One of the largest art museums in the world is located in downtown Manhattan. A month is probably not enough to see the entire exposition, but it is definitely worth visiting at least for a couple of hours.

Central Park
A real oasis lurks among the concrete jungle of New York – a huge park with an area of 3.41 km 2 . You have probably seen in films how locals go for a morning jog or a leisurely evening walk here. It really is a “meeting place that can’t be changed”, be sure to stop by to see it.
Photo by Chris Cooper
If you are in New York during the warm season, be sure to take a boat and ride on the lake named after Jacqueline Kennedy. You can also go cycling and visit the zoo. In winter, a skating rink opens in the park. Various events take place throughout the year, the schedule of which can be viewed here.
9. Times Square
One of New York’s most famous must-see squares, named after the New York Times, which has been based here since 1904. Skyscrapers, neon advertising signs and people, as if in an anthill, quickly scurrying about business with important people – all this has its own special magnetism. When you stand in the middle of Times Square, it seems that all the fuss of the world is concentrated here.

10. Brooklyn Bridge
The most beautiful, oldest, iconic – there are many epithets for the Brooklyn Bridge, but it’s better to just take it and walk along it. Bridges in New York are generally a separate category of attractions. This particular suspension bridge was built in 1883 and connects Manhattan with Brooklyn.
Photo by Idaliska
If you walk along the bridge in the evening, be sure to stop at its foot from Brooklyn to look at the fantastic panorama of Manhattan. It is she who is most often placed on postcards in New York.
11. The Cloisters Museum
Tourists drop in here much less often, but in vain – the place stands out sharply among other significant attractions in New York. On the Upper West Side, in a beautiful building stylized as a medieval abbey, there is a branch of the Metropolitan Museum of Art. In the cloisters (covered galleries) there is a unique collection of medieval Christian art, and in the courtyard you can sit at a cafe table (cappuccino – $5, a glass of wine – $12) and watch the spray play in an elegant fountain.
Photo by Elizabeth Turner
If you look here, you will be pleasantly surprised: all of a sudden, in an instant, from a noisy and always in a hurry metropolis, you will be transported to a quiet harbor of the Middle Ages, one of the most interesting places in New York.
As in the case of the Metropolitan, paid entrance here is only recommended, if you wish, you can go absolutely free.
12. Museum of Remembrance 9/11
If you want to commemorate those who died on 9/11, visit the museum located on the site of the Twin Towers. More precisely, on the site of the destroyed buildings, two unusual pools are now located and a small park has been laid out, and the museum itself is located under them.

Broadway Theater
One of the evenings in New York should be devoted to visiting a Broadway show. You may not even study the repertoire.

If you are afraid that you will not understand much from the performance, do not worry, Broadway musicals are understandable to everyone and everyone, be sure to go.

14. Guggenheim Museum
The museum building itself is like a work of art, to say nothing of the collection gathered in it. If you want to admire unusual masterpieces of modern art – you need to visit this place when visiting New York. Be careful, the exposition is updated quite often, and at the time of preparing a new exhibition, the museum is closed to the public. You can follow this on the official website. The price of the entrance ticket should be specified there.

15. Brooklyn Botanical Garden

Although the entrance is usually paid, on Tuesdays it is free. You can also go for free on Saturday from 22:00 to 00:00 if you want to arrange a romantic night walk.

16. Coney Island
Not sure what to do in New York? An island of entertainment in the ocean of New York business life. The first fast food, the first roller coaster and the first children’s attraction – all this first appeared on Coney Island. Be sure to take a walk along the Rigelmann Promenade and the famous Brighton Beach, soak up the beach, experience nerves on the roller coaster and try the local hot dog.

17. Wall Street

18. Grand Central Station
You don’t have to go anywhere in New York, just come and see the beauty of Grand Central Station in New York.

19. Soho area
Once upon a time there were factories and plants here, in the mid-80s this area of Manhattan was chosen by bohemians and created many galleries and atmospheric establishments. Today, Soho has become a residential area, where tourists come to visit local shops and cafes.
