The subway is simple, runs 24 hours a day and is easy to figure out. Cabs can be called or hailed anywhere and are the easiest option? choose between the famous yellow cab or an Uber taxi ride using your smartphone (download the Uber app to order on-demand cars featuring driver reviews, location tracking and a choice of car). Taking the subway may provide a more authentic New York experience, but will be less convenient. Every traveler returning from New York will come home with a different experience ? be it a cultural awakening or a gratifying shopping trip. The city is home to iconic US landmarks including the Statue of Liberty, Empire State Building, Freedom Tower as well as quintessential Getting Downtown New York City Airport Introduction As a popular destination for tourists, and a worldwide economic center which is vital to business travel, New York receives millions of travelers each year and has three main airports. These airports are:

• New York John F. Kennedy (JFK)
• New York Newark (EWR)
• New York La Guardia (LGA)

It?s worth noting that La Guardia offers significantly fewer international flights to New York than the other two options. JFK: Located within the city itself, JFK is one of the busiest airports in the US. It?s just 12 miles (20km) southeast of Manhattan, in the borough of Queens. It?s easily accessible as the NYC Subway and Long Island Railroad are both connected to JFK International. Lines are open all night, but passengers should be cautious making trips to far-out or dangerous suburbs, and late night trips. Transport options for moving around within New York. The AirTrain can take you to one of three stations in Manhattan. This is a safe and convenient option, and can be caught directly from the airport terminal. Tickets can be bought on the spot or in advance. Buses can be caught from the east side of arrivals, payable in cash and exact change will be needed.

• The NYC Airporter Bus is a specific airport shuttle which leaves from JFK and arrive into Grand Central, Penn Station or Port Authority. They run every 30 minutes on the hour from early morning until late evening and include free Wi-Fi and plenty of luggage room. They can be booked in advance or at the airport.
• New York?s famous yellow cabs can be booked in advance or hailed from the airport, and take between 30 and 90 minutes depending on traffic. Whilst they may not be the most economical of choices, they are easy to use ? particularly for first-time visitors. Make sure that you use a legitimate taxi despatcher, rather than one of the drivers waiting in the airport, and agree on the price before you set off.

Newark: Newark is actually located in New Jersey state, rather than New York. It?s only a 14 miles (24km) journey across state lines though, directly to midtown Manhattan. It?s a quieter airport, smaller than JFK, but equally efficient and accessible. There are several options to get from the airport to the city: you can take a train which travels to a number of stops throughout NYC, buses are also available and take between 1 ? and 2 hours. Buses run all year round between early morning hours and late night.

• Taxis are also available from Newark into New York, but can be lengthy and tedious during rush hour.

La Guardia: The smallest of New York?s major airports, La Guardia is helpfully located just 8 miles (13km) east of the city. Travel information is readily available in the Arrivals area of each terminal.

• Taxis are available from outside the Arrivals hall.
• A combination of public and private buses provide transfers to all boroughs of the city: the station is just outside of the arrivals terminal, with all information regarding time, length and cost readily available there and then.
• The NYC Airporter bus is also available.
• There are also shared-ride services which run door-to-door drives on demand, taking around 30 minutes.

MTA?Subways and Buses If you can't walk to your destination, mass transit is the next-best way to get around. The City's rail and bus system is run by the Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA) and known as MTA New York City Transit. It's inexpensive, environmentally friendly and a great way to see sights throughout the five boroughs?and it operates 24 hours a day, seven days a week. The system is accessible to passengers with visual, hearing and mobility disabilities. For more information, consult the MTA's accessibility guide and its list of accessible subway stations. Purchasing a Metro Card is your first step to getting around on subways and buses; you must put a minimum value of $5.50 on the card when initially buying it. You can do so at subway stations, from either automated machines (which accept cash, ATM bank cards and regular credit cards) or booth attendants (cash only). When you use a pay-per-ride Metro Card, a single subway or bus ride costs $2.75. An Express Bus ride costs $6.50. Riders can buy a pay-per-ride card, an unlimited Metro Card or a Single Ride card?the last of these costs $3, is sold at vending machines only, doesn't allow transfers and must be used within two hours of purchase. An unlimited Metro Card allows users to ride as often as they like within a fixed time period: options include unlimited cards that last for seven days ($31) or 30 days ($116.50). There's also a $1 surcharge on the purchase of a new Metro Card. To avoid the charge, customers can refill an existing card. The MTA offers discounts for seniors (over age 65) and disabled riders, as well as a "bonus" credit of 11% for purchases of $5.50 or more on pay-per-ride cards. Also, up to three children with a maximum height of 44 inches each can get on subways and buses for free when they are traveling with a fare-paying adult. For the most up-to-date information on Metro Card prices, visit mta.info. Subways The easiest and quickest way to travel around NYC is by public subway train. Riding the subway is also a fantastic way to feel like a local during your stay in New York. Fast facts:

