纽约拥有 59 个社区行政区,每个行政区都有其独特的氛围,能为各种类型的游客提供无数的景点和探索点。 纽约一如既往地令人兴奋且充满创意,没有任何地方能与之媲美;这座城市的艺术界拥有一些世界上最伟大的机构,其建筑依然无与伦比,而夜生活则拥有极佳的酒吧和餐厅。 更重要的是,这座城市总能以新的方式带给我们惊喜,无论是古怪有趣的打卡地,还是迷人的小众景点。 无论您选择在这里做什么,在“大苹果”您永远不会感到无聊! 所以,如果您正考虑抽点时间来探索这座钢铁森林,请查看我们为您列出的该地区最佳活动清单。 无论您是艺术爱好者、历史迷还是美食家,都一定能找到适合您口味的活动。
参观景点
纽约最显著的特色之一就是其引人注目且风格多样的建筑。 如果您想欣赏更多城市景观,Empire State Building 绝对是不二之选。 作为这座城市最具标志性的景点之一,这座建筑因其惊人的高度和气势而脱颖而出。 观景台从高处提供令人赞叹的城市美景,仅限最勇敢的旅行者挑战。 这是一个绝对不容错过的纽约景点和独一无二的体验,此站应排在每位游客行程的首位! 我们在纽约最喜欢的另一项活动是参观 Statue of Liberty。 对于那些希望了解更多美国发展史的人来说,这座历史古迹是必看之选,它象征着自由与希望。 这座雕像远不止是一座美丽的建筑,它更讲述了美国梦的故事。 游览期间,按照惯例您还应前往 Ellis Island,在那里您可以了解这一曾是美国最繁忙移民入境点的历史背景。 事实上,40% 的美国人都可以将自己的根源追溯到这座岛屿。 这里最受欢迎的活动是参观国家移民博物馆(National Museum of Immigration),但也有其他精彩的活动,例如安全帽导览游和游船之旅,我们强烈建议您了解一下。 这是一次充满魅力且令人动容的体验,非常适合各个年龄段的游客。
虽然纽约以其现代摩天大楼而闻名,但这座城市也拥有许多令人赞叹的古老建筑。 对于那些对城市结构完整性感兴趣的游客,我们建议您在布鲁克林大桥(Brooklyn Bridge)上走一走。 对于建筑爱好者和历史迷来说,这一景点是哥特复兴式建筑的典范;近距离观察,您可以尽情领略其雄伟塔楼和钢缆的壮丽风采。 如今,这座大桥依然保持着其美感,并可让您尽享城市景观和东河(East River)的壮丽景色。 由于这段路程相当长,我们建议您穿着最舒适的鞋子,并提前查看天气!
感受氛围
如果没有探索过 Central Park,您的纽约之行就不算完整。 这一人造城市绿地坐落于市中心,每年吸引数百万游客——而且理由充分! 作为纽约市最典型的景点和全球取景次数最多的地点,这座公园是这座城市最迷人的地方之一。 尽管如此,我们认为它绝不仅仅只有“颜值”;这里实际上拥有无数有趣的景点、活动和项目。 在这里,您可以参观动物园、历史悠久的花园和地标建筑,甚至可以划皮划艇。 无论您的兴趣点是什么,都一定能在中央公园中心地带找到心仪之选!
如果您正在游览纽约,那么一定不能错过中央航站楼。 我们不想被贴上肤浅的标签,但这个地方最突出的特点确实是其无可争议的美感。 不过,中央航站楼的魅力远不止于此;在它那充满历史感的屋顶下,您可以找到丰富的购物和餐饮选择。 此外,您还可以乘坐地铁前往下一个目的地,体验原汁原味的纽约生活!
学习新知识
纽约充满艺术与文化气息,无疑是美国最适合创意人士探索的城市之一。 虽然这座城市拥有极其丰富的艺术画廊,但由于其广泛的美国现代及当代艺术收藏,我们的首选绝对是 Whiney。 漫步在展馆中,游客可以欣赏到超过 25,000 件涵盖各种媒介的一流艺术珍藏。 该博物馆位于肉库区(Meatpacking District),这是一个时尚街区,拥有许多值得探索的优质景点和美食市场。
纽约长期以来因其非凡的博物馆而闻名,对于任何渴望知识的游客来说,这里都是一场绝佳的盛宴。 American Museum of Natural History 坐落在上西区(Upper West Side),致力于培养人们对周围世界的迷恋与好奇。 该机构占地超过 200 万平方英尺,以拥有全球同类中规模最大的收藏库而闻名。 在馆内,您将能欣赏到超过 3,400 万件令人惊叹的标本,包括美洲原住民文物、恐龙骨骼,当然还有其著名的蓝鲸模型。 我们非常喜爱这里,因为离开时您一定会收获新的知识。 在纽约,有无穷无尽的活动、景观和体验等着您。 文化机构、重大历史地标以及精彩纷呈的景点——一切都近在咫尺。 虽然您绝不会缺有趣的活动,但可能需要费一番功夫才能精简您的行程。 如果您只是短期游玩,我们建议您提前规划,让旅程更加轻松从容。 无论您选择做什么,我们相信都会非常精彩——毕竟,这里可是纽约! 为了充分享受您的假期,请查看 Go City® 的畅游包和自选包。 欲了解更多信息,请在 Instagram 和 Facebook 上与我们联系。 有了 Go City®,您可以花更少的钱,看更多的景点。
Morning: Central Park bike tour
Morning: Central Park bike tour
A guided cycling tour of Central Park is a fine – and crucially low-energy – way to find your bearings on your first day in town. Spend a leisurely two hours gaining an intro to the most famous green space in the States without any risk of getting tangled up in paper maps or hopelessly lost in the Ramble. Your guide will give you a taste of the park’s 843 acres, calling at highlights including the Imagine mosaic (a tribute to John Lennon), the pretty Shakespeare Garden and the swoonworthy selfie spot that is the graceful Bow Bridge. It’s your sunny cycling springboard into NYC sightseeing, and is all but guaranteed to draw you back to Central Park for further exploration later in your stay.
