The Do's and Don'ts of NYC Sightseeing
New York City remains one of the most exciting and popular cities in the world, offering a wide range of things to do and see. Transportation is among the factors to consider if you are planning a trip to the Big Apple for the first time, as you naturally want to do as much as possible. Review the following guide for tips about attractions, getting around, and staying safe.
Do:
Visit a museum.
There are many world-renowned museums to explore in New York, including the Museum of Natural History, the Museum of Modern Art, the Metropolitan Museum of Art, and the Guggenheim. If you are an avid art lover or are always interested in the natural history of the places you visit, add one or multiple museums to your itinerary. Browse the official websites before buying tickets, as most NYC museums offer free or pay-what-you-wish days each month to keep your travel expenses reasonable.
Pack cards over cash.
Carrying a significant amount of cash while sightseeing can be dangerous. It's possible to lose cash in shallow pockets or misplace your bag because you are in a new environment and therefore distracted. To avoid these issues, bring a minimal amount of cash and your “plastic” instead. Credit and debit cards are accepted throughout New York.
Don’t:
Walk everywhere.
Since NYC is one of the world’s biggest cities, walking everywhere can be convenient. However, local car services feature experienced drivers who know the city well, and can easily ferry you from one attraction to another without sitting in heavy traffic. Transportation services are also more secure than subways, because there is no risk of bag theft, and more comfortable because they are private.
Only visit one building.
The Empire State Building offers a beautiful view from the top, but don't just wait in line to see one building. There are other ways to enjoy panoramic views of NYC, such as the Top of the Rock at Rockefeller Center or the Chrystler Building. Many other attractions do not involve waiting in long lines, including the expansive Central Park featuring a cherry blossom grove, the Strawberry Fields memorial for John Lennon, and a conservatory garden, among other sights.

Based in Brooklyn, this company provides the Tristate Area with a range of car services, including medical and airport options.