• Subway trains operate 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
• For $2.75 (the cost of a single ride when using a pay-per-ride MetroCard), you can use the system citywide and transfer to other subway lines as many times as you need, as long as you don't exit the system through a turnstile.
• You can transfer from bus to subway or vice versa within two hours of using your MetroCard. (The free transfer does not apply if you leave a subway station through a turnstile and want to get on another subway line.)
• Subway stations on the same line are generally about 8 to 10 blocks apart.
• The subway does not travel to Staten Island. To get there, board the free Staten Island Ferry or take a bus.

You can get a free subway map from booth attendants or at any Official NYC Information Center, or download one from our Maps & Guides section. You can also visit the MTA's Trip Planner for a customized route (but it's still a good idea to carry a subway map when you're out and about). The Trip Planner offers routes for MTA bus lines as well. Subway lines sometimes change routes or temporarily stop running?especially on weekends and late nights during weekdays?so be sure to check for up-to-date MTA service information at mta.info or by calling 718-330-1234. Buses Public buses are a scenic way to see the City and reach destinations not convenient to a subway stop. It's also worth noting that mass transit is central to New York City's efforts to become more environmentally friendly, and a growing number of NYC's buses are hybrid-electric models. Fast facts:

• All City buses accept the Metro Card and exact coin change (no pennies or paper money).
• Check the route sign on the front of the bus before boarding to ensure it's the bus you want, and make sure you know if it's making all stops or only "limited" stops (the limited buses don't make all stops along the route).
• Enter and pay at the front of the bus. The exception to this is on SBS (Select Bus Service) routes, where payment kiosks are on the sidewalk next to the bus stop.
• A single fare will take you any distance until the end of the route.
• Many buses are available 24 hours a day, seven days a week, but be sure to check whether your route offers overnight service. A schedule and route map posted at the bus stop indicate when the bus should arrive and where it will go.
• Buses run about every 5 to 15 minutes, or at longer intervals, depending on the time of day.
• If you have a smartphone, you can scan the QR code at the bus stop to receive information about when the next bus is expected to arrive.
• Buses generally stop every other block on avenue routes and every block on cross-street routes. Late at night, from 11pm to 5am, bus drivers will stop wherever you ask them to?as long as they feel it's safe.
• MTA service information is available at mta.info or by calling 718-330-1234.

The Roosevelt Island Tram With the swipe of a MetroCard, the Roosevelt Island Tram gives you an aerial view of Midtown East along its path from 59th Street and Second Avenue in Manhattan to Roosevelt Island, located in the East River between Manhattan and Queens. The tram got its start in the early 1900s, taking passengers halfway across the Queensboro Bridge, where an elevator would then transport them down to the island. Today, it provides direct service for more than 2 million riders seven days a week (Sunday?Thursday, 6am?2am; Friday?Saturday, 6am?3:30am), with transfers available to MTA subways and buses.

Daily, weekly and annual passes are available. Plenty of operations rent bikes by the half day and full day, with many such places located near the major biking destinations mentioned above. Some, like Bike and Roll New York and Blazing Saddles, also offer guided tours or suggested itineraries for independent exploration. If you want someone else to do the pedaling for you, hop in a Pedi cab (sometimes called a "bike taxi" or "bicycle rickshaw"). You won't have to look too hard in the busier parts of Manhattan?the drivers aren't shy about offering their services. NYC by Ferry As a waterfront city, New York is home to an extensive ferry system that can get you uptown, downtown and across the rivers to Staten Island, Brooklyn, Queens, the Bronx and New Jersey.

