It is a big park in the heart of Manhattan and is a must stop for any tourist! In all seasons it is perfect, a painting in the middle of so many buildings and always tells exactly the season in which the photo was taken.
It is BIG and for those who can not lose 5 whole days walking through it, there is an important tip: it has to be programmed, it has to search, it has to be strategic!
Because it is large, it is easily accessible in various parts of the city. The paths inside are NOT sharp and not signposted, it's a park. You can walk for 3 hours and have walked through a small part of the park. So it is so important if you program before you go, otherwise you can stay a whole day and not know anything you like. So, before you go, search for places tips, search for places where you want to meet. Have an offline map and use it to not get lost and "lose" time. Central Park will never be a waste of time and, having a road map, is not synonymous with rushing. You can use the map and walk in the tranquility you prefer. I use Google Maps, there is an option to download the map of a certain region and you can use it for 30 days.
I went in the winter (February 2018). We started with a GOOD New Yorker corner hot dog (I think everything was about $ 7). I chose movie and series points and famous points as well.
Points: “Alice in Wonderland Statue”, “Strawberry Fields” (Imagine), “Bethesda Fountain + Terrace”, “Trump Rink” (pista de gelo), “Belvedere Castle”, “Bow Bridge”, “The Gapstow Bridge” and free walks. It took me half of two days to do all of this.
I'll speak very briefly about each one during this week. Follow me to know more!
