Top places to visit

1. Times Square

Times Square may not always be to the localsā€™ taste, but this busy and energetic area dubbed the ā€œCrossroads of the Worldā€ is undoubtedly one of the most famous tourist attractions in the world.

2. Central Park

New York may be known as the city that never sleeps, but visitors should never overlook the calm and tranquillity offered by the famous Central Park. Situated in the heart of New York between the Upper West and Upper East Side neighbourhoods, this beautifully conceived green space covers 6% of Manhattan, providing woodland, lakes and charming landscaped gardens. The park, which opened in 1857, was conceived by design duo Calvert Vaux and Frederick Law Olmstead. The latter also responsible for projects such as the Stanford University Campus and the Niagara Reservation in Niagara Falls.

6. Statue of Liberty

The Statue of Liberty, standing at an impressive 93 metres from the ground to the tip of the torch, is perhaps the most easily recognisable of all of New Yorkā€™s iconic attractions. The figure of Libertas, the Roman goddess of freedom, was gifted to the United States by France in 1886 to commemorate the American Declaration of Independence. This landmark is often credited with embodying the most fundamental American values, including the freedom and opportunity offered in the ā€œNew Worldā€.

A busy urban street with yellow taxis, pedestrians, and tall buildings with illuminated signs.

8. Yankee Stadium

Yankee Stadium has been one of New York Cityā€™s iconic destinations for almost a hundred years, ever since the original was built in 1923. The teamā€™s new home, constructed at a cost of $2.3 billion, is the most expensive stadium ever built, but manages to include both deluxe amenities and many references to the Yankeesā€™ long history. Enjoy a typical New York experience by hopping on the subway northward, ready to spend an afternoon watching Americaā€™s pastime.