Tourist Attractions In New York City Central Park Divide-and-conquer might be the best strategy when exploring Central Park?its sprawling 840 acres are too great to take in during one visit. Instead, hit some of the highlights: Go for a stroll around the tranquil Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis Reservoir (circle the 1.58-mile track a few times for an actual workout), or join the semiclothed hordes who lay out in Sheep Meadow during the summer. Or find the details in some of the park?s most famous attractions, such as lines from Lewis Carroll?s poem ?Jabberwocky? inscribed along the base of the Alice in Wonderland statue. One World Observatory Despite occupying floors 100 through 102 of the tallest building of the Western Hemisphere, this one-year-old observation deck can be reached in just 60 seconds via a set of visually immersive 'Sky Pod' elevators. During the interactive tour experience ($32, seniors $30 and children $26), guests walk through some of the bedrock on which the building is built before entering the elevators, which are fitted with with floor-to-ceiling LED screens showing a video of the the city and buiding's history. Once at the top, the video concludes as the screen lifts up to reveal stunning 360-degree views of the Manhattan skyline. After soaking up the sights, head to One Caf? for casual fare, One Mix for small plates and cocktails or, the gem, One Dine for a full dining experience with large windows looking onto the horizon Empire State Building It's worth braving the long lines, steep ticket prices and dizzying heights to see the city from atop this storied building. Built in 1931, the skyscraper is the second-tallest building in New York and is one of the most immediate symbols of Gotham, so much so that it?s played a role in films such as King Kong, An Affair to Remember and Sleepless in Seattle. The Statue of Liberty Lady Liberty?s beacon still beckons (although these days, it?s mostly to the city?s visitors, not new immigrants). Rather than admire her from afar, hop on a boat to check out the 125-year-old statue. For a closer look, snag a spot on one of the National Park Service?s free half-hour tours of the grounds; the NPS also offers tours of the statue?s crown, which are limited to 240 people per day (so reserve your tickets in advance). Or simply climb aboard the New York Water Taxi, whose Statue of Liberty Express Tour Route allows you to circle her island before heading back to shore. Chrysler Building We won?t argue if you want to call this glimmering pinnacle of Art Deco architecture NYC?s most eye-popping skyscraper. Triangle-shaped windows in its crown are lined with lights, creating a beautiful effect come nighttime. Oozing a moneyed sophistication oft identified with old New York, the structure pays homage to its namesake with giant eagles (replicas of ones added to Chrysler automobiles in the 1920s) in lieu of traditional gargoyles and a brickwork relief sculpture of racing cars, complete with chrome hubcaps. The High Line Not all art in Chelsea is in the galleries?the neighborhood?s elevated park also features a number of rotating public art installations. With the opening of the green space?s second half between 20th and 30th Streets in 2011, this landscaped aerie doubled in size, providing twice the escape from the bustle of the city. Rockefeller Center You?ll find plenty of iconic New York sites in this multiblock complex: The ground level is home to the Rock's famed ice-skating rink, the bronze Atlas statue and the Today show plaza. Higher up, Top of the Rock rivals the Empire State Building in panoramic city views, and you can inspect the Art Deco murals that appear in several buildings. Don?t miss the triptych above the outdoor entrance to 5 Rockefeller Center or the rinkside Prometheus statue; both purportedly contain secret Freemason symbols. Bronx Zoo Wildlife Conservation Society The massive institution is home to more than 5,000 creatures in myriad exhibits, including an outdoor baboon reserve, a sea-lion pool and an exhibit dedicated entirely to Madagascar. Visitors can ride the Wild Asia Monorail, which tours 38 acres of exhibits that house elephants, Indo-Chinese tigers, deer, antelope and Mongolian wild horses, or wander over to see two gargantuan Nile crocodiles.
