The densely populated Manhattan borough is one of the world&#8217;s most populous and prominent commercial, financial, and cultural centers. Some of the most iconic sights in the city include the Empire State Building, sprawling Central Park, and neon-lit Times Square. While visiting New York City, be sure to take in the many famous museums and attractions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you&#8217;re an art lover, make time to visit the MoMA and the Guggenheim museums on the Upper East Side. These buildings feature works of art by world-renowned artists and historical artifacts. It is a great way to spend your time while exploring the city. Just keep in mind that you&#8217;ll need plenty of time to see all the exhibits. You can also enjoy a show at the famous Lincoln Center if you&#8217;re in town during a rainy day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The most popular attraction in the city is the Empire State Building. While there, you can also visit Ellis Island to see the birthplace of our first president. This building is located near Times Square and offers panoramic views of the city. A visit to the United Nations Headquarters is another must for any visitor. A tour to the U.S. Census Bureau&#8217;s American Community Survey provides an excellent background for learning about New York&#8217;s history. The museum is free and open to the public, so be sure to make time for it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you love history, there are plenty of museums in New York City that will pique your interest. The Sphere, a 1971 sculpture by Fritz Koenig, was erected in the World Trade Center plaza, and its attendance continues to rise. Hollywood stars have contributed to the success of many of the shows in New York, including the Phantom of the Opera and Chicago. Other landmarks include the Charging Bull and the Brooklyn Bridge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Whether you&#8217;re a history buff or just want to see the city from a different perspective, you&#8217;ll love the Statue of Liberty. France gifted the statue to the USA in 1886 and it has become a symbol of freedom around the globe. Its tall stature, along with its many other highlights, make it a must-see attraction in New York City. The towering structure, which stands just under 152 feet, is one of the most famous buildings in the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you&#8217;re looking for a unique vacation, New York City is the perfect place to do so.
