Adding Splendor to Your Trip - Brief Intro to Top 5 New York City Tourist Attractions
Given the large number of equally appealing, equally important and equally engaging attractions in the financial capital of the world, New York City, it is indeed challenging to put one on top of the other in a list. The brief description of the top 5 attractions therefore does not follow any chronological order of importance.
1. Top of the Rock
Top of the Rock is an observation deck set atop 70 floors in the middle of Manhattan. This 1933 deck has recently undergone a thorough refurbishment clear safety glass now adorns the viewing center. Once you reach the top, you are offering a beholding 360 degrees view of this massive metropolis including the Statue of Liberty, the Brooklyn Bridge, and the Central Park.
2. Statue of Liberty is the 305 foot bronze statue and represents a gift of friendship from the people of France which continues to be the epitome of American dream and a universal symbol for democracy. A visit to the Ellis Island is included in your return ferry ticket. Admittance to the site is free but the ferry tickets will cost you between $4.50 and $11.50
3. Times Square is at its best during the nights when the Broadway theaters are lively and neon lit billboards add to the overwhelming spectacle.
4. Museum Mile - The nine museums in a row on the 5th avenue will help you with a different historical and artistic perspective of New York City and the nation itself.
5. Brooklyn Bridge - The best way to enjoy the Brooklyn Bridge is walking it across. After all, it is just below a mile and you won't be doing much of a ride using a taxi because of the snarls.
