Itinerary
Bethesda Fountain – Marvel at the heart of Central Park, where the Angel of the Waters watches over a stunning terrace and lake view. It’s one of the most photographed spots in New York. Bethesda Fountain & Terrace Fun Fact: The Angel of the Waters statue was unveiled in 1873 and symbolizes healing — it was the first public art commission in NYC to feature a woman. What Travelers Love: Taking stunning photos under the grand arches, listening to musicians playing under the terrace, and enjoying the lake view where rowboats gently glide by. Many even reenact movie scenes filmed here (Gossip Girl, Avengers, John Wick).
Friends Fountain – Stop by the exact fountain that inspired the opening scene of the famous Friends TV show — a must-see for fans and a fun photo moment. Friends Fountain Fun Fact: While the actual Friends intro was filmed on a soundstage, this Central Park fountain inspired the design — and fans still visit to recreate the splashy intro dance! What Travelers Love: Taking fun group photos, clapping to the theme song ("I'll be there for you!"), and pretending to be part of the cast. It’s a great icebreaker and always gets laughs.
Home Alone 2 Bridge – Cross the charming stone bridge where Kevin McCallister stood in Home Alone 2: Lost in New York. It’s nostalgic and beautifully scenic. Home Alone 2 Bridge (Gapstow Bridge) Fun Fact: This beautiful stone bridge is where Kevin meets the “Pigeon Lady” in Home Alone 2: Lost in New York. It's one of the most recognizable scenes in the movie. What Travelers Love: Acting out their favorite scenes, tossing pebbles in the stream, taking romantic or family photos with the Manhattan skyline in the background — especially stunning in fall and winter.
Strawberry Fields / John Lennon Memorial – End on a peaceful note at this quiet garden tribute to the legendary Beatle. Visitors from around the world come here to honor his legacy and reflect. Strawberry Fields / John Lennon Memorial Fun Fact: This peaceful memorial is named after The Beatles’ song “Strawberry Fields Forever” and is located just across the street from The Dakota, where John Lennon lived. What Travelers Love: Sitting quietly on the mosaic that reads “Imagine,” listening to street musicians playing Beatles songs, and leaving flowers or notes. It’s a deeply moving and reflective part of the park — perfect for a calm moment.

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.
