Before we start our tour of New York, it is better to know the geography of the area because the city is immense. Located at the mouth of the Hudson River and the East River, New York is divided into five districts called "boroughs": Manhattan, the Bronx, Queens, Brooklyn and Staten Island. Of course, Manhattan is the most interesting district to discover and several days will be necessary just to get a glimpse.
In fact, Manhattan is a large island that concentrates most offices and businesses in New York. This explains why there are so many people walking on the sidewalks quickly. In fact, they join their offices because 90% of people who work in Manhattan do not live there.
To get around in Manhattan, know that the island is divided into several areas. Downtown Manhattan stretching from the southern tip up to 14th Street. Midtown Manhattan stretches from 14th Street to Central Park South. Uptown Manhattan extends him south to the north of Central Park. Beyond that, we talk about the Upper Manhattan neighborhoods of Harlem and Washington Heights.
Practical advice:
Car traffic in the city of New York can be difficult.
The city has a metro (subway) and a train and bus to reach the city from the large cities of the East Coast.
If you plan to stay several days in the Big Apple, you can get there by bus or train.
