6. National September 11 Memorial and Museum

The memorial and the museum are located at the site of the World Trade Centre, where the Twin Towers were.
Take your time looking at the forest of trees and the two square pools in the center. This is the exact place where the Twin Towers stood. The museum and memorial were opened to the public in 2014. Over a million visitors came during the first three months, and you should be prepared to be moved when you see it.
There are private tours which are often hosted by family members or first responders.
Allow yourself a half day to see the memorial and the museum, then spend some time in the area as there is plenty to see.

 

7. General Ulysses S. Grant Memorial

You will find this in Morningside heights, Manhattan. It is a memorial and final resting place of General Grant, who was the 18th president of the USA. His wife Julia Dent Grant is buried close by.
There is a very informative Visitor’s Centre where staff will answer any questions you may have.
The Memorial is free to the public, but it is only open on Wednesday to Saturday. It will only take a short while to see the memorial although the area is interesting to explore.

 

8. Chrysler Building

This building is easily spotted, as it is a very large triangle of Art Deco architecture. It is without a doubt, the most eye-catching skyscraper in NYC.
If possible, try to visit at night time when the windows are ablaze with lights. Notice the giant eagles instead of traditional gargoyles. Look out for the relief sculpture of racing cars and chrome hubcaps.
When it was being built, there was a race for the tallest building in Manhattan. The Chrysler won the race, but was very soon relieved of that crown by the Empire State Building in 1930.

 

9. One World Trade Centre

You may have heard of this as Freedom Tower. You will find it in Lower Manhattan. This is now the tallest building in the western hemisphere, and the 6th tallest in the world.
The total height is 1,776 feet tall. You may notice that the height in feet (1,776) is also the year of the Declaration of Independence.
Make sure you take a camera as this is an amazing thing to see. Spend a bit of time looking around the center, take a ride up to the observation deck and enjoy the fantastic views.

 

10. Intrepid Sea, Air, and Space Museum

This is an American Military and Maritime museum which is to be found in New York City. You will find it on Pier 86 on the west side of Manhattan.
Here you will be able to see exhibits about the USS Intrepid, a Concorde SST, submarine USS Growler, and the Space Shuttle Enterprise.
The museum was opened in 1982, and is very popular with tourists. Plan to spend a full day here. There is a café where you can get lunch or snacks.