Afternoon: Museum of Modern Art
Now, it’s fair to say New York ain’t short of a blistering art museum or six, from the mighty Met on Museum Mile to the Whitney’s superlative selection of American classics and the many, many hip indie galleries of Chelsea. But, for our money, you can’t beat Midtown’s Museum of Modern Art (MoMA), perhaps the finest repository of 20th-century art on the planet, with landmark pieces by Picasso, Pollock, Dali, Duchamp, Kahlo, Warhol and more. Gaze into van Gogh’s celestial Starry Night and meditate with Monet’s mesmerizing Water Lilies. Bonus: there are a couple of excellent lunch options right inside the museum. Anyone for a can of Campbell’s soup?
Evening: Empire State Building Observatory
Cap your first amazing day in NYC with another bona fide bucket-lister. The Empire State Building needs little introduction. Heck, that graceful Art Deco facade and tapering crown is almost as familiar as your own reflection. Now’s your chance to get inside the iconic skyscraper (once the world’s tallest), ascending 86 floors and more than 1,000 feet for stellar bird’s-eye views of the Manhattan skyline and beyond. Don’t skip the chance to snap a selfie with King Kong while you’re there (yes, really) and to pose with bronze sculptures of Depression-era construction workers.
Check out our complete guide to visiting the Empire State Building here.
Day 2: Brooklyn and Broadway
Morning: Brooklyn Bridge and DUMBO
Morning: Brooklyn Bridge and DUMBO
Follow in the footsteps of ‘greatest showman’ P.T. Barnum, who marched 21 elephants and 17 camels across the Brooklyn Bridge in 1884. Thankfully, you don’t need to bring your own menagerie. In fact, your most pressing decision will be whether to go it alone, or to join a guided walking or cycling tour. Either way, you can expect Insta-perfect selfie moments beneath the bridge’s Neo-Gothic stone towers and stunning views of Manhattan and the East River. And there’ll be plenty of time to explore the trendy DUMBO neighborhood with its waterside cafés, hip art galleries and chic boutiques when you reach the other side.
Tip: rent a bike for the day to give you more time and freedom to explore Brooklyn.
Afternoon: Brooklyn Botanic Garden
Pedal (or hop the bus) down to pretty Prospect Park, which counts woodlands, a boating lake, a zoo and a botanical garden among its many charms. Brooklyn Botanic Garden spans more than 50 acres at the park’s northern end and is pretty much tailor-made for serene, sunny New York afternoons. And, with more than 14,000 plant species, there’s plenty of eye (and nose) candy on display. Come over all dramatic in the Shakespeare Garden, stop to smell the Cranford Garden’s roses and go full zen mode among the Japanese Hill-and-Pond Garden’s wooden bridges and spring cherry blossoms.
Evening: The bright lights of Broadway
Times Square is a sensory fiesta at any time of day, but perhaps especially in the evening when the digital billboards light the streets and restaurants bustle with pre-theater diners. Soak it all in, then take your seats for curtain up… the show is about to begin. We’re talking of course about Broadway, the finest theater district in the world, where you can catch anything from hard-hitting plays led by Hollywood legends to globe-straddling musicals like Hamilton and Wicked, plus off-Broadway productions that give you the chance to watch the stars of tomorrow perform in more intimate venues.
Day 3: Lower Manhattan and beyond
Morning: Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island Immigration Museum
Morning: Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island Immigration Museum
Ready to tick off yet another New York icon? Sure you are! Probably the most famous statue in the world, the Green Goddess stands sentinel on Liberty Island in New York Harbor, casting her steely (or should that be coppery?) gaze out to the wide Atlantic Ocean. Catch the ferry out from Battery Park for close-up photo ops and a stop at Ellis Island, where the Immigration Museum tells the real stories behind the ‘huddled masses’ – millions of immigrants who were processed here between 1892 and 1954.
