Attractions
The metropolis of New York City delights both culture and
shopping enthusiasts. Marvel at one of the world's most
important collections of modern art in the Museum of Modern Art
or experience a performance of the famous Metropolitan
Opera. Among the city's architectural masterpieces, don't miss
the Brooklyn Bridge, the Statue of Liberty, and the Empire State
Building and Chrysler Building. You can shop in style,
especially in Manhattan on Fifth Avenue.
Those looking for relaxation away from the hustle and bustle
of the big city in New York State should take a road trip
through the Hudson Valley, which crosses the state territory
along the river of the same name. In addition to historical
sights such as the West Point military academy with a museum and
a visitors center, outdoor enthusiasts in particular can
experience adventures in sports such as climbing, rafting and
skiing. You can also explore the Hudson Valley on extensive
hiking and trekking trails. Further north in New York State, the
Finger Lakes Region with its eleven lakes and countless
waterfalls is ideal for excursions. Visit Filmore Glen State
Park or one of over a hundred wineries. The waterfalls of the
same name are located between the sister cities of Niagara
Falls, one of which is on American and one on Canadian
soil. They are arguably the best known natural spectacle in New
York State. Enjoy the view of the falling water from one of the
famous Maid-of-the-Mist boats that have been driving visitors to
the attraction since 1846. South of Niagara Falls along the
Amish Trail you can discover the original way of life of the
Amish People and buy traditional handicrafts such as quilts,
carpets or baked goods in numerous shops.
