie's trip highlight: Soaking in the vibrant atmosphere of Nice and enjoying a dreamy sunset on the beach! ๐ŸŒ…๐Ÿน "Watching the sunset with a wine on the beach in the south of France was an unforgettable โ€˜pinch meโ€™ moment,". And make sure to go to the street markets in Nice!

๐Ÿ’ŽHIDDEN GEMS
- Donโ€™t miss the local ceramic shops in Positano
- Visit Waka Bar in Nice โ€“ NZ owned!
- Never go past a Hop on Hop Off Bus if it is an option. Itโ€™s a great way to see a city and listen to the history and you learn so much.
