Broadway, New York City

Broadway, one of New York's most famous streets, runs the full length of Manhattan. However for most visitors to New York the name Broadway is synonymous with theater, musicals and first-run shows.


Broadway more than any other street in America stands for entertainment. The heart of Broadway is the few blocks surrounding Times Square. Book Broadway tickets in advance for guaranteed seats and pricing. Local sellers also offer last-minute deals (if not always great seats).

Statue of Liberty - New York City, New York

The Statue of Liberty is one of New York City's (and the USA's) most iconic attractions. The monument was a gift from France in 1886, celebrating the 100th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence.


The statue is 151 feet (46m) tall and stands, fittingly, on Liberty Island at the mouth of New York Harbor.

Lady Liberty welcomes visitors and immigrants with the famous words, "Give me your tired, your poor / Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free."

Empire State Building

When it comes to buildings, New York's Empire State Building is top of the heap. The 102-story iconic skyscraper, completed in 1931, is not only an architectural wonder but it offers wondrous 360-degree views of Gotham from its two observation decks.

9/11 Memorial & Museum

It is a rare greenscape in lower Manhattan, shaded by rustling white oaks that were chosen for their muted yellow hue come autumn. Two enormous fountains, designed by architects Michael Arad and Peter Walker, mark the footprints of the fallen towers with plunging waterfalls.

Manhattan Skyline - New York City, New York

The skyline of New York City has starred in hundreds of movies, making it one of the most iconic man-made landscapes in the world. And while the former World Trade Center once stood as the defining image of this electric city, today’s landscape has shifted slightly—though it remains just as memorable.


Travelers who wander the Big Apple’s crowded streets will find themselves at the foot of dozens of architectural landmarks—from the Empire State Building and the Chrysler Building to the sky-high spire of Freedom Tower. It’s easy to marvel from the pavement, but visitors who want to experience the skyline in all its wonder need explore beyond the sidewalks.

Travelers looking to go all out can fly high above the city in one of the popular and grand helicopter tours. But there are still plenty of options for those on a budget.

New York City, New York

What isn't New York City known for? Whether it's fashion, culture, food, nightlife, history, entertainment or just the chance to try a completely novel experience, you'll find it in NYC. What's important to understand about this iconic city is that every borough and neighborhood has its own personality and offerings.



While East Village has a rich musical past, West Village played an important role in equality for the LGBT community. SoHo is great for shopping, while the Meatpacking District is great for a posh night on the town.

Many of the local attractions have rich histories worth exploring beyond snapping a photo. Did you know that before 1904 Times Square was known as Longacre Square, full of factories, bordellos and stables? Or that the site where Rockefeller Center sits was originally supposed to be the home of the Metropolitan Opera? While the city offers much to explore on the surface, it's worth digging further.
