Manhattan is closer than your last Roman traffic jam felt.
No layovers, no wasted hours in Reykjavik or Lisbon. Just one direct flight and you're stepping onto a Manhattan sidewalk with a pastrami sandwich in your hand.
✈️ The Deal
- From: Rome
- To: New York
- Airline: Norse Atlantic
- Stops: Non-stop
- Price: €350–380 return
- When: September - October 2026
Example dates:
17/09/2026 - 29/09/2026
21/09/2026 - 29/09/2026
01/10/2026 - 20/10/2026
💰 How Far Does Your Money Go?
A pizza slice at Joe's Pizza costs €4 to €5, roughly what you'd pay for a cornetto and cappuccino at a Roman bar. A craft beer runs €8 to €10, double a birra alla spina near Campo de' Fiori. But a weekly MetroCard for unlimited subway rides is €30, cheaper than a month of Roma bus tickets, and the Staten Island Ferry past the Statue of Liberty is free.
☀️ The Weather
New York in September holds at 22 to 26°C, warm enough for shirt sleeves through Central Park. By October it settles into crisp 15 to 19°C days, perfect for walking the High Line without sweating through your jacket. Bring layers for the evenings.
🏨 Where to Stay
Manhattan or Brooklyn, both work for a first trip.
Boro Hotel — 8.4/10 · From €175/night Long Island City, one subway stop from Manhattan, with bigger rooms than most places twice the price.
New Yorker by Lotte Hotels — 8.0/10 · From €212/night Art deco landmark by Penn Station, walking distance to Times Square and the Empire State Building.
1 Hotel Brooklyn Bridge — 9.0/10 · From €342/night DUMBO waterfront views of the skyline, for the trip where you don't check the bill.
🎯 What to Do
Big city energy from sunrise to last call.
Central Park and the High Line — Rent a bike, cut through the park, then walk the elevated rail line above Chelsea for skyline views without the crowds.
MoMA and the 9/11 Memorial — Two very different mornings, one unmissable afternoon of Manhattan history and art.
West Village food crawl — Small plates, natural wine bars and the best bagel you'll ever regret not finishing.
Catch a Broadway show — Something you can only really do here. Book same-day rush tickets to save.
🗺️ Where to Go From Here
New York is also your gateway to the whole northeast coast.
Boston — Amtrak Acela gets you there in 3.5 hours, red brick streets and Revolutionary history.
Washington DC — Same 3.5-hour Acela ride, free museums on the National Mall all day.
Philadelphia — Just 90 minutes by train, cheesesteaks and the Liberty Bell.
Niagara Falls — A long but unforgettable day trip by train from Penn Station, roaring water on the US-Canada border.
Norse Atlantic doesn't run non-stop Rome to New York often at this price. Book before the seats disappear.
