About Nueva York

Nueva York reúne rascacielos, museos famosos, teatros de Broadway y decenas de barrios distintos en cinco distritos que laten de día y de noche.

Manhattan es la primera parada clásica. Times Square brilla sobre el barrio de los teatros, Central Park se extiende varias manzanas entre el Upper East Side y el Upper West Side, y el Empire State Building, el Chrysler Building y el Rockefeller Center definen el perfil de Midtown. En el sur, el Memorial del 11-S, Wall Street y el puente de Brooklyn están muy cerca unos de otros, y los barcos pasan junto a la Estatua de la Libertad hasta Ellis Island.

Top-ranked sights in Nueva York: Statue of Liberty, Central Park, National September 11 Memorial & Museum.
