Visit New York, the largest city in the USA

If you are traveling to the United States to visit New York City, it is imperative that you properly prepare your stay. The city is so big and rich in various activities that it is very easy to get lost. On this page you will find some tips on how to get ready for the adventure. Don’t forget your ESTA authorization.

Prepare your departure for New York

Before making any plans, it is necessary to obtain a travel authorization because it is not as easy to travel to the United States as to another country of the European Union. You must therefore apply for a visa or ESTA. In general, we recommend that you obtain the second authorization because it is much less expensive and can be obtained as quickly and easily.

Once these USA formalities are completed, let’s get to the heart of the matter by listing some places not to be missed:

• The Statue of Liberty, an obvious choice. Located on Liberty Island south of Manhattan, it is one of the most famous monuments in New York. It was built and offered by France as a sign of friendship between the two countries.
• Central Park is the largest green space in the city, covering 341 hectares. Like a true New Yorker, don’t hesitate to go there for a little picnic or to admire the many street performers who put on a show.
• After the terrible attacks of September 11, 2001, the city decided to erect a memorial at the place where the two towers fell. It pays tribute to the victims of the tragedy but also to the brave firefighters who risked their lives to save hundreds of others.
• The Empire State Building is in a way the Eiffel Tower of New York. Inaugurated on May 1, 1931, it was at the time the highest tower in the world. The 86th floor is an observatory open to the public for a breathtaking view of the city.
