New York City - Highlights
A view from the top of one of New York's famous buildings brings to mind Kurt Vonnegut's nickname for the city: Skyscraper National Park. But of course the Big Apple is infinitely more than its skyscrapers.
Don't miss the MoMA art gallery or the Statue of Liberty and its observation deck. The Top of the Rock Observation Deck at the Rockefeller Center rivals the Empire State Building for views. The glorious Art Deco skyscrapers of the Empire State Building and the Chrysler Building are monuments to New York's heyday as the world's undisputed greatest city. CNN Studios offer a 45-minute guided tour of the news-making process at the Time Warner Center at Columbus Circle. The former site of the World Trade Center also continues to draw the crowds.
New York can boggle the mind. If you're feeling overwhelmed, consult the tourist board for information on organised walking tours. If you're planning to visit several museums, it's worth investing in a CityPass for reductions on museum entrance and skipping the queues.
