New York is one the busiest and the most populous and most renowned city in the United States.

New York is home to the United Nations Headquarters, and has been often referred to as the

cultural capital of the world. Historically speaking, New York City comprises of five boroughs,

each of which composes of a state county. The five boroughs — The Bronx, Brooklyn,

Manhattan, Queens, and Staten Island —were amalgamated into a single city in 1898.

New York City is acknowledged as the global center for media, culture, food, fashion, art,

research, finance, commerce and trade. It has one of the appealing skylines on earth, dominated

by the iconic Empire State Building. If you wish to undertake a memorable New York

Sightseeing Tours, then here is the list of places you should not miss.

Empire State Building - The gigantic Empire State Building is 1,453 feet, 8 9/16 inches from the

base to the top of the lightning rod and it is a sight to behold. Miss not to have a panoramic view

of New York City from atop the Empire State Building. There are 1,860 steps covering the entire

102nd floor and nearly twenty thousand people visit the Empire State Building daily.

The Statue of Liberty – History records that the Statue of Liberty was a gifted to the United

States as a token of friendship forged during the French Revolution. Since then the Statue of
