Travel - New York

The study tour in the spring goes to the legendary New York - the city that never sleeps. New York is a city of culture with experiences and opportunities around every corner and which both sets and captures various trends in the world. You get to experience the best the city has to offer in terms of culture, such as performances in various genres and musicals on Broadway. We are inspired by people who have a personal story to tell, and who in one way or another work to convey this in various social media.

New York has a lot of everything - from famous museums, well-known parks and buildings, good shopping opportunities, an enormous art and cultural life and food from all corners of the world. Here there is something for every taste. We will get to know the city and here you will experience the places you have seen in well-known and beloved films and series. A bike ride in Central park, experience the city skyline from a boat deck or experience the view of the entire city from one of Manhattan's tallest skyscrapers... The possibilities are endless! We know the city well and can therefore take you to things that are not so easy to do on your own.
