And, because of all this, it's important to know the top 10 New York travel places.
The first thing you need to do is wear comfortable and sensible shoes because you will be doing a lot of walking. Manhattan may not be so large, but walking the streets can be quite tiring.
Of course, we have all heard of Central Park. It is a place that everyone must visit if they are going to Manhattan. It has lots to offer in terms of beauty and nature. Taking a walk down Broadway would also be highly recommended. Having said that, one should not miss Times Square, especially if you are going to visit at a particular time of year when there are many events.
Around Christmas time, one must definitely go to Rockefeller Center. This is where they have an outdoor skating rink and anyone can enjoy themselves while skating next to the elaborate and incredibly large Christmas tree they have on display.
Not too long ago, the World Trade Center would have been on that list as well so that you'll be able to see the whole city from the rooftops. However, it has been replaced by Ground Zero. You may want to make some time to get out there. Now, you can only view the city from the Empire State building.
Other places that are noteworthy include the Statue of Liberty and the Ellis Island Museum of Immigration which you would get to with the Staten Island Ferry. The Met which is an extremely popular museum with incredible art on display at all times should also not be missed. Finally Grand Central Station is a certain stop that will surely please you which provides dining, shopping, and even tours for visitors.
