New York City is one of the largest cities in the world. It’s considered to be one of the most typical American cities with its huge skyscrapers, wide roads and impressive bridges.

is the oldest and most fascinating of the bridges connecting the island of Manhattan to other shores.

The Brooklyn Bridge

It is the busiest port, located at the mouth of the Hudson river on the islands in the New York Harbour.

The Statue of Liberty, one of the most famous landmarks in the United States, stands at the entrance to New York Harbor.

A gift from the people of France in 1884, the Statue of Liberty is regarded as a symbol of the United States and an expression of freedom and opportunity. The statue depicts liberty as a woman draped in flowing robes and carrying a lighted torch. She wears a crown of seven spikes that represent the seven seas and seven continents. In her left arm, she has a tablet bearing the date of the American Declaration of Independence, July 4, 1776.

Mention the City that Never Sleeps, The Big Apple, Gotham or Manhattan and most people know you are referring to New York City. While some people think Manhattan is synonymous with New York City it's actually only one of five boroughs — the others being the Bronx, Brooklyn, Queens and Staten Island — that make up New York City. Almost 6.5 million New Yorkers live outside Manhattan. In addition to the more than 8 million people living in all five boroughs, over 30 million people enjoy a New York City vacation each year. Whether you live here or are planning a visit, this on-line travel magazine was designed to make your stay more fun and memorable

This is Manhatten, the center of New York, where the most interesting and well-known sights are located. Can you remember some of them?

This is Central Park

In 1856, landscape architects Frederick Law Olmsted and Calvert Vaux transformed 843 acres of land into New York's most treasured public space. New York City's Central Park is an ideal place to enjoy a wide variety of music, theater and dance performances.

playing fields; a small zoo; an ice-skating rink; a carousel; an outdoor theater; and numerous fountains and sculptures.

The park contains grassy meadows, wooded groves, and formal gardens; paths for running, strolling, horseback riding, and biking;

The Metropolitan Museum Of Art

The Metropolitan Museum of Art is the largest and most beautiful art museum in all of NYC.

With a diverse collection embracing over two million works of art, the Metropolitan Museum of Art ranks as one of the world's great museums.

Why Times Square was called so:

The New York Times newspaper moved its offices in 1904 to an area near 42nd Street, which was renamed Times Square in honour of the publication.

Times Square

Each year thousands gather to watch a ball drop from a building to signal the beginning of a new year.

Broadway shows, the largest, longest running and most famous New Year's Eve Cele- ration, MTV and Good Mor- ning America, gigantic neon signs, zipper boards and 24 hour crowds — it could only be Times Square. Times Square and Broadway are especially impressive at night. Why, how do you think?

Broadway

Broadway is the street, where a lot of theatres famous of musicals are located.

Now you can see the Guggenheim Museum-museum of modern and contemporary art

The Guggenheim Museum is renown for it's diverse collection of art and the Manhattan location's architecture. Frank Lloyd Wright designed the building at 1071 Fifth Avenue and it "shattered the existing notions of what a museum could be". The Rotunda of the Guggenheim stands out against the rectilinear architecture of surrounding buildings.

Not only super modern buildings can you see in New York…

St Patrick's Cathedral

What’s the name of this building?

It’s the Empire State Building

the Empire State Building in midtown Manhattan is once again the tallest building in New York. The Empire State Building was completed in 1931 — King Kong climbed it in 1933 — and, like the World Trade Towers, once had a plane hit it. A B-25 bomber crashed into the 79th floor on a Saturday in July 1945, killing the crew and 14 people in the building but not seriously damaging the structure. Quite possibily the most popular tourist destination in New York, the Empire State Building Observatory on the 86th and 102nd floors provides incredible views of Manhattan and on a clear day up to 80 miles in any direction.

Construction of the 39 floor 544 feet tall building took place between 1949 and 1951 and it was officially opened on January 9, 1951.

The UN building was designed by an international group of architects led by Wallace K. Harrison, Oscar Niemeyer and Le Corbusier.

The UN site is an international territory that has it's own fire dept, security force and postal service. One of the most popular tourist attractions is sending mail and postcards with UN stamps, which can only be mailed from the United Nations.

As you enter the Plaza you will see one of the UN's signature pieces of art, a gun with a knot in the barrel. Donated by Luxembourg ten years ago, this piece was created by the Swede Fredrik Reuterswärd and is called Non-Violence'.

There are a lot of interesting and well-known sights to visit in New York. Before we finish our journey, I’d like to advise you to go to this magnificent city if you have such an opportunity!
