New York - the city that never sleeps
New York City, also known as “The Big Apple”, is one of the most exciting and diverse cities in the world. With its sights, cultural highlights and incomparable atmosphere, it attracts millions of visitors every year. No matter how often you visit the city, there is always something new to discover.
New York is a city full of world-famous attractions that should not be missed on any trip. The Statue of Liberty, the symbol of freedom, is a must-see for every visitor. Take the ferry directly to the statue and Ellis Island or book a tour around the island.
Times Square is the beating heart of Manhattan. With its huge neon signs and lively atmosphere, it is a particularly impressive experience in the evening. Then the square is full and hectic, so if you prefer it a little quieter, you should go there in the morning.
The city offers visitors numerous different viewing platforms. From the Edge (where you stand on a glass floor) to SUMMIT One Vanderbilt (full of mirrors and experiences) to the most famous place, the Empire State Building, you can enjoy a breathtaking view over the city.
The city’s bridges also offer excellent views. A walk across the Brooklyn Bridge offers views of the Manhattan skyline, the East River and Brooklyn.
The metropolis also offers green places that invite you to relax. Central Park is the green lung of the city. Whether it’s a walk, a bike ride or a picnic – the park is a place to relax.
New York is not only a city of sights, but also a place where you can enjoy life to the full. From the luxury stores of Fifth Avenue to the trendy boutiques of SoHo, the city is a shopper’s paradise. A variety of culinary experiences, such as a classic bagel, pizza, cheesecake or burger, are not to be missed.
The city is a cultural center with world-famous museums such as the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) and the American Museum of Natural History. A visit to Broadway for one of the spectacular shows is also an absolute highlight.
Places of interest in New York
There are several ways to get to Roosevelt Island. I was traveling by public transport and had to decide: the underground approach by metro or the ride with the Roosevelt Island Tramway, an aerial cable car over the East River.
A gray, rainy morning in Manhattan. The fog hangs low over the Hudson River as I board the ferry. It feels almost magical, almost like October 28, 1886, the day the Statue of Liberty was ceremoniously dedicated in New York. Back then, it was pouring rain too, but the excitement was boundless.
There are places in this world that seemingly make time stand still. They are places so emotionally charged that writing about them is difficult for me. Ground Zero in New York is exactly such a place that touched me deeply on a personal level.
It is easy to miss a piece of greenery in the middle of the urban canyons of Midtown Manhattan. Sometimes, as we strolled along between the skyscrapers, I longed for it. But this thought vanished the moment I stepped into Bryant Park.
In New York's "war of the observation decks," several skyscrapers compete for the favor of tourists. Today, choosing the right platform is less about finding the "best view" and more about what suits your personal travel style. The Empire State Building is the undisputed classic - a historical legend that showcases New York from the…
Right in the middle of Manhattan, where streets and avenues weave a geometric web of concrete, lies the 341-hectare Central Park. It is the lungs of the city, its sanctuary, and a living monument to one of the boldest urban planning visions of the 19th century.
A gigantic, shimmering honeycomb of steel and concrete stands in the middle of Manhattan. The Vessel in Hudson Yards is a structure that polarizes. But since its reopening with new safety measures and a $10 admission fee, the question for every New York visitor is: Is it worth climbing what is arguably the most famous…
Strolling through the urban canyons of Manhattan, surrounded by wild gardens and modern art – that's the High Line. What was once a rusty railway bridge is now an absolute highlight for tourists and locals alike.
An experience awaited me at SUMMIT One Vanderbilt that I won't soon forget! The multi-sensory experience combines art, architecture, thrills and breathtaking views of New York City.
A visit to Grand Central Terminal is a discovery tour for anyone who loves the unusual and fascinating. Few places embody the energy, ambition and architectural splendor of this city like Grand Central Terminal.
