Bright lights, Central Park, skyscrapers, large shopping districts and big yellow taxi’s. These are just some of the words that jump out upon the mention of the big apple. For those planning a journey here is New York City – Best travel tips of all time. The first tip is location. Everybody wants to be where the action is in the heart of the city. Some recommendable hotels include the infamous Plaza, the Hilton and Park Central each has a different budget.. Simply stepping outside the front door will leave you into a sea of taxi’s, restaurants and fast moving locals so there is no better way to join in on the fun.
The next tip is to reserve in advance. For example the NBC Studio tour, very popular with tourists and locals, book ahead to avoid disappointment and to make sure you can get a viewing on time. The same rule applies for going to Lady Liberty or Ellis Island. It really speeds up the queuing process, especially during peak seasons when there is a certain joy about getting ahead faster. For those who enjoy some nice scenery and a good boat ride there is the option of ferry and boat cruises depending on personal preference. Any good New Yorker will tell you there is nothing more beautiful than viewing the Manhattan skyline at night.
Depending on the amount of time you are staying in the city for it can be nice to try get to see a variety of different things so spread out your vacation. Madam Tussauds can be fun for families and to give kids entertainment, but don’t leave out the Rockefeller Center Tour and the large selection of museum’s for Art worshipers all across the globe. Finally nobody could possibly visit NYC without taking in some shopping. Be sure to check out FAO Schwarz on fifth avenue, Barneys, and of course the legendary Bloomingdale’s. There is something to please all shoppers of different ages. Enjoy the big Apple, take pictures and remember it would be like a sin to leave without trying a cup of Coffee.
