Top places to visit

Times Square with large billboards and skyscrapers.

2. Central Park

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.

A cityscape with a large park and a river.

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

5. 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.
Learn more
A spacious train station with high ceilings, large arched windows, and an American flag.

6. 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.

7. One World Trade Center

Standing well above its skyscraping neighbors, One World Trade Center is a building that is easily identifiable from New Jersey and from most parts of the boroughs surrounding Manhattan. The reflective sheen of the structure’s glass is easy to mistake for metal, and its isosceles triangular façades give it the appearance of having a twisting motion toward the sky.
Learn more
A cityscape with a prominent skyscraper, dense urban buildings, and a waterfront.

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.
