New York Travel Guide: Things To Do And Places To Visit
Here are the things to do and places to visit in New York:
Times Square
The first thing tourists usually do after arriving in New York is visit Times Square. You may have seen this place in numerous Hollywood movies. It is a prime spot in New York where thousands of people gather every day to experience the “city that never sleeps”. Yes, Times Square is always awake, always bursting with energy.
Visit the place at night and you’ll see the flashy billboards and roadside artists performing their art (dancing, singing, doing magic etc). It is a must-visit if you’re a first-timer. At midnight, the billboards turn the place into a digital art exhibition by displaying fine modern art. And if you’re fortunate enough to visit NY during New Year’s Eve, then you can enjoy the famous Ball Drop event at exactly 12 am.
Central Park
In the middle of the cosmopolitan city, there is Central Park– a completely manmade park stretching across 843 acres. It is one of the largest parks in the world with artificial lakes, waterfalls, and meadows surrounded by tree-covered areas. You can easily spare a whole day to spend here. It is an ideal place to rest your mind and unwind.
If you have kids, bring them as well as there are many activities for kids too. Set up a picnic basket and bring a bedsheet, and you are ready to go. This iconic park is frequented by many celebrities, so if you’re lucky you can even get to meet one!
Statue of Liberty
The Statue of Liberty, situated on Liberty Island, is probably the most famous sculpture in the whole world. It was a gift from the people of France to the USA. The copper statue is of the Roman Goddess of Liberty wearing a robe and holding a tablet in one hand and a torch in the other.
To get to the Statue of Liberty you'll need to get on a ferry. You can buy a ticket from StatueCityCruises.com and get access to round-trip ferry services, museums, and audio guides.
The view from the crown of the statue is simply fabulous. It goes without saying that the Statue of Liberty is a must-visit on your trip to New York.
9/11 Memorial
Next on our New York travel guide is the 9/11 Memorial. Remember the US World Trade Centre terrorist attack that happened on 9th September 2001 and killed 2,977 people? 9/11 Memorial is designed to commemorate the memories of the thousands of innocent souls who died a tragic death that day.
If you decide to pay your respects and visit the memorial, then you’ll find two massive pools sitting right where the Twin Towers used to be. Bronze panels surround the pools and the names of the martyrs are inscribed on them. The place will remind you of the supreme sacrifices made by the police, detectives, first responders, medical assistants, and fire units.
Brooklyn Bridge
Brooklyn Bridge is a unique bridge that connects Manhattan and Brooklyn. It is situated on the East River and is one of the most visited bridges in New York City. Thousands of locals and tourists cross this bridge every day. There is a 2 km long walkway on the bridge where you can walk and there’s a bicycle lane beside the walkway for the bikers.
The view from the bridge is very picturesque and you can take as many photos as you want. The best time to visit the bridge is during sunrise when there’s the best golden light and fewer people on the bridge. It takes 30 minutes to walk across the bridge.
