Central Park is the pulsating green heart of Manhattan, with almost 3.5 km in length, its a must see if you are visiting New York City.<\/p>\n
Central Park is so big that it is not easy to cross it completely, so for a first visit I suggest doing the southern part, which goes from 81st Street to the height of the Natural Science Museums and the Met Museum to 59th Street in the south.<\/p>\n
There are many attractions in the park so it is difficult to know what to see in it. Here are some suggestions of what to see in Central Park on a first visit to New York. The tour begins in the middle of the park, at the height of the Upper West Side. You can take the subway lines B or C coming down at 81 Street station.<\/p>\n
Going south we go through the following points first:<\/strong><\/p>\n Belvedere Castle (beautiful castle with incredible views) Bethesda Fountain Central Park Zoo The park has a lot of trails and streets where you can start walking and getting lost but then find your way again, and do not worry because every corner is just amazing.<\/p>\n You have to dedicate at least half a day to do this tour, the ideal time is to start early to take advantage of the daylight.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Central Park is the pulsating green heart of Manhattan, with almost 3.5 km in length, its a must see if you are visiting New York City.
