Let's explore.

The most crowded and densely populated city
in the US is divided into five boroughs:

Manhattan, Staten Island, Brooklyn,
Queens, and the Bronx.

Manhattan is surrounded by the Hudson River
on one side and the East River on the other.

For orientation, let's start with Central
Park and continue all the way to the south.

Central Park, the most visited urban park in America
and one of the world's most famous parks,

ends with Fifth Avenue on the east side.

There you'll find many luxury boutiques,
flagship stores, and museums.

If you continue south on Fifth Avenue,
you'll find the Museum of Modern Art,

Rockefeller Center, famous for
its Top of the Rock observation deck,

and St. Patrick's Cathedral.

From Fifth Avenue, you can go west to the
Theater District, where Broadway theaters

and Times Square are located.

Or you can go east to the Grand Central Terminal,
the world-famous train station,

and to the nearby Chrysler Building.

The impressive New York Public Library's main
branch building is situated right next

to beautiful Bryant Park.

On Manhattan's far West side, you'll find
the Vessel, one of the newest architectural

marvels in New York City,
located in Hudson Yards.

Visit also an outdoor sky deck - the Edge.

Nearby you'll find the popular High Line,
an elevated park and urban food court,

as well as Chelsea Market,
a famous New York City food hall.

Don't skip Little Island across the street,
an artificial island park opened in 2021.

From Chelsea Market, let's go back to Fifth
Avenue, where the iconic triangular tower

Flatiron stands next to Madison Square Park.

And of course, we shouldn't forget about the
Empire State Building.

Let's continue.

Lower Manhattan, also called Downtown Manhattan
or Downtown New York, is home to the famous

SoHo neighborhood, where you'll find many
artists' lofts and art galleries

as well as multiple extravagant shops.

Two other interesting neighborhoods here are
Little Italy and Chinatown.

In the Financial District, you'll find the
World Trade Center complex, which was rebuilt

after the 9/11 terrorist attacks.

The complex's main building is One World Trade
Center, also known as the Freedom Tower.

Just outside the skyscraper, there is the
9/11 Memorial & Museum and the Oculus,

an impressive transportation hub.

Further south of the Financial District, you'll
find Wall Street, home to the NY Stock Exchange

and historical Seasport district.

Let's continue to Brooklyn Bridge crossing
the East River and connecting Manhattan with

Brooklyn and a popular DUMBO or Williamsburg
neighborhoods.

The Statue of Liberty, a universal symbol
of freedom and democracy, and Ellis Island,

a former inspection station for over 12 million
immigrants to the United States and democracy,

are a ferry ride away from the southern tip
of Manhattan.

For sports fans, a visit to Yankee Stadium
in the Bronx is a must.

Don’t skip MetLife Stadium, home to New
York Giants, located in New Jersey,

Citi Field in Queens,

Barclay center in Brooklyn,

and many others, also used for
concerts and other events.

If you love nature, there are plenty of green
spots to discover, from several zoos and botanic

gardens spread across New York City, to other
impressive parks, like Prospect Park in Brooklyn

or Flushing Meadows Corona Park in Queens.

If you visit NYC between May and October,
don’t skip Governors island.

In the summertime, many locals visit Coney
Island or Brighton Beach to relax and have fun.

Typically, you’ll arrive in New York at
one of the following airports:

John F. Kennedy Airport - New York’s largest
airport located in Queens

Newark Liberty Airport in New Jersey
and LaGuardia Airport, which is in Queens

and is mainly used for domestic flights.

The two major train stations in New York City
are Grand Central Terminal and Penn Station.

Grand Central is in Midtown on the East Side,

while Penn Station is just
below Midtown on the West Side.

Many subway and bus lines serve both stations.

To get a better sense of distances, a 2.6 mi.
or 4.1 km walk from one side of Central Park

to the other along upper Fifth Avenue
takes about 50 minutes.

If you walk and take the metro,
it takes about 20 minutes.

Also, it takes about 1 h 15 minutes to walk
from Time Square to the 9/11 Memorial,

or about 25 minutes if you walk
and take the metro.
