The city that never sleeps is jam-packed with summer fun.

This summer, though, they're offering some terrific tours and vacation plans for travelers of all types. From historic and iconic landmarks like the Statue of Liberty and Empire State Building to Broadway shows, sporting events and more, New York City is filled with non-stop fun.

Here are five trips from NYC Vacation Packages to consider this summer.

If you or your client has never been to the Big Apple, here's the perfect itinerary. A minimum of four days and three nights, the First Time NYC Visitors vacation gives travelers a taste of an authentic New York getaway.

It's the full New York experience!

The trip includes accommodations in a midtown Manhattan hotel, reserved main level seats at Yankees Stadium, roundtrip transportation to and from the game with a Yankee insider tour guide and admission to a pre-game party that has unlimited beer, wine, hot dogs and soft pretzels.
