  1. Bethesda Fountain serve as the architectural heart of the park, offering a grand setting that has appeared in countless films. The bi-level terrace features a stunning arcade with over 15,000 handmade Minton tiles. The "Angel of the Waters" fountain commemorates the 1842 opening of the Croton Aqueduct, which brought fresh water to NYC. It is a prime location for photography and viewing the lake.

  2. Strawberry Fields is a 2.5-acre landscaped section dedicated as a living memorial to the legendary musician John Lennon. Features the iconic "Imagine" mosaic, a frequent gathering spot for fans and tourists. Designated as a "quiet zone," it offers a reflective atmosphere amidst the bustling park. Located near the Dakota building where Lennon once lived.

  3. Belvedere Castle sits atop Vista Rock, the second-highest natural point in the park, providing some of the best panoramic views in Manhattan. A 19th-century "folly" built in a mix of Gothic and Romanesque styles. Offers sweeping views of the Great Lawn and Turtle Pond. Currently serves as a visitor center and a National Weather Service station.

Often called the "Great Promenade," it was designed for Victorian-era residents to see and be seen. Features the "Literary Walk," which includes statues of famous writers like William Shakespeare and Robert Burns. A favorite filming location for its grand, cathedral-like tree canopy.

About New York City

New York City packs skyscrapers, famous museums, Broadway theatres and dozens of distinct neighbourhoods into five boroughs that hum day and night.

Manhattan is the classic first stop. Times Square glows above the theatre district, Central Park stretches for blocks between the Upper East and Upper West Sides, and the Empire State Building, the Chrysler Building and Rockefeller Center define the midtown skyline. Downtown, the 9/11 Memorial, Wall Street and the Brooklyn Bridge sit close together, and boats run out past the Statue of Liberty to Ellis Island.

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