New York attracts so many tourists every year. In order words, people are dying to see the landmarks in this city. But with much to do and with limited resources, here are five places to visit in New York:

Statue of Liberty and Battery Park

The Statue of Liberty is a blend of many things. It is one of the tallest statues in the world – at 152 feet and 450,000 pounds. It is a popular symbol of freedom. And it is the single biggest diplomatic gift (presented to the United States by France).

The statue of liberty can be found at the Liberty Island. You can take a boat ride for a closer view of the great statue or go to the Battery Park in Manhattan to see it from the shores.

Brooklyn Bridge

The story behind the famous Brooklyn Bridge is compelling. American Engineer John Roebling brainstormed about a bridge with towers and cables, then started working on it after 1855. Sadly, he died of complications from a ferry accident and his son furthered his work.

In any case, the Brooklyn Bridge is such an amazing sight to behold. And it could possibly inspire you just as it continues to inspire poets and artists. Brooklyn Bridge is the first steel bridge in the world and was finished in 1883.

Empire State Building

When you visit New York, you should stop by at the Empire State Building. Doing so makes you one out of a billion who have seen this one-time world’s tallest building. You also become one of those privileged to see this important American landmark.
