5 New York City Tourist Attractions To Explore

Monday, October 10th, 2011

Traveling to The Big Apple will certainly excite and overwhelm your senses and your imagination. There are so many places of interest to visit. Start with New York City’s top 5 tourist attractions.

Empire State Building

The most visited tourist attraction is the Empire State Building. The view from the Observation Deck is simply breathtaking. Stepping out of the elevator will make you feel that you are much closer to heaven. You will surely fall in love with view.

Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island

The gift of France to the United States is a gift that continues to give year in and year out. The Statue of Liberty is America’s symbol of freedom. Immigrants were welcomed by the lady many moons ago. She continues to welcome people who come to visit her on Ellis Island.

Explore Ellis Island. It was once the “gateway to the new world” for the many immigrants seeking a better life. Visit the Ellis Island Museum, the Wall of Honor and the American Family Immigration History Center to learn more about this historic portal to freedom.

Grand Central Terminal

The builders of Grand Central Terminal probably never thought that it would become the third most visited place in New York City. Opened in 1913, the Grand Central Terminal has become not just a train station but also a historic US landmark. Look up at the ceiling of the Grand Central and be in awe of the astronomical mural. Walk around to see the architecture or visit restaurants and shops around the terminal.

Rockefeller Center

The television series 30 Rock has made The Rockefeller Center more popular than ever before. During Christmas time, enjoy time ice skating or simple marveling at the giant Christmas tree. Visit the Radio City Music Hall or go to the Top of the Rock Observation Deck. The Rockefeller Center is one tourist attraction not to be missed.

Central Park

There are so many things to do in Central Park – have a boat ride, enjoy an afternoon picnic, walk, run or jog. Explore the park to find out what makes it special.

When you are done visiting the 5 places above, don’t forget to visit the different museums around New York City. See the American Museum of Natural History and the Metropolitan Museum of Art. Don’t fail to visit the World Trade Center Site and spend a few quiet moments reflection at the site. Take in a Broadway Show or two and do some shopping while you are there. New York City has so much to offer. Return visits to the Big Apple is a must.

You can always search people by location (entering “New York” in the fields in the people search engines) and ask them some things about their city.
