New York Attractions
New York City’s five boroughs are home to some of the world’s most recognizable, cherished landmarks and attractions — and the island of Manhattan packs more famous icons into one compact area than any other
place on Earth. Manhattan offers world-class museums and shopping, fine dining, and unforgettable views.
There’s no better place to experience the excitement of New York than Times Square. Surrounded by neon lights, giant billboards, Broadway theaters, electronic ticker tape, and television studios, Times Square is truly the heart of Midtown and the site of the annual New Year’s Eve Ball Drop. Get tickets to one of many Broadway and off-Broadway shows in New York’s Theater District.
One of New York City’s most breathtaking and celebrated attractions is Central Park. The 843-acre park is an urban oasis of trees, gardens, rolling meadows, arches, sculptures, statues, and vistas.
Looking for views of the NYC Skyline? There are many tall buildings in New York that offer that world famous view, including The Empire State Building, Top of the Rock, and One World Observatory.
Stop by the Rockefeller Center and tour Radio City Music Hall, NBC Studios, and the Channel Gardens or shop in one of over 100 unique stores from the latest fashions to gifts and souvenirs — as well as a broad range of well-known eateries and famous restaurants serving specialties and delicacies to satisfy even the most discerning palate.
No trip to New York is complete without experiencing some of its world-class cultural institutions, and Museum Mile is a good place to start. Museums along the “Mile” include the Metropolitan Museum of Art, Neue Galerie, the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, the National Academy Museum & School, Cooper Hewitt, National Design Museum, the Jewish Museum, the Museum of the City of New York, and El Museo del Barrio.
