Your New York Holidays Allow You to Visit Famous Attractions
New York City is a place where hundreds of languages
are spoken and is home to a linguistically and ethnically diverse population.
It is also a place where you'll find plenty of attractions worth exploring.
Also called New York, the city is often considered the cultural and financial
capital of the world as it influences almost all the countries on the planet
when it comes to commerce, technology, research, politics, entertainment,
education, fashion, arts, and sports. Besides visiting many of its
architectural marvels, you'll also have the chance to enjoy some fabulous
dining and shopping experiences while getting around in this American city.
Don't miss the Statue of Liberty when you go sightseeing
during your New
York holidays. This world-famous monument was a gift of France to the
United States of America (USA). It is one of the greatest icons of this country
and a symbol of freedom. You can get excellent views of this statue from
Battery Park, which is located in the southern part of Manhattan. However, the
most popular way of seeing this magnificent statue is to see it close by taking
a boat trip to Liberty Island. Upon making your reservation in advance, you'll
also get the chance to visit the crown of this statue.
Another interesting place to be in is the Metropolitan
Museum of Art, which is popularly known as 'The Met'. It was founded in the late
19th century and is among the well-known museums in the USA today. There are
three sites of this museum. However the most significant among them is the one
located on 5th Avenue. The permanent collection of the Metropolitan Museum of
Art contains over 2 million works of art covering 5,000 years. The collection
includes Egyptian art, American decorative arts, costumes, arms and armour, and
musical instruments.
Empire State Building is also an interesting place to
visit as it was the world's tallest building when it opened in 1931. This
102-storey building has two observatories, from where you can enjoy
awe-inspiring views of the surroundings. One of them is located on the 86th
floor at a height of over 1,000 feet. It is New York City's highest open-air
observation deck and has featured in many movies and television shows. The
topmost deck is located on the 102nd Floor at a height of 1,250 feet. You can
avoid the long queues to the observation deck by purchasing a ticket in advance
that allows you to bypass the lines.
If you wish to take a break from your sightseeing
schedules and the hustle-bustle of crowds, head to Central Park. This is a
wonderful place to unwind amidst beautiful natural surroundings and has many
attractions for visitors within its boundaries. While in this park, you can
walk, enjoy a carriage ride, or ride a bicycle on its pathways. If you're
visiting during the winter season, you can try skating across Wollman Rink
located in the park. The best aspect about the attractions of Central Park is
that most of them are free for all visitors.
