Start your Manhattan trip by visiting one of the most iconic parks of the city, Central Park. You can rent a bike or walk around as you take in the beautiful scenery. Feel free to have a picnic or visit one of the many attractions located inside the park.
Visit the 9/11 Memorial and pay tribute to the victims of the tragic events of September 11, 2001. After that, go to One World Trade Center to see the breathtaking skyline of Manhattan from the top.
End your trip with a visit to the Brooklyn Bridge and the charming Brooklyn neighborhood of DUMBO (Down Under the Manhattan Bridge Overpass). Walk across the bridge while taking in the stunning views of the city skyline. After that, explore the shops, cafes, and galleries in the neighborhood.
Getting around Manhattan can be done conveniently by using the subway system. A 7-day unlimited Metrocard costs $32 and can be used for unlimited rides on subways and buses. Taxis and ride-sharing services are also an option but can be more expensive.
If you have more time, consider visiting other popular attractions such as the Empire State Building, the Metropolitan Museum of Art, or the Statue of Liberty. If you have less time, adjust the itinerary by combining activities or choosing only one or two attractions to visit.
Manhattan is served by three airports: John F. Kennedy International Airport (JFK), Newark Liberty International Airport (EWR), and LaGuardia Airport (LGA). JFK and Newark are both located approximately 16 miles from Manhattan while LaGuardia is approximately 8 miles away.
