 Hello! Welcome to my first blog!

A little bit about me

My name is Moya Logan and I'm a second year Business Studies student at Ulster University Belfast I've been asked to create this blog as part of my digital analytics module. My blog will be a travel blog on a trip to New York including tips and tricks on everything you need to know to help you plan the ultimate trip to NYC! 

In today's blog I'm going to be discussing some most see spots during your trip and how much they cost to visit.

Must see spots!

Welcome to NYC, the city that never sleeps! From the bright lights of Times Square to the calm paths of Central Park, it’s a place where history, culture, art, and food come together to create an unforgettable adventure. Whether you’re a first-time visitor or a seasoned traveler, New York offers excitement around every corner — and this guide will help you find the best spots.

 Times Square is the vibrant heart of New York City — alive with bright billboards, buzzing crowds, and nonstop energy. It’s where Broadway begins and the city truly comes to life. Visiting is completely free, and while it dazzles most after dark, early mornings offer a quieter experience and great photo opportunities before the crowds arrive.

 Central Park located in central Manhattan with over 800 acres of park  surrounded by sky scrappers making it one of the most iconic landmarks and a must visit spot! . Explore Central Park by renting a bike, rowing on the lake, or enjoying a picnic on the Great Lawn. Visit Bethesda Terrace, Bow Bridge, or the Central Park Zoo, and go ice skating at Wollman Rink in winter. Entry is free, with extra activities at an additional cost.

The Statue of Liberty, located on Liberty Island, is reached by ferry from Battery Park or Liberty State Park, the ferry offering amazing views of the harbor and cities skyline. Most tickets include a stop at Ellis Island and its Immigration Museum. Prices start around $25 for adults, and visiting in the morning helps you avoid the crowds and enjoy the best views.

The Empire State Building and Top of the Rock are two of NYC’s best spots for skyline views. The Empire State Building offers breathtaking vistas from its 86th and 102nd floors, with tickets from $44–$79, while Top of the Rock at Rockefeller Center provides panoramic views, including the Empire State itself, for $40–$55.For the best experience, visit either spot at sunset, when the city glows in golden light and the skyline comes alive.
