Illustrative images. The pictures in this guide are illustrations based on the real place, not photographs, and may differ from it.
Get to know the place
New York is known by neighborhoods and layers: the tall buildings of Midtown, the older streets of lower Manhattan, the major museums around Central Park and Brooklyn’s waterfront. Walking and using the subway lets you change atmosphere without relying on a car.
The Statue of Liberty requires a boat leg, while the Met, MoMA and Guggenheim demand time inside the galleries. Observation decks convey the scale of the islands, but you don’t need to visit them all to understand the city; choose based on the view and the type of observatory.
Broadway works as an evening program and should be planned with the theater’s distance to your lodging in mind. Taxes on purchases may be added to the ticket price.

Before you go
A little planning leaves more time to enjoy the journey.
April to June and September to October usually favor walking tours. December is busy with holiday activity; January and February tend to be cold. July and August are hot and humid.
The seasons shown are the most usual ones; nature doesn't always follow the calendar.
Six to eight days allow for lower Manhattan, Midtown, Central Park, museums and Brooklyn without stacking large visits.
Midtown makes the first trip and the theaters easier; Chelsea and Greenwich Village favor walking. In Brooklyn, compare the distance to the subway before choosing your base.
Take your trash with you, follow the signs and support local businesses. In natural areas, follow the visiting guidelines.
