Begin your day by taking a ferry to visit the Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island. These iconic landmarks are a symbol of freedom and immigration in the United States. You can take a ranger-led tour or explore both landmarks at your own pace. Witness breathtaking views from the statue's pedestal and get a glimpse into the lives of thousands of immigrants who passed through Ellis Island’s halls.
Start your day with a visit to the world-famous Central Park. You can choose to walk, jog, or rent a bike to explore this 843-acre park. You can also visit some of the park’s main attractions, such as the Bethesda Fountain, the Central Park Zoo, and the Conservatory Garden. Afterward, head to the Metropolitan Museum of Art (The Met) to discover some of the finest art collections in the world. The museum has over 2 million pieces of art, from ancient times to modern-day. The Met also has a rooftop garden, which offers a breathtaking view of the city.
If you have more time, you can visit other iconic New York landmarks, such as the Empire State Building, the One World Trade Center, or the Brooklyn Bridge. You can also explore other famous museums and attractions, such as the American Museum of Natural History, the Guggenheim Museum, or the Top of the Rock Observation Deck. If you have less time, you can skip either the Statue of Liberty/Ellis Island or the Central Park/The Met. You can also plan your itinerary based on your interests and preferences, such as shopping in SoHo, watching a Broadway show, or enjoying some delicious food in Chinatown.
