To discover
As any New Yorker will tell you, it is impossible to see all of the best places in this big, complex city, in just one visit. So we list you 5 must-see places you can’t miss :
- Times Square, a mythical place with its giant screens, its neon lights, its crowd, its police officers ready to pose for a photo and its electric atmosphere,
- the Statue of Liberty, which you can admire from Battery Park or from the Staten Island ferry,
- Central Park, an oasis of 341 hectares and the largest urban garden in the world,
- the Brooklyn Bridge, from where you will have the skyline in front of you and the Financial District’s towers will approach as you go,
- the World Trade Center, where you can sadly see the change since the attacks of September 11, 2001, and where you can stand next to the 541 meters of the new One World Trade Center, the tallest tower in North America.
Good to know
