Sport, détente, pique-nique, spectacles, évènements culturels, barque, poney, patin sur glace, vélo, la liste des activités à faire est longue. Pas étonnant, le parc de 300 hectares héberge plans d'eaux, pelouses, bosquets... Le premier zoo du pays y a aussi élu domicile !

Chrysler Building

#4 Chrysler Building +17 4

Le Chrysler Building est un célèbre gratte-ciel de Manhattan. Il a été construit en 1930 et mesure 319 mètres de hauteur, ce qui en faisait à l'époque le plus haut bâtiment du monde. Sa façade Art Déco est ornée de motifs en acier, d'ornements en argent et de motifs en émail. Il est particulièrement connu pour son impressionnant sommet en forme de flèche en acier inoxydable qui lui donne une apparence distinctive. Bien qu'il ne soit plus le plus haut bâtiment de New-York, il reste l'un des symboles les plus emblématiques de la ville.

Times Square

#5 Times Square +14 4

Située dans l’arrondissement de Manhattan, à New York, Times square, place la plus animée de la Grosse Pomme, bénéficie d’une renommée internationale qui attire chaque jour plus de 350000 visiteurs. Traversée parBroadway et son Theater District, elle est le temple du shopping et du music-hall.Cette immense zone piétonne, au milieu des automobiles et de la jungle urbaine, grouille de jour comme de nuit. Avec ses immenses gratte-ciels et ses grands magasins aux enseignes lumineuses géantes, Times Square, emblème...
Statue of Liberty

#6 Statue of Liberty +11 3.4

Symbole mondial de liberté offert par la France en 1886, la Statue de la Liberté domine le port de New York du haut de ses 93 mètres. Le ferry dessert Liberty Island et Ellis Island, avec accès au musée gratuit, à la terrasse du piédestal et, pour les plus prévoyants, à la couronne. Prévoyez une demi-journée pour profiter pleinement des deux îles.

Rockefeller Center

#7 Rockefeller Center +9 4.5

Complexe Art déco de 19 bâtiments construit dans les années 1930 en plein Midtown Manhattan. Le Rockefeller Center réunit l'observatoire Top of the Rock à 260 mètres de hauteur, une centaine d'œuvres d'art public, la célèbre patinoire hivernale, les studios NBC et Radio City Music Hall. La promenade à travers les halls décorés de fresques et de mosaïques est gratuite.

High Line

#8 High Line +9 5

La High Line de new York est née dans les années 30s sous la forme d’une ligne de train aérienne. Cette ligne servait au fret du quartier de Meatpacking. Avec le recours systématique au transport par camion, cette ligne fut abandonnée et faillit être détruite. Heureusement, une association se créa pour sauver le lieu et le réhabiliter. C’est à la fois un lieu de manifestations, un magnifique toit vert écologique, une promenade familiale avec une vue superbe et une véritable réussite communautaire.

Empire State Building

#9 Empire State Building +8 4.3

Du haut de ses 443 mètres, l'Empire State Building offre le panorama le plus célèbre de New York depuis ses deux observatoires aux 86e et 102e étages. Construit en 410 jours en pleine Grande Dépression, ce chef-d'œuvre Art déco abrite aussi un musée immersif de 12 galeries retraçant son histoire spectaculaire. Cet immeuble fut le plus haut du mone durant 36 ans.

Belvedere Castle

#10 Belvedere Castle +8 4

Lorsque vous visitez New-York, il y a peu de chances que vous ayez prévu de visiter un château écossais néogothique, surplombant un étang ou séjournent des tortues. Pourtant, c'est tout à fait possible. En plein cœur de Central Park, vous trouverez le château du Belvédère, construit dans la seconde moitié du XIXème siècle. Aujourd'hui, il offre un point de vue incroyable sur le parc, mais il est aussi une station météo et un observatoire pour les passionnés d'oiseaux. Un lieu clairement atypique et magnifique, si improbable dans une métropole moderne, qu'il serait dommage de la manquer.

