Stay Safe and Happy in New York City

A holiday to New York City is something so many people long to do, after all, it's been featured in countless movies, from Spiderman, to Crocodile Dundee to Wall Street, so it's an instantly recognisable, and above all, unforgettable place. But if you're one of the lucky few who have managed to travel there, you'll know that while you may be familiar with some of the sights, sounds and other features of the city, the rest of it is more than a little scary. With the streets surrounded by amazingly tall skyscrapers, and the pavements or sidewalks seeming to be permanently busy, even the most enthusiastic of travellers can feel a little overwhelmed and be unsure of where to go. So, if you want to go to New York and you want to know how to stay safe, here are a few helpful hints that will have you enjoying the very best that New York has to offer, with no problems.

Know the Area You're Staying In

Do you research on where to stay before you book and before you land, this will ensure that you have booked a hotel room in one of the safest neighbour hoods you possibly can. New York is a lot more safe than it used to be, but like everywhere else in the world, there will be places you won't want to go alone or at night. If you're unsure, many city sightseeing tours are available to tourists, and the guides are always very friendly, helpful and eager to answer any questions, however they strange they may sound.

Stay in a Group

If you're travelling with a group of friends, or with your partner it's important to stay together at certain times, such as the first few days of your holiday, until you've got more familiar with the area. If you're travelling alone, always make sure that you have you mobile on you and that it's fully charged, Have the number of your hotel and the place you are travelling to, so if you get lost, you can phone and ask for directions. If possible, inform reception at your hotel of your plans for the day and tell them what time you think you'll be back. Never leave your hotel without telling the staff or your companions where you're going.

Using Public Transport

The most popular way to travel in New York is the subway, which can take you all around the Manhattan for a small price. However, the subway can become a different place at night, so try not to travel on it late at night, and especially not if you're on your own. Buses are another travel option, but make sure you get on the right bus, and again try not to do so late at night or alone. Taxis are more expensive, but the roads can be very quiet at night, so you may not spend as much on a cab home as you might do during the day.
