WHAT TO SEE IN NEW YORK IN THREE DAYS

We recommend starting your city tour with a walk around Midtown Manhattan where you can admire some of the most famous landmarks such as Grand Central Terminal, Bryant Park, 5th Avenue with her luxurious stores, St Patrick's Cathedral, and the iconic Rockefeller Center.

After your walk around the concrete jungle, you must visit one of New York's most recognizable symbol – Central Park. Here you can admire statues and memorials dedicated to famous people (including John Lennon) and walk along the well-known bridge "Bow Bridge".

Any self respecting weekend in New York will require you to set aside time to explore the city's world-renowned art museums. On your second day, consider visiting one of the Big Apple's most famous institutions, such as MoMA, the Guggenheim, or the MET. With so many incredible options to choose from, you're sure to find a museum that suits your interests and preferences.

A two-night stay is not complete without a visit to the Statue of Liberty icon to NYC and the United States. The statue gifted to us by the People of France is located on Liberty Island and can only be reached by boat for which we highly recommended to purchase the ticket in advance.

Planning a perfect weekend in New York? You really cannot miss out on the iconic Broadway experience, where you can catch some of the most famous musicals in the world. Be sure to book your tickets in advance to secure your spot. While the entrance fee may be pricey, the unforgettable performances are well worth the cost.

While Times Square may not be a favorite spot among locals, it is still a must-see destination for visitors to New York City. The iconic intersection is home to towering billboards, bustling shops, and the famous red steps. After catching a Broadway show, take a stroll through Times Square and snap some bright and colorful photos before moving on to your next adventure. It may not be loved by locals, but it's definitely worth a visit.

A short stay in New York City is not complete without experiencing the iconic skyline. On your second night, take a romantic stroll across the Brooklyn Bridge at sunset, starting from Brooklyn and ending in Manhattan for the most stunning views. Then, head to one of the many panoramic observatories in the city for a nighttime view of the city that never sleeps. Whether you choose the Empire State Building, EDGE, or the ONE World Trade Center, the breathtaking views will leave you in awe. Don't forget to snap a photo of these iconic buildings lit up at night!

If you're looking for some fun, the West Village is a great place to start. With its vibrant music scene and lively nightlife, you can spend an unforgettable evening hopping from club to club. Be sure to check out Cafe Wha, Terra Blues, and Village Vanguard for some of the best live music in the city. And don't forget to book your tickets in advance to ensure a great night out!

PRACTICAL TIPS FOR A WEEKEND IN NEW YORK

If you're planning a weekend in New York, consider purchasing an Attractions and Museums Pass to save money on admission to popular tourist spots. The New York CityPass and Go City Pass, which includes bike rental and hop on hop off buses, are great options.

For getting around the city, the subway is the most convenient method of transportation and can be accessed by contactless credit cards. For those that do not posses Apple Pay, or contactless cards, you can still buy the traditional MetroCard in any station. If you're out late at night, it's safer to take a taxi or use ride-sharing apps like Uber or Lyft, especially if you're traveling alone.

HAPPY WEEKEND IN NEW YORK!
