New York, the City of Light

- Review from Tripadvisor
4.00New York is truly an amazing place to visit, with many tourist attractions such as museums, theatres, viewpoints, squares, parks and much more, however, it takes time and money to visit most places, because in many attractions, it takes a good part of the day or even the whole day. And you have to be careful also, in the weather forecast, because in winter it comes to very low temperatures, coming to snow and in summer, it warms a lot. The price of the entrance tickets to the attractions vary, there are places that the entrance is free, but in most places has to pay the tickets. On average, the ticket to most places is around $40, but depending on the attraction and the chosen place it can get much more expensive. One advantage for those who don't want to spend much is that New York's main sights are free, such as: Times Square, Memorial of 11/09, Brooklyn Bridge and Central Park and despite getting away from each other the locomotion and easy between them by Metro and Bus. What is expensive in New York is accommodation, if you prefer to stay in Manhattan, to stay close to the attractions, prepare your pocket, in the region you charge an additional 14.75% of the value of the daily state tax, plus $3.50 of municipal tax and some hotels charge an extra fee called Resort Fee intended to pay for the services available in the hotel for the guests such as gym, pool, internet, etc. They say that optional, but they will charge you.

5.00If you could pick any night, we picked a good one. It was busy but the views were incredible. They have a good system for getting people up and down the 100 stories. Hudson Yards is also worth the trip. Lots to see even if you don’t want to shop.
