New York City

The Big Apple comes in at number one for being the top tourist destination city in the United States. Situated on the southernmost tip of the state, New York City actually consists of five boroughs - Manhattan, Brooklyn, the Bronx (the only borough that isn’t an island), Queens, and Staten Island. New York City – surprisingly, one of the safest major cities in the world - is home to over 8 million people and frequented by over 35 million international and domestic tourists each year.

So what makes the City that Never Sleeps so great? Well, the best way to find out is to experience this international hub for yourself, from the Empire State Building and the Statue of Liberty to musicals on Broadway and baseball games at Yankee Stadium. Whether you like to bargain shop on Canal Street or diamond shop on Fifth Avenue, stroll through Central Park or stroll through the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York has a little something for everyone, of every taste and every persuasion.

Do yourself a favor and leave your cars at home when you visit New York. It’s easier to walk, hail a cab, or ride the subways and buses to get around this densely packed city. There are over 5,700 miles of streets laid out in grid-like fashion for easier navigation on foot, so hit the streets and take in the full wonder, liveliness, and rich, diverse culture that is New York, New York.
