North Cove Marina

Highlight • Structure

Usually pretty yachts linger in this harbor ... Great berth in the middle of NY with a beautiful New Jersey skyline on the other side of the river. Next to it is Brookfield Place with dining options and a nice little park.

Battery Park City Greenway

Highlight (Segment) • Cycleway

One lane for cyclists and skaters, another for pedestrians. Convenient and much more pleasant to walk than inner city avenues.

Nelson A. Rockefeller Park

Highlight • Natural

Also recommended is the Irish Hunger Monument at the southern end of the park. On the other side of the river an interesting structure is created (see photo)

Little Island

Highlight • Structure

Of course, Little Island looks very special from a distance. When you visit it is mostly “just” a park, but a very beautiful one! When you walk here you will find many different types of trees, shrubs and a few hundred other species of plants. This means it can rightly be described as a green oasis in the Hudson. There are hiking trails that lead to the highest points on the island and offer beautiful views of Manhattan, New Jersey and the river around you.

Don't forget to look for an arch that leads to the "secret garden." This garden is full of all kinds of white flowers. Little Island has three grassy areas where you can enjoy the sun and a picnic. There are free toilets in the park, which are located in a cave-like environment.

The High Line

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

A beautiful walkway park on the old upper Westside railway line closed in the 1980s and upgraded to the park in 2009-2016. There is plenty of seating and all kinds of architecture to admire. In addition, there is always the possibility to leave the park and enjoy the dining and supply options of the Chelsea Neighborhood.

The High Line - view of The Edge

Highlight • Viewpoint

The Highline offers the opportunity to discover the city from the top floor. A wonderful, amazingly green area from which you can discover exciting architecture. There is now something similar in Paris.

September 11, 2001 was a beautiful late summer day in New York – until at 08:46 a plane flew into the north tower of the World Trade Center.

At first it was thought to be a tragic accident. But then a second Boeing flew into the south tower. The pictures that went around the world on that day and on the following anniversaries still leave you speechless and stunned.

The burning high-rise towers became a death trap for more than 2,500 people; almost 400 firefighters and police officers lost their lives during the rescue work. From then on, this sad day went down in history as "9/11" (pronounced: nine-eleven).

Ground Zero is no longer a place of terror, but a memorial and a place of silence. The National 9/11 Memorial now stands where the twin towers of the World Trade Center once stood.
