Would you like to travel but you don't know where? Here you have a solution! New York City. It is the most populated city of the United States of America and it is the centre of the New York metropolitan area, which is among the largest urban agglomerations in the world.
It has been one of the centres of the world in commerce and finances for over a century. It is considered as a global city, because of the level of the media, politics, education, entertainment and fashion. The artistic and cultural influence of the city is the most important of the whole country. In addition, we can find the headquarters of the Organization of the United Nations there, which is an important point in international affairs. New York has five different boroughs: Bronx, Brooklyn, Manhattan, Queens and State Island. It has 830 square kilometres and 8,4 million people live in there.
Do you know that New York has a lot of places to visit? For example, the Empire State is the highest building of New York.. It has a height of 443, 2 metres. It was built in 1931 and it was designed by William F. Lamb. Before, the Twin Towers were the highest ones but since the terrorist attack, the Empire State became the highest one
The metropolitan Museum of Art is another very famous place of this fantastic city. It is one of the most visited art museums of the world. It is located in Manhattan and it was opened in 1872. There, we can find classic art like paintings and sculptures of many important European and American artists. For instance, Rafael, Tiziano, El Greco, Rembrandt, Velazquez or Picasso.
Central Park is another famous place of NY. It has 3, 41 km2 and it is located in Manhattan. Central Park is the most visited park of the United States. 25 million tourists visited the park one year. It also appears in a lot of films and TV programs and because of that, it became one of the most famous parks in the world. The park is managed by a company called Central Park Conservancy.
To finish, the Statue of Liberty is a very beautiful place. It weights 225 tons and its height is 92,99 metres. 4-5 millions tourists visit it yearly and it was a present of France because of the independence of America. It is the symbol of the United States and it represents the freedom and emancipation.
In conclusion, I think that New York is a good place both to visit and to stay for a long time. New York, not only has places like those to visit. Going to a match of the New York Knicks for example is also very interesting. Although I have never been to New York, I recommend going there!
I hope you like it!
