Start your day enjoying the amazing sights of Central Park, which offers a peaceful oasis in the midst of the bustling city. The park offers various recreational activities such as boating, bicycling, and horseback riding. Visit the Central Park Zoo, or take a leisurely stroll on the walking trails.
Get an incredible view of the city from the top of the Empire State Building. One of the most iconic buildings in Manhattan, you will be able to see miles of the city from the observation deck. Choose to visit at night or during the day to experience different views of the skyline and city.
Consider taking the subway for cheaper transportation costs. A single ride costs $2.75 or consider getting a MetroCard depending on your travel plans. It’s highly recommended to explore Manhattan by foot or bicycle to avoid the traffic.
If you have more time, we recommend visiting the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the One World Trade Center Observatory, and the Statue of Liberty. If you have less time, consider just walking around Times Square or visiting the High Line for a unique elevated park experience.
