New York City is definitely one of the locations that you will find on many bucket lists. It is an iconic place to visit and with so much to see and do in America’s Big Apple, you can find that you are truly spoilt for choice. However, there are some great things to do and places to see and I wanted to highlight some of the things that could inspire you if you have a trip planned or coming up in the future.

Embrace the iconic Empire State Building

The Empire State Building is one of the iconic building in New York City and so it definitely is one of those places that you may want to head to the top of just to say you have done it. The views from the top of the skyline of NYC will have you grabbing your camera and snapping away.

The Statue of Liberty

Another iconic site would be the Statue of Liberty and one of the best ways to see it is from as boat and sailing around it. You can even have a tour and head to the island and picking up tickets in advance can often help you save on this attraction.

Enjoy a show on Broadway

A great reason to visit NYC is to take in one of the amazing shows you can find on Broadway. There are some popular shows in New York that you can see and some of them have some very famous faces in them as well. Many actors and actresses want to have a “gig” on broadway, which is why it is well worth researching what you want to see before you go.

Have your picture taken at Times Square

Times Square is another iconic place. The famous intersection has bright lights, many different advertisements and shoppers to keep your eyes gazing from one part to the next. Many want a selfie or picture with Times Square as their backdrop. The perfect Instagram capture. It is certainly worth a visit just to say that you have been there.

The 9/11 memorial and museum

There was certainly a sadness and devastation that was in the air back when the terrorist attacks hit the Twin Towers. But now where once stood two very large buildings that dominated the NYC skyline, you will find the 9/11 memorial and the museum. It is definitely worth spending the time to show your respect and will be an experience not to forget.

Take a walk around Central Park

Central Park is definitely one of the highlights of New York City, and is in the centre of the city. A walk around the park, sitting in a horse drawn carriage and watching the world go by, it is certainly a great way to spend some time and can give you a chance to slow down a little as the city can be full of hustle and bustle.

Find the famous sites from your favourite TV shows

Finally, you may want to go around the city looking for some of the famous sights from your much loved TV shows. Perhaps you want to find where Central Perk would be and the famous Friends apartment, or even the door of the Manhattan apartment famous in the series sex and the city.

I hope that this has inspired you to consider heading to the Big Apple soon.