9/11 Memorial

#11 9/11 Memorial +7 5

Le 9/11 Memorial & Museum rend hommage aux près de 3 000 victimes des attentats de 2001 et de 1993 sur le site même du World Trade Center. Deux immenses bassins à ciel ouvert, un musée souterrain riche en artefacts et témoignages, et une plaza arborée composent ce lieu de mémoire majeur du sud de Manhattan. Le mémorial extérieur est gratuit et ouvert tous les jours.

Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum

#12 Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum +6 4

L’Upper East Side de New York abrite un des bâtiments les plus étranges de la ville. Déjà à son inauguration en 1959, le musée Solomon R. Guggenheim a fait grincer quelques dents. Sa conception par Franck Lloyd Wright aura pourtant pris 16 ans et pas loin de 700 croquis. L’immense collection de la fondation Guggenheim y est dévoilée au gré des différentes expositions éphémères. Où pouvez-vous admirer un Pollock, un Cézanne, un Van Gogh, un Kandinsky et un Chagall dans la même promenade ? Un lieu d’art et de culture très différent des musées habituels.

American Museum of Natural History

#13 American Museum of Natural History +5 5

L'American Museum of Natural History, situé à l'Upper West Side de Manhattan, est l'un des plus grands musées de New York. Fondé en 1869, il abrite des trésors comme des squelettes de dinosaures, une baleine bleue suspendue et le plus gros saphir au monde. Réparti sur 4 étages thématiques, il explore la terre, l'espace, la faune, et les cultures humaines. Les visiteurs peuvent télécharger un plan et l'application Explorer pour faciliter leur visite. Il est même possible d'y passer la nuit, avec animations et petits déjeuners inclus.

Central Park Zoo

#14 Central Park Zoo +5 4.5

Le zoo de Central Park occupe 2,6 hectares au sud-est du parc, entre gratte-ciel et allées boisées. Trois zones climatiques abritent environ 150 espèces, des otaries de Californie aux léopards des neiges. Le billet inclut la ferme pédagogique Tisch Children's Zoo et le cinéma 4D. Comptez 1h30 à 2h de visite, idéales pour compléter une journée à Manhattan en famille.

South Street Seaport

#15 South Street Seaport +3 5

Situé à deux pas de Wall Street et de Battery Park, le quartier de South Street Seaport est une destination prisée, par les touristes comme les locaux. L’histoire de ce port commence dès le 18ème siècle avec le transport maritime. Mais, quand celui-ci va décliner au 20ème siècle, le South Street Seaport sera menacé de destruction. Sauvé par une association de quartier et des promoteurs new-yorkais, c’est aujourd’hui une zone piétonne charmante, bordée de bars, restaurants et terrasses accueillantes, posées à l’ombre de bâtiments dont certains sont centenaires.

Union Square

#16 Union Square +2 4

Après la manifestation patriotique de 1861 et les manifestations ouvrières des années 30, la place d'Union Square s’est un peu assagie. Réaménagée en 1872, elle a été pensée pour le plaisir des habitants, mais aussi comme un lieu de rencontre. Très bien desservie, bordée par 2 des plus prestigieuses artères de la ville, tous les chemins mènent à Union Square. Que ce soit pour son marché bio ou son incroyable marché de Noël, si vous passez dans la grosse pomme, ne ratez pas ce lieu iconique.

Rose Center for Earth and Space

#17 Rose Center for Earth and Space +2 4

Dans l'Upper West Side de New York, vous pouvez découvrir l'American Museum of Natural History. En son sein se cache le planetarium Hayden, inauguré en 1935, et le Rose Center for Earth and Space qui l'accompagne. Avec des projections commentées par des noms comme Tom Hanks ou Liam Neeson, c'est un lieu de découverte et d'émerveillement. Du planétarium en 3D, jusqu'aux 30 000m² d'expositions, l'histoire de l'univers se dévoile devant les yeux des visiteurs curieux. Un passage obligé pour les amoureux des étoiles.

