What to see in New York

More than 54 million tourists visit New York each year, wishing to experience the city that never sleeps. Now you can see the Empire State Building first-hand, take photos with the Statue of Liberty, or take a walk across the Brooklyn Bridge and enjoy the spectacular view of Manhattan and other attractions. If you’re planning on visiting New York in the summer, you can have a picnic or soak up some sun, while the winter is an ideal time to create a winter fairy-tale and visit an ice-skating rink.

Looking for some culture and history? You’re welcome in American Museum of Natural History where you’ll find a replica of a brachiosaurus and a blue whale. Those of you who prefer art instead will definitely enjoy a tour of the Guggenheim Museum or the Metropolitan Museum of Art.

Sports enthusiasts should head to various stadiums New York has to offer – Yankee Stadium, the home of New York Mets, the Yankee competitors – Citi Field, or the arena of the famous New York Knicks – Madison Square Garden. You’ll never get bored in New York – you can stop and listen to a street performer, attend a show at Broadway, or simply walk across Time Square and follow the crowd. The possibilities are endless.
