Top places to visit

1. Times Square

This live and kicking neon jungle is arguably the life and soul of New York City, despite its label as a touristy clique by local New Yorkers. As one of the most visited spots in the world, Times Square beats, shouts and screams behind its neon exterior.

Times Square with large billboards and skyscrapers.

2. Central Park

Central Park is a movie star in its own right, having featured in movies such as “When Harry Met Sally”, “Annie Hall”, “Home Alone 2” and “Sex and the City: The Movie”. Together with hosting some of the most famous musical artists such as Simon & Garfunkel, Central Park is an iconic space of natural beauty known worldwide and adored by native New Yorkers.

3. Madison Square Garden

Madison Square Garden is huge, both culturally and, with a 20,000 seat capacity, physically. This hulking building, perched on top of Penn Station in busiest Midtown, has an epic reputation to go with it. The program ranges from sell-out gigs by superstars like Beyoncé and Kanye West to much smaller acts in the more intimate theatre space. Oh, and the Knicks and the Rangers also play here. Entertainment is everything at New York’s favourite big arena.

A cityscape with prominent skyscrapers, including the Empire State Building, and a large circular building with a dome.

4. Grand Central Terminal

Approximately 750,000 commuters come and go through this station every day; but don’t let that get in the way, as this architectural masterpiece is definitely worth a visit. Its shops, dining areas and bistros make this venue one to remember. Sit back in one of the cafes and watch the world roll by your window in this palace of gothic majesty.

A historic building with ornate architecture and a modern glass skyscraper in the background.

5. Rockefeller Center

Reminiscent of a swinging 1930s New York, the Rockefeller Center is an icon of outstanding architectural achievement, combining past and present in seamless elegance. It is situated in Midtown Manhattan and today is the centrepiece of the city’s annual holiday celebrations.

A tall, beige skyscraper with many windows, surrounded by palm trees and other buildings.

6. Yankee Stadium

Yankee Stadium has been one of New York City’s iconic destinations for almost a hundred years, ever since the original was built in 1923. The team’s new home, constructed at a cost of $2.3 billion, is the most expensive stadium ever built, but manages to include both deluxe amenities and many references to the Yankees’ long history. Enjoy a typical New York experience by hopping on the subway northward, ready to spend an afternoon watching America’s pastime.

7. Broadway

Swallow your pride, grab your camera and head down to Broadway - Times Square. This glitzy, neon-soaked strip – much despised by commuting locals – might not be everyone’s cup of tea, but there is a magic to its mania and a rich heritage to boot. If the M&M store, MTV and big-brand billboards don’t do it for you, keep your eye out for public art installations. Otherwise you can try a walking tour of the area’s history and architecture, or slip into one of its many Broadway theatres.
Learn more
A busy urban street with yellow taxis, pedestrians, and tall buildings with illuminated signs.

8. Statue of Liberty

New York’s Statue of Liberty is one of the few structures in the world that evokes a profound sense of emotion among its population. This pinnacle of freedom and democracy stands tall on New York harbour as a symbol of courage and hope for millions across the world.
