There is so much to see and do in New York City at anytime of the year. New York sightseeing can be rewarding to organize all by yourself, but for the tourist who’s short on time the best things to do in New York City can often be found in one of many New York City tours.

Broadway — New York! New York!

Start spreading the news, if you want to be a part of it in New York then a visit to Broadway is an essential stop on New York City tours. Get carried away with big name acts like The Phantom of the Opera, Les Miserable, The Lion King, and many more. Often you’ll be entertained with a star studded cast, because for many years Hollywood actors and actresses, like Nicole Kidman, Julia Roberts, and even Denzel Washington have all hit the Broadway stage for the thrill of a live performance.

Central Park

In a city full of skyscrapers, Central Park provides a welcome reprieve from the hustle and bustle. New York City tours that include a stop off at Central Park should allow for plenty of exploring and relaxing time in the 800-odd acres of parkland. For an energetic exploration of Central Park, join one of the many bicycle tours of the park, or rent a bicycle, get a map, and explore the park yourself. For the more adventurous, horses can be rented from the nearby stables at a reasonable cost and provide a unique and unforgettable way to see Central Park.

Statue Of Liberty

By far one of New York City’s greatest landmarks, a trip to New York would not be complete without visiting the Statue of Liberty. To reach the Statue of Liberty, catch the ferry across to Liberty Island from Battery Park. Tours can be arranged beforehand or when you arrive at the island. To do this globally recognized symbol of freedom justice, allow for at least half a day to complete the tour and explore the surrounding islands.

Metropolitan Museum of Art

For a more culturally sophisticated experience, indulge in a tour of the city’s museums. The Metropolitan Museum of Art is by far one of New York City’s finest museums. From Rembrandt, to the Cloisters, to ancient Egyptian artifacts, and to the latest in Modern Art, the Metropolitan Museum of Art can fill hours of tour time. Organized tours that incorporate the museum will provide you a great way to see the museum’s most intriguing highlights from the many permanent and temporary collections.

Madame Tussauds New York

Lastly, Madame Tussauds New York is an entertaining and engaging destination on New York city tours. The museum showcases life-size wax models of America’s Hollywood royalty and other recognizable famous faces — or in the case of J.Lo, famous derrieres. Spend an hour or two being a part of interactive experiences like the night club VIP party, or Superman’s Metropolis.
