Autumn is one of the best times in the year to visit New York City. All the summer tourists have left, the weather is still nice and there are lots of events going on! Apart from that, autumn also the best season to appreciate the beauty of the city. The falling leaves transform New York, covering the streets in intense colours and making the city even more vibrant and lively!

There are even more advantages if you’re planning a visit to New York during this season. The prices are considerably lower compared to summer or spring, and it’s much easier to find good deals on hotels and cheap flight tickets.
The cultural offer of the city is also bigger during this time of the year, with a great number of exhibitions and festivals taking place all across New York. There are also sport games, parades and the most glamorous event of the year, Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week.

A visit to New York City isn’t complete until you take the lift to the observation decks of the Empire State Building. From there, you’ll be able to experience sweeping views of the city and all of its landmarks.

You can also sail the waterways and discover New York from a different point of view. The Staten Island ferry is considered one of the best tourist attractions of the city, travelling past Governor’s Island, Ellis Island and the Statue of Liberty.
The falling leaves and autumn colours transform New York City’s parks. Central Park becomes the most beautiful area of the city, offering activities like paddleboats and horse-drawn carriages to its visitors. Prospect Park in Brooklyn is home to the city’s last surviving forest and the Hudson River Park offers some calm in Manhattan.
There’s so much happening in New York that after your first visit to the city, you’ll probably consider going back next autumn!