Neue Galerie New York

#18 Neue Galerie New York +2 4

Au cœur de l'île de Manhattan, dans l'Upper Est Side, se trouve la si particulière Neue Galerie. Idéalement placée entre le musée Salomon Guggenheim et le Metropolitan Museum of art, cette bâtisse de 1914 est unanimement considérée comme une des plus belles de la 5ème Avenue.

Fruit de la passion du milliardaire Ronald Lauder et du Galeriste Serge Sabarsky, elle regroupe une collection inédite des œuvres Allemandes et Autrichiennes, de 1890 à 1940. Plus de 40 artistes réunis dans un lieu d'exception.

Battery Park

#19 Battery Park +2 3

Battery Park, situé au sud de Manhattan, a toujours fait partie des lieux importants de New York. Les Hollandais, Anglais et Américains qui s’y sont succédé, s’intéressaient au lieu pour sa position stratégique, les new-yorkais contemporains l’apprécient pour ses grandes pelouses, où l’on pique-nique en été, ou les balades au bord de l’eau. Vous trouverez aussi des lieux chargés de sens, comme le hope garden, mémorial aux morts du SIDA ou The Sphere, une sculpture qui se trouvait sur la place du World Trade Center et qui sert de mémorial. C’est un lieu agréable de la vie de la new-yorkaise.

Flatiron Building

#20 Flatiron Building -1 2.5

Le Flatiron building à vu le jour en 1902 sous le nom de Fuller Building. C’est un immeuble de bureau, coincé entre la 5th Avenue et Broadway. Son style si particulier l’a fait entrer aux monuments historiques américains en 1989. Son surnom de "Fer à repasser" lui vient de sa forme si atypique en triangle, qui ne peut que surprendre au premier abord. Jusqu'en 2020, c'était un bâtiment occupé par des bureaux d'entreprises. Fermé pour rénovation, il devrait bientôt être converti en immeuble résidentiel. On ne peut malheureusement pas visiter l'intérieur, mais on ne peut s’empêcher de scruter avec étonnement sa silhouette si singulière.

Map of must-see attractions in New York

New York, the city that changes you

It is 6 AM in Manhattan. The first rays of sun hit the glass facades of Midtown while the smell of fresh coffee wafts out of delis that are just waking up. A jogger cuts through Central Park under the indifferent gaze of the squirrels. A few hours later, this same park will be swarmed by millions of hurried footsteps, wide-eyed tourists, and New Yorkers who don't have the time to look up at the skyscrapers.

This city never sleeps, certainly, but it also never leaves you indifferent.

Is New York right for you?

Let's be honest: New York can be exhausting. Eight million people packed onto a few islands, constant noise, dizzying prices, and a frantic energy that never quits. If you are looking for quiet and contemplation, you won't find it here. But if the idea of crossing paths with twenty different nationalities on a single block excites you, if you enjoy walking for miles without realizing it, and if art, gastronomy, and architecture make you tick, then go for it.

The city is a perfect fit for curious travelers, urban culture lovers, and those who want an intense experience. However, it may be disappointing for families with young children or travelers with limited mobility, as infrastructure is not always well-adapted. The subway, while functional 24/7, is not a model of accessibility.

Regarding safety, the fears inherited from the 80s are largely a thing of the past. Today, the city is one of the safest major American metropolises.

Budget: prepare to grit your teeth

New York is among the most expensive destinations in the world. Expect to pay between $165 and $330 per day per person for a comfortable stay, including lodging, meals, and activities. Hotels in Manhattan rarely start below $220 per night, museums cost about $25 to $40 for admission, and a simple lunch in a decent restaurant will easily run you $25. To keep costs down, prioritize Brooklyn or Queens for lodging, eat at food trucks and delis, and invest in a New York CityPASS or an Explorer Pass.

Manhattan: the heart beating at full speed

It is impossible to visit New York without trekking through Manhattan. The island holds most of the iconic monuments and offers a density of experiences that is unique in the world. Start at Times Square, not for its charm, but for the shock value. Those giant screens, the constant crowd, the deafening noise: this is ground zero for New York tourism. Go in the evening for the light display, then escape to more breathable neighborhoods.

