New York, United States

  City most represented on movie screens, from King Kong to Woody Allen, New York yet retains its magic and mystery. Cross the Brooklyn Bridge to get lost in Chinatown, stroll through Central Park, stand at the foot of the Statue of Liberty or visit museums, all reasons you get carried away by the hectic pace of the city that never sleeps.

Times Square

  Simply the most visited place in the world! Also called "The Crossroads of the World". The famous New Yorker intersection is located in the heart of Manhattan and is known for its gigantic animated ads, endless bright buildings, the naked cowboy, his inordinate shops (M & M's World, Toys'R'Us), musicals ...

  This area bustles all year, at all hours and in all weathers! As is a central area very well served by several subway lines, bus, etc., it may be interesting for housing. I advise you to watch the promotions hotels and to book as soon as possible because prices can become very expensive very quickly in the Big Apple. If you do not really know where to look, this is the perfect link to find all specials as long as it is in Times Square and New York in general. For those interested, I give indications of good hotels in the lower section, so feel free to watch.

Empire State Building or Top Of the Rock

  Both locations will offer stunning views over the city of New York. For about $ 25 you will overhang Manhattan (unless you buy a CityPass and you'll save) and quickly fill up the memory card from your camera. I suggest you get there before sunset and wait for nightfall to see the buildings light up gradually.

Flatiron Building

  One of the first buildings built in the world (1902). This historic building is named for its triangular shape that reminds irons.

  Besides the Flatiron Building is Madison Square Park, Take this opportunity to go and take a relaxing break and taste the famous Shake Shack Burger. (More information about this restaurant on our article "5 affordable restaurants in New York")

Central Park: the lung of the city

  The New York Historical Park is also one of the most famous parks in the world. Amazing place for relaxation and recreation, the park stretches from 59th Street to 110th Street! The calm and the atmosphere is totally different grand boulevards Manhattan: you can go ice skating or cross country skiing in winter, cross the bike park or skating, canoeing, admire New Yorkers doing their jogging daily or indulging in their favorite sports (baseball, American football, ...) approach the squirrels, you collect on the memorial of John Lennon, or just take a nap on one of the many small hills.

Like in the film "The Wolf of Wall Street" :)

September 11 Memorial:

  This place more qu'émouvant is free and accessible to all. For cons, the museum, I recommend you more than anything in the world as it is striking is not free ($ 24 for adults, $ 15 for children) ... except on Tuesdays, between 17h and 20h, or it's free. Know that the Memorial is included in the activities of the CityPass