Afternoon: 9/11 Memorial and Museum
Back in Lower Manhattan, the 9/11 Memorial and Museum is a deep and moving journey into New York’s darkest day, and essential for any true understanding of the city’s psyche both before and after the World Trade Center attacks on September 11, 2001. The museum focuses on the bravery and resilience of New Yorkers, with recorded first-hand testimonies and exhibits including surviving sections of wall and staircase, and even a pear tree that miraculously survived the devastation. Two vast reflective pools shimmer in the footprints of the original North and South towers, a tranquil space for quiet remembrance.
Evening: One World Observatory
Sure, you’ve already been up the Empire State Building, so what does One World Observatory have that the ESB doesn’t? Well, at 1,776 feet it’s the tallest building in the Western Hemisphere. So there’s that. Its location in Lower Manhattan also makes for superior close-up views of Lady Liberty, the Brooklyn Bridge and Governors Island. And, with an observation deck that’s a whopping 1,250 feet above street level, it’s just about as high as you can get in New York. Oh, and the views north to the Empire State Building and beyond ain’t half bad either.
Day 4: Markets, museums and more
Morning: Chelsea Market
Morning: Chelsea Market
Treat yourself to a lazy, belt-loosening brunch in New York’s finest foodie market. Housed in the former National Biscuit Company factory building (home of the Oreo cookie), Chelsea Market is a gourmand’s dream ticket. Go hungry and allow yourself to become intoxicated by the heady scents of freshly baked bread, frying calamari and pungent farm cheeses. Then choose your adventure at one of multiple A-game brunch spots. We’re talking steak and eggs at Friedman’s, Creamline’s honey butter chicken sandwich, and thigh-sized breakfast burritos from the El Donkey Burrito Cart at the legendary Los Tacos No.1. Heck, you’re here for five days, so more than one visit is surely on the cards!
Afternoon: the High Line and Intrepid Museum
Walk it all off (or some of it anyway) on a hike along the High Line to Hudson Yards. Once a freight railway line, this elevated urban greenway is a pleasant saunter of just under a mile-and-a-half, taking in cute little gardens, wildflower meadows and splendid views of the Hudson and Midtown Manhattan along the way.
On arrival in Hell’s Kitchen, make for Pier 86, where you’d be hard-pressed to miss the Intrepid Museum, a hulking great aircraft carrier that’s permanently moored here on the Hudson. Climb aboard to ogle wartime fighter jets and stealth bombers and to get up close and personal with the Space Shuttle Enterprise. You can also scuttle through the corridors and mess rooms of a Cold War submarine and snatch a selfie with a gleaming British Airways Concorde. Inspirational stuff.
Evening: Edge and Vessel
Backtrack to Hudson Yards where dinner opportunities abound and not one but two more observation platforms await. Jutting out of the 30 Hudson Yards skyscraper, some 100 stories up, Edge is the highest outdoor viewing platform in the Western Hemisphere and comes with angled glass walls and a see-through floor for maximum adrenaline surges. Or, for something a little different, try the comparatively diminutive Vessel. This climbable work of art is an eyecatching copper honeycomb with around 2,500 steps and 80 platforms from which to catch a variety of different NYC perspectives.
Day 5: Central Park and the Yankees
Morning: American Museum of Natural History
Morning: American Museum of Natural History
Told ya you’d be back in Central Park, didn’t we? And here you are, way out on its western edge, ready to spend your last New York morning in the magical world of discovery that is the American Museum of Natural History. Step through that imposing neoclassical entrance and straight into the kind of archeological treasure trove that would make Indiana Jones himself gasp with wonder. T-Rex fossils, pre-historic meteorites, giants of the ocean and beautiful animal dioramas: you’ll find it all here. Pause at the café for a quick bite to eat before continuing your second Central Park adventure.
Afternoon: Central Park sights
The AMNH’s location a little under halfway up the west side means you’re well-placed for several of Central Park’s big-ticket attractions. Mosey over to the boathouse and rent a rowboat to explore the Lake’s placid waters – eyes peeled for resident turtles and ducks as you drift beneath the beautiful Bow Bridge and its ever-present gaggle of selfie-takers. Or go for a ramble in the Ramble, Central Park’s wild woodland wilderness. People-watching on Bethesda Terrace is practically a rite of passage and it would simply be rude not to take a ride on the old-school painted carousel at the southern end of Sheep Meadow while you’re here.

Evening: Yankee Stadium
And so we’ve reached the end of your five-day New York extravaganza. Might as well go out with a bang, right? Right! Off we go then to the Yankee Stadium up in the Bronx for that most American of sporting pastimes: the floodlit baseball game. The stadium is absolutely huge and you can bet the atmosphere on game night will be electric: foam fingers in the air, the smell of hot dogs, wings and root beer carried on the breeze. Just settle into your grandstand level seats and enjoy the show…
