5 days in New York City Itinerary

Writer Pearl Buck once called New York City “a place apart,” and this giant urban center remains unlike any other in the world.

You've added The Metropolitan Museum of Art, Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, Central Park, and other attractions to your itinerary. There's much more to do: pause for some photo ops at 9/11 Memorial, admire the striking features of Rockefeller Center, get great views at Top of the Rock, and wander the streets of Times Square.

For reviews, other places to visit, more things to do, and more tourist information, refer to the New York City trip planner.
