New York trip planner
The best area to stay in New York city is as close as you can to Manhattan. It’s nice to wake up in the morning and go for a nice walk in Central park. The park is so huge you can easily spend 1-2 hours in there. To see the best view of the city, you have to visit Top of the Rock Observation Deck. It costs around 30$ but it’s well worth it to see all the city of New York at its finest. A very similar attraction is the Empire State building but in my opinion seeing either one of them is more than enough.
Another main attraction is visiting the The National 9/11 Memorial & Museum. It's a very emotional place to visit. One can't help but recall the events of September 11, 2001. This memorial site plays great tribute to those who lost their lives that day.
The most famous attraction in New York city is to walk around in Time Square. The streets are filled with lights, restaurants and stores that are open all night. The statue of liberty is the icon of New York and you can admire it from almost anywhere near the sea. In my opinion, it's not worth the time and money to go to the little island where is placed.
If you have time, you should check out the famous bull statue in wall street and explore the area.
One of my favorite attractions in New York is to visit Coney Island Beach. The beach is nice and pretty big. There’s also a little amusement park right next to the beach. If you are looking for a more quiet beach, you can visit Manhattan beach. Remember that alcohol is not allowed in most beaches in United States. So be careful, there’s always police patrolling around the beach in buggies.
If it's your first time in New York, I recommend 3-4 days in this city. Most tourists only visit New York city but they miss many other cool places in New York state. You can rent a car with the company Budget and do a mini road trip to highlight your vacations.
When you are done visiting New York city, you might as well visit Atlantic city. It takes 2 hours to get there and its located in the south of New York. They have many casinos,bars and restaurants along the beach. You can spend 1-2 days exploring this magnificent little gem then drive back to New York. If you have time, you can take 1 hour detour to visit the city of Philadelphia. You might like Phily so much that you might even stay one extra night.
In the north of New York, the most popular places to visit are; Saratoga Spring which is only 3 hours from New York city and Lake George which is 45 minutes from Saratoga Springs.On your way to Saratoga Springs, you can do a stop in the capital of New York state; Albany. It seems like this City has been shadowed by New York city’s reputation. No one really knows that Albany even exists. The city is so quiet, it gives you a feeling of being in a little ghost town. Nevertheless its a nice stop to drive around and enjoy the quietness.
When you arrive to Saratoga Springs, you’ll feel like you are in a very cozy town in the middle of nature. It’s a nice retreat from the big cities to connect with nature. There’s also countless bars and clubs in the town which makes this a popular destination for people who are looking to have fun. Its worth staying in Saratoga Springs at least 1 night.
If you are looking for more of a family trip or a romantic getaway, then you should visit lake George instead of Saratoga Springs. Its a very cozy town and beautiful which makes this places perfect for couples. I would recommend staying in this town for 1 day.
From Saratoga Springs, you can drive 3 hours to the beautiful city of Boston. This city has a lot of museums and is also home of the famous university of Harvard. You can spend 2 days exploring Boston.
So there you have it, you can do this amazing road trip in just 10 days and have an unforgettable time with your friends or family.
