There is so much to do in New York that sometimes you can’t see the city because of the skyscrapers… Especially if you are going to explore The Big Apple for the first time, it can be a challenge to choose from all the sights and activities. The 5 highlights below should not be missing from your to-do list! <\/p>\n

Would you like personal tips for your New York trip? Then visit NewYork.nl at the Holiday Festival: booth 5.B124 in hall 5! <\/strong><\/p>\n

Empire State Building<\/h2>\n

The Empire State Building<\/a> is of course an icon of New York<\/strong>. From the 86th floor you look out over Midtown Manhattan and have a beautiful view of the city. <\/p>\n

Are you unsure what time to plan your visit? Take advantage of your jet lag and make sure you go out early in the morning, then it is still relatively quiet. Or go around sunset<\/strong>, then you will see the city transform from day to night, a magical moment. <\/p>\n

Tip:<\/strong> order your tickets online in advance to avoid long queues, or buy a discount pass for New York<\/strong><\/a>, then you don’t pay anything extra for your visit to the Empire State Building!<\/p>\n

The Statue of Liberty<\/h2>\n

The Statue of Liberty is the symbol of the city, and no visit to New York would be complete without a boat ride along Liberty Island. Go for the free Staten Island Ferry<\/strong> that sails past the statue from Manhattan, or book a sightseeing cruise<\/a> for a better view. <\/p>\n

If you want to see Lady Liberty up close, book tickets for the boat to Liberty Island<\/a>. You can choose to explore the island on your own or actually enter the statue<\/strong>. Don’t forget to visit Ellis Island, where millions of immigrants set foot on American soil for the first time. <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Broadway musicals<\/h2>\n

An evening on Broadway is an unforgettable experience<\/strong>. Whether you choose a classic like The Lion King<\/a>, an impressive production like MJ The Michael Jackson Musical<\/a> , or any other show, the energy, talent, and productions are all world-class. <\/p>\n

If you buy tickets before departure via NewYork.nl, you are assured of the best seats and it saves you time and money<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Central Park<\/h2>\n

In the middle of hectic Manhattan you will find a green oasis<\/strong>: Central Park. The gigantic park offers all kinds of possibilities. Take a stroll along the Bethesda Fountain, rent a bike<\/a> to tour the park, or settle down at Sheep Meadow for a picnic. <\/p>\n

In the winter you can skate at Wollman Rink<\/a>, in the summer you can sail in a rowing boat. The park is also perfect for taking a break<\/strong> from all the impressions and giving your feet a rest after a day of sightseeing. <\/p>\n

Sports competition<\/h2>\n

New Yorkers love sports, and attending a game is a great way to experience the local culture<\/strong> . Whether you choose a New York Knicks<\/a> basketball game at the legendary Madison Square Garden, a Yankees<\/a> baseball game at The Bronx, or a Rangers ice hockey game, the atmosphere is always great. <\/p>\n

Even if you don’t know the sport, the experience is still worth it. The hot dogs, the cheers of the fans and the typical American sports culture<\/strong> make it an unforgettable activity. <\/p>\n
