About New York

New York concentre gratte-ciel, musées célèbres, théâtres de Broadway et des dizaines de quartiers distincts dans cinq arrondissements actifs jour et nuit.

Manhattan est la première étape classique. Times Square scintille au-dessus du quartier des théâtres, Central Park s'étire sur des dizaines de rues entre l'Upper East Side et l'Upper West Side, et l'Empire State Building, le Chrysler Building et le Rockefeller Center dessinent la silhouette de Midtown. Plus au sud, le mémorial du 11-Septembre, Wall Street et le pont de Brooklyn sont proches les uns des autres, et des bateaux passent devant la statue de la Liberté pour gagner Ellis Island.

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