What to see in New York in 7 days: Lower Manhattan
New York is a fast-paced city with a multicultural environment that blends perfectly. It's an expensive city, but especially New York is a fair city. It is perhaps the gateway to the United States, where millions of people entered not many years ago looking for a better future.
Brooklyn Bridge
Opened on May 24, 1883, after 14 years of construction, this bridge has the record of being the first suspension bridge on the planet. It connects the
Brooklyn with Manhattan and a walk through it is more than essential to see New York from perspective.
Ideally, it would be recommended to cross from Brooklyn to Manhattan,
taking care not to collide with the countless people passing along its 1,834 meter length. The bridge has six lanes for cars and at the top one for bicycles and another for pedestrians. There's another lane for tourists with their selfie sticks, because avoiding them in this city is an Olympic challenge. You just need to have an innate ability and flexibility to dodge all the selfie sticks and not end up in the Hudson (a beautiful river, by the way).
World Trade Center
We continued through Lower Manhattan, leaving City Hall behind, to
get to the World Trade Center. The September 11 victims' museum, which stores objects that fell from the sky and has a lugubrious air, is impressive.
It is a hollow space with waterfalls in the exact spaces where the Towers were
Twins. Reading the names of the dead on the stones gives you chills and the silence that is enjoyed cannot be broken by the murmur of the people and the water. As a joke, New York City places a flower in the name of each
person who would turn years old that day. The “9/11 Memorial” is free, but access to the museum is paid per person. Lifting our head (this is done a lot in New York) we can see the One World Trade Center antenna, 541 meters high, opened on November 3, 2014.
It is termed as the tallest skyscraper in America. Furthermore, there is
Next to Downtown Fulton, NY's most famous local burger chain, Shake Shack.
Wall Street
Going down the WTC Wall St. intersection, it's worth stopping to admire the
people coming and going with their suits and briefcases, agonizing every second to make one of two decisions: buy or sell.
Battery Park – Statue of Liberty
Anyway, on your way you arrive at Battery Park to take the Ferry to Staten Island. Free of charge, and thirty minutes apart, the barges leave to cross the Hudson and see the famous Statue of Liberty up close. Closely, but by the way, although with enough time to go back and forth to contemplate its beauty.
You should also check if it's worth getting the NY Pass, to find
a better price on blip and with the NY pass what can you do, after
many years of closure, is to climb to the top of the lady's crown and take photos of her feet. The Statue of Liberty is probably the most important monument to see in New York, and if you have 7 days, the minimum is to spend an entire morning there.
Ellis Island – NY Skyline
Along with this same ticket, it is possible to get close to Ellis Island, a place
where immigrants first arrived and where they were given little more than a new “Americanized” surname. In fact, in the “harbor” of Staten Island, if you climb to the top, there is a vantage point for impressive photos of the entire New York Skyline, but it is worth it because you have a different perspective of the Brooklyn Bridge. There are also very nice benches with pigeons.
Times Square, the Empire State Building
Lights, lights, lights and lights. Plasma, advertisements, sparkles and flashes. When was it
saying that New York is the city that never sleeps, it was thought of Times Square.
Located on the block between Sixth and Eighth Avenue (both deserve letters
capital letters), this place is the center of events and the most iconic places to see in New York.
There you have to go if you want to get tickets to Broadway.
you can get tickets to see the most spectacular features of the
planet. Essential shows in New York.
Further along the way, at 253 W 42nd St, is the Five Guys burger, so coveted by Obama.
Top of the Rocks
To watch NY from the sky, it is recommended from a closer perspective.
“photographable” views from Top of the Rocks (Rockefeller Center). From there, you not only see the Empire State, but the lungs of Manhattan, Central Park. You
you can access the top of NY, from where the perspective is more than enviable.
It is recommended to get tickets in advance and select a time that allows you to see the city during the day and at dusk. Seeing the sun sinking into the horizon from the top of Top of the Rocks is an experience you have to experience at least once in your life. Estimate an hour of queuing (between elevator and elevator) and another long hour to reach the viewpoint. Whenever you think you're done, you find other stairs to climb a little higher.
Central Park
After visiting the Natural History Museum you can see the Dakota Building, where John Lennon was killed on December 8, 1980. Directly opposite, entering from the Central Park side, is Strawberry Fields, and the Imagine memorial square, where there is always a musician playing Beatles songs.
Central Park is amazing, it's incredibly big, so dedicate half a day to it. It has hidden corners, like the statue of Alice in the Land of
Wonders or even one of HC Andersen. On the other side is the Met, with
“Picassos”, “Velazquezes” and even a piece of the Valladolid Cathedral grille.