A few streets away, Rockefeller Center offers a different atmosphere entirely. The Top of the Rock observation deck remains my favorite vantage point: the view encompasses both Central Park to the north and the Empire State Building to the south. For museums, the Metropolitan Museum of Art could keep you occupied for an entire week. The MoMA, more compact, allows for a quality visit in just a few hours.

Friendly advice: book your tickets online several days in advance. Wait times can exceed two hours for observation decks during peak hours. On weekdays, aim for 8 AM or after 6 PM.

Brooklyn: the other New York

Walking across the Brooklyn Bridge remains one of the high points of any trip to New York. Take your time and admire the Manhattan skyline as it slowly pulls away. Once on the other side, the DUMBO neighborhood welcomes you with its warehouses converted into galleries and its legendary photo-ready views of the Manhattan Bridge.

Further south, Williamsburg embodies the creative and trendy side of Brooklyn. Graffiti-covered walls sit alongside artisanal cafes and vintage thrift shops. On weekends, the Smorgasburg market brings together a hundred street food stands by the water. Park Slope, a more residential area, wins people over with its immaculate brownstones and proximity to Prospect Park, designed by the same architects as Central Park but significantly less crowded.

Queens and the Bronx: off the beaten path

Queens represents the New York melting pot in all its glory. In Astoria, Greek taverns sit next to Egyptian restaurants. Flushing houses one of the most authentic Chinatowns in the country, far from the tourist traps of Manhattan. On Saturday nights between April and October, the Queens Night Market offers specialties from all over the world at reasonable prices.

The Bronx, long ignored by tourists, is actually worth the detour. The New York Botanical Garden offers 250 acres of spectacular gardens, and the Bronx Zoo remains one of the largest urban zoos in the world. For hip-hop fans, a tour of the South Bronx reveals the birthplace of this culture, which emerged in the 70s.

Friendly advice: the NYC Ferry connects Manhattan, Brooklyn, and Queens for only $4 per trip. It is the most pleasant and cost-effective way to see the skyline while getting around.

Where to eat and drink in New York?

The New York culinary scene is dizzying. The bagel remains a local religion: establishments like Ess-a-Bagel in Midtown or Russ & Daughters in the Lower East Side have served classics topped with smoked salmon and cream cheese for decades. For pizza, L'Industrie in Williamsburg and Joe's Pizza in Greenwich Village are local favorites. The pastrami sandwich at Katz's Delicatessen justifies a visit to the Lower East Side all on its own, despite the long lines.

As for drinks, rooftops offer spectacular views if you are willing to pay the price. For a more local vibe, the speakeasies hidden behind anonymous doors carry on the Prohibition tradition. The East Village and West Village neighborhoods are packed with cocktail bars and natural wine cellars.

Where to stay in New York and the surrounding areas?

Midtown remains the most convenient choice for a first trip, at a premium price. The Lower East Side and Lower Manhattan offer a good compromise between price and accessibility. For more reasonable rates, look toward Long Island City in Queens or Williamsburg in Brooklyn, both just a few subway stops from Manhattan. Avoid hotels around Times Square: prices are inflated and the environment is noisy. Hostels like HI NYC Hostel offer clean dorms for budget travelers.

How to get to and around New York?

From abroad, daily direct flights connect major hubs to JFK or Newark. JFK serves Manhattan better via the AirTrain combined with the subway, while Newark sometimes offers better airfare rates. Expect to pay between $15 and $25 to reach Manhattan via public transit, compared to $60 to $90 by taxi.

Once in the city, the subway remains the most efficient way to travel. A single ride costs $2.90, but the OMNY system caps your spending at $34 over seven days if you pay with the same contactless bank card. Yellow and green cabs remain affordable for short distances, especially if you are traveling in a group. Forget about renting a car: parking is a nightmare and costs a fortune.

Friendly advice: ask for a subway map at the booth. Lines are marked by letters or numbers, and direction is read as "Uptown" for north or "Downtown" for south. A green light at a station entrance signals that it is monitored 24/7.

When to go?

