There is a reason why New York is one of the most popular destinations in the world, and that’s because it offers a melting pot of cultures, attractions and cuisines. Few places in the world can compare to this remarkable city. So, if you are planning a trip to New York in the near or distant future, here are five things you must do…

Take a Stroll Through Central Park

You cannot visit New York and miss Central Park, which is spread out across 843 acres of land. With European-inspired gardens, elm tree-lined walkways and rolling green meadows, it’s the perfect place to take a snapshot of this beautiful city.

You can also enjoy performances at the outdoor theatre or can visit the memorial to The Beatles’ frontman John Lennon. To enjoy a day in the sun, have a seat at Sheep Meadow, or meet the many animals at Central Park Zoo.

Catch a Broadway Show

Broadway is the home of great theatre, so you can’t really book tickets to a bad show. Whether you love a theatrical performance or an uplifting musical, there will be something for every taste on Broadway, which often offers performances from some of the big and small screen’s most talented stars. Don’t forget to pick up an iconic Playbill before you head into the show, which will offer more information on the cast and will provide a fantastic memento.

See the View from the Empire State Building

To experience the beauty and scale of New York City, head on up to 86th floor deck of the Empire State Building. While the queues can be a little frustrating, the view is certainly worth all the hassle, and you should also consider booking your tickets online to avoid any delays. The best time to experience the view is during sunset, as you can watch the city transform from day into night, which is a beautiful sight to behold. Click here for the ultimate New York City guide.

Feel the Buzz of Times Square

There is nothing quite like the electricity of Times Square, which is full of energy and colour. Think digital advertisements, yellow cabs, mesmerising skyscrapers and flashing lights that has made the Seventh Avenue and Broadway intersection a landmark in its own right. Whether you want to grab a bite to eat, catch a show or shop ‘til you drop, there’s no better place to visit in the city.

Ellis Island

Ellis Island, located in the Financial District and Lower Manhattan, is the historical gateway that allowed the passage of 12 million immigrants between 1892 to 1924. Nowadays, Ellis Island serves as an immigration museum, offering accounts and tributes to the immigration experience. Visitors can look at photographs, footage and objects belonging to immigrants, as well as listening to stories from historians and immigrants themselves. A must-visit place to learn more about the history of New York City and the cultures that have helped to shape the United States of America.
