Program details

Be surprised by a tour of the Bronx where you will witness the unexpected. The Bronx is a borough of diverse ethnic groups and neighbourhoods and of great cultural institutions. It is also an area of surprising natural beauty with one quarter of the borough is devoted to open space with rolling hills, parks and parkways.

On a peninsula the size of San Francisco, the Bronx is the only New York City borough attached to the U.S. mainland. Explore its twenty-block-long Grand Concourse, a broad boulevard lined with fine 1920's Art Deco apartment buildings. Along the way you will see America's largest urban zoo, the Bronx Zoo, south of the New York Botanical Garden which is a national historical landmark. Catch a glimpse of Edgar Allan Poe's cottage in Poe Park, where the poet penned ''The Bells'' and ''Annabel Lee.''

We stop in the Bronx's Little Italy for an authentic espresso and visit its colourful, indoor food market on lively Arthur Avenue. As part of the tour see Fordham University, the largest Jesuit University in America, and admire its Collegiate Gothic campus. We also take a drive by Yankee Stadium, the home of the legendary Bronx Bombers, the New York Yankees.

In the North Bronx you will discover the hilly secluded enclaves of Fieldston and Riverdale. Stop at Wave Hill, a former country estate where John F. Kennedy, Arturo Toscanini and Theodore Roosevelt once lived and stroll through its enchanting gardens while overlooking the Hudson River and the majestic cliffs of the New Jersey Palisades.
