MANHATTAN

Manhattan island was sold to the early Dutch settlers for $24 in bartered goods by the Manhattan Indians - probably one of the most famous real estate transactions in history. If you start your tour at Battery Park at the tip of lower Manhattan, you can still see the restored Dutch fort that once guarded New York Harbor. From here, let your curiosity and your interest be your guide. For no matter which direction you head - Eastside, Westside, Midtown, Uptown and Downtown - you'll be amazed at how many attractions and world-famous sights an island just 13 miles long and , at the most, 3 miles wide can hold. Happy Sightseeing.
