Attractions and Tips

New York is an iconic city with famous landmarks you won't want to miss. Be sure to see the Empire State Building, the Statue of Liberty, Freedom Tower, Ellis Island, the GE Building, the Chrysler Building, the Brooklyn Bridge and St. Patrick's Cathedral. Experience the Staten Island Ferry, the Bronx Zoo, New York Botanical Garden, Chinatown and Coney Island. You'll also want to spend a day in Central Park and Times Square.

Summer in the Big Apple can be hot and humid and this can lead to pollution issues. The best time to visit the city is in the fall when the leaves turn colors, but spring is also pleasant. Winters can be biting and snowstorms aren't unusual, so pack accordingly if you're visiting during this time.
