- Hender D1 contributionWe went there and walked around central park. NYC has a lot of park but this is my favorite park. Surrounded by nature made me so calm.Written January 14, 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.

- Christophe BQuebec City, Canada1,028 contributionsThe easiest 5 stars. FANTASTIC museum. It's huge, packed with quality galleries of all sorts.

- swiftcloud141 contributionHighly recommend the ESB! It was so cool to see the museum-like beginning historical narrative of the ESB being built over the years, then it was even cooler to go up to the 86th and 102nd floors! The 86th floor is already super high and offers an amazing outdoor view, but I also recommend the 102nd floor because you can see even further and watch the beautiful skyline from above. Staff is very friendly and the journey through the ESB has many interactive moment (eg. King Kong pictures!), so it is worth your time to do it! The ONLY reason it's not a 5/5 stars is that it's quite pricey of an experience, but if you are willing to spend that extra bit of money then I recommend it!Written January 13, 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Christophe BQuebec City, Canada1,028 contributionsEasily my favorite free activity and urban walk in NY. I started up north the path all the way to Chelsea. A 30min, easy walk with great views of the buzzing city. Well worth your time.Written January 14, 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Sherwood CNew York City, NY6 contributionsWe marveled at the stunning outdoor viewing decks, soaking in panoramic city views. The historical artifacts added a unique touch to our experience. Plus, the private event space looked perfect for celebrations. A must-visitWritten December 31, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- CTBCaliforniaGroveland, CA1,954 contributionsThe ultimate inspiration view, Lady Liberty standing tall with the Manhattan sky line and Verrazano Narrows bridge in the distance.
1. Always buy your tickets from the authorized ticket agency, NEVER buy them from someone on the street and be sure to use the one official website.
2. If it's your first time, take a tour. I've been several times in my life, so I just like to walk around and take in the view and the good vibes Lady Liberty shares with all.
3. Ellis Island is awesome, worth the time, if you do both Liberty Island and Ellis Island you could easily spend almost all day visiting these amazing sights. Take your time, read everything, learn stuff, absorb the history of these amazing landmarks, they represent the best of our country's past.Written January 14, 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

While it's WAY too packed and crowded with tourists, mascots and scammers, it is still a must see for 15min if you are in NYC.Written January 14, 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Travel Blog Anna Blunschi558 contributionsXOXO Gossip Girl. Another popular film location in New York is the Grand Central Terminal. It is the largest train station in the world and is in the heart of Manhattan. The station hall is enormous and not without reason has it appeared in numerous films. Especially striking is the elegant station clock, which draws all eyes to it. The artistic ceiling vault displays the starry sky in impressive detail.
Today, around 750,000 people pass through the station daily.
Of course, we couldn’t miss this visit, especially because of the series Gossip Girl, which I watched in my youth. The iconic opening scene of the show, where Serena van der Woodsen dramatically appears at the terminal just before her return to New York, is perhaps the most famous moment of the series.Written January 14, 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Our favorite places in NYC, which of course included walking across the Brooklyn Bridge.
My outing started with a subway ride from Central Park to the bridge area, a quick hotdog before heading across the span, and then a bit of a struggle finding a subway stop on the Brooklyn side to get back to my hotel near JFK airport. A very long day, almost 9 miles total between the park and the bridge, but totally worth it.Written January 14, 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Travel Blog Anna Blunschi558 contributionsThe New York Public Library is in the heart of Manhattan, making it easily accessible for both locals and visitors alike. It is, of course, a central hub for students, researchers, and professors, offering a wealth of resources and study spaces. However, even if you're not there for academic purposes, the library is also open to tourists, and you can explore some of its stunning rooms. Admission is free, which makes it an ideal stop for anyone looking to enjoy a peaceful moment in the city.
The building itself is an architectural marvel, showcasing a grand mix of Beaux-Arts design and the elegance of abundant marble throughout the interiors. As you approach the library, you are greeted by the iconic lion statues, "Patience" and "Fortitude," which have become symbols of the library's dedication to knowledge and perseverance.
One of the most remarkable rooms in the library is the Rose Main Reading Room, located on the third floor. This vast, majestic room is often referred to as the heart of the library, with its towering ceilings, stunning chandeliers, and rows of tables where visitors can study or read. Unfortunately, we didn’t know that the Rose Main Reading Room is only accessible from 10 to 11 a.m. each day, which meant we missed our chance to visit it. If you plan to explore this iconic space, be sure to remember the visiting hours. Alternatively, you can book a guided tour to gain a deeper insight into the library's history and architecture, as well as access rooms that might otherwise be restricted to the public.Written January 14, 2025This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
