Description

New York City shines year-round, but during the holidays it takes on an extra layer of magic as Christmas lights glow and seasonal cheer fills the streets. This private Christmas walking tour focuses on Midtown Manhattan, where the city’s most iconic holiday sights come together in one festive neighborhood.

With a private guide leading the way, stroll through Midtown as it transforms for the season. Stops include the beloved Christmas markets at Bryant Park and Grand Central Terminal, where twinkling lights, seasonal stalls, and winter treats set the tone. A hot drink is included at one of the markets, offering a cozy break as the walk continues through the city’s most celebrated holiday scenes.

Fifth Avenue becomes a highlight of the tour, where world-famous department stores unveil elaborate window displays created exclusively for the Christmas season. These detailed works of art—paired with music, lights, and holiday décor—are on display for only a few short weeks each year. The route also passes through Times Square and continues to Rockefeller Center, home to its towering Christmas tree, ice-skating rink, and festive atmosphere.
