Tips for your New York trip
Do you want to start preparing for your trip to New York? Then read the tips below!
1. Plan your days smartly
There are hundreds of things to do in New York and you can easily enjoy yourself for weeks. But you probably don’t have that much time, so it’s wise to take a good look at your planning before you leave.
What do you want to see and do? And what is close to each other, so that you can combine smartly and don’t have to travel back and forth too much? Day schedules for New York will help you with this. Use them as inspiration and adjust the planning to suit your exact needs.
2. Arrange your transfer
Upon arrival in New York, your first introduction to the city will be the drive from the airport to your hotel. Of course, it’s nice to get into an iconic yellow cab right away, but that’s not always the best option.
For example, if you arrive at Newark, you are in New Jersey and there are no yellow cabs. And if you’re staying in Brooklyn or Long Island City, it may be easier to take the subway. Check out the New York Transfer Planner to see exactly what options are available for your route.
3. Buy a discount pass
When visiting New York, you naturally want to see different sights. Then don’t go for individual tickets, but buy a discount pass, such as the New York Explorer Pass!
With one pass, you get access to almost all the famous attractions in the city. That is a lot cheaper and it saves you hassle with different tickets.
4. Take the subway
The best way to see a lot of the city is to go for a walk. But sometimes you have to go very far, or you are tired from a day of sightseeing. Then the metro is the ideal way to get to your destination.
With a 7-day OMNY card , you can travel unlimited on the metro and bus for a week, so you don’t have to think about a ride more or less!
5. Stay online
Keep in touch with the home front and share your photos on the socials? You can do that easily and cheaply with an e-SIM for New York.
With this extra data bundle on your phone, you can stay online during your trip, without running into high costs.
With these tips you can start preparing for your New York trip right away. Would you like personal advice? Then visit NewYork.nl at the Vakantie Festival: booth 5.B124 in hall 5!