Autumn and spring offer ideal conditions: mild temperatures, beautiful light, and reasonable crowds. Summer can be stifling, with temperatures exceeding 95°F and oppressive humidity. Winter, while freezing, offers a magical atmosphere for the holidays, with the decorations at Rockefeller Center and the window displays on Fifth Avenue. January and February attract fewer tourists and offer lower lodging rates, provided you can handle the cold.

100% incredible

I visited New York quite late in my travels, and I quickly understood why this city is so loved. Not only are there dozens of different vibes on the island of Manhattan and around it: Times Square and its screens, Broadway and its musicals, 5th Avenue and its shops, Central Park, the observatories, the World Trade Center and the Stock Exchange, the Chinese and Italian neighborhoods, Greenwich Village, Brooklyn, Harlem, etc.
But above all, everything is very easy to access on foot or by public transit. Plus, contrary to what people think, it is not that expensive because there are not many expenses aside from restaurants.

Another planet

New York life moves at 100 mph and never stops (ah, those subway lines that run all night!). It is truly an experience apart, a different way of life. A must see!
But I admit I was a bit disappointed by some things. In no particular order: the nightlife atmosphere is rarely dance-focused and a bit stuffy, the overall architecture is not actually that spectacular, and the people are pretty distant...

The best the USA has to offer

When you think about the United States, two contradictory stereotypes often come to mind: the narrow-minded guy who spends his time eating in front of the TV and knows nothing about the world, or on the contrary, the hyperactive, dynamic, curious, go-getter, and enterprising person. Well, it is very simplistic to split 300 million Americans like that. Just keep in mind that New York concentrates the best sides of the USA :)

THE city that never stops moving

To me, this is the epicenter of cultural buzz in the world. On every street corner, you find creators, passersby with wild looks, impromptu music and dance performances, film sets, and a huge selection of museums and theaters (how many artists dream of performing on Broadway!). In short, a spirit of creativity and entrepreneurship is everywhere, and that is not necessarily true in the rest of the United States.

Oppressive architecture

Between the swarm of pedestrians, the cars, and the buildings that block the sun, I felt overwhelmed. It is a shame, because there is quite a lot to see, and as modern as New York may seem, its history is already rich.

A trip to New York? There is so much more to see

Don't just hang out in Times Square. For that reason, don't stay at Rockefeller Center either. These places are iconic, of course. Go see them, take some pictures in front of the ice rink or the giant signs with their flashing lights, then get out of there. New York City has so much more to offer and, with a City Pass, you can even save money while seeing all the culture, history, and famous sites.

American Dream

There is so much to do: Central Park, Ground Zero (the former Twin Towers), Brooklyn and the Brooklyn Bridge (once you are on the other side on the promenade, there is a very beautiful view of Manhattan), walking along 5th Avenue, in Chelsea, the High Line (a walk on an old elevated subway platform), Little Italy and Chinatown (markets), the Empire State Building (nice view, also check out the Rockefeller Center which has a panoramic roof as well), the very touristy Times Square, Wall Street (the bull statue), ... For museums, there is the MoMA and the Guggenheim (near Central Park) as well as many art galleries. Finally, to get a beautiful view of the south of the island (including the new One World Trade Center tower among others), there is a free boat to Staten Island that leaves from the port!

New York, the city that never sleeps

I traveled to New York thinking I wouldn't like this city. I was surprised to discover a city that is swarming with people but still feels breathable. Central Park in the heart of the skyscrapers is like a bubble of air, a surprising escape. And New York never sleeps, day or night, this city is alive. It is a reflection of the world.

New York to (re)discover

My memories of New York are starting to get old. They go back to my college days when the Twin Towers were still standing...
To be honest, my feelings back then were mixed. I was just as fascinated by the sheer scale of the city as I was bothered by how suffocating it felt, where you could barely see the sky (especially around Times Square). In a word, looking back, I owe this city a second chance (or maybe it is the other way around!)

Amazing city

Staying there means wanting to go back, work there, and live there :)

Never a dull moment

2 trips for a total of about 3 weeks. Every day, every night, I always had something to see, do, discover, visit... In short, not a single second of boredom
