Visiting New York and want to spend a day in Lower Manhattan touring the city? Below are some suggestions on how to fill your day!

9/11 Memorial

Visiting the 9/11 Memorial is an absolute must when touring around in New York. The memorial is absolutely beautiful, yet gives you chills at the same time.

Staten Island Ferry

Taking the Staten Island Ferry is free and the trip gives you a great view of the Statue of Liberty and NYC skyline.

Battery Park

Battery Park is spacious, full of history, and directly next to the Staten Island Ferry entrance. There is so much to look at and do in the park. Bring a book and relax, walk next to the New York Harbor which includes a great view of the Statue of Liberty, and view the many monuments and war memorials.

Oculus

The structure of the Oculus is very unique. Take a couple hours to view the structure and to shop around! If you are wanting to get a great view of the City, buy tickets to the One World Observatory from inside the Oculus.

Charging Bull

The Charging Bull , also known as the Wall Street Bull, is a short walk from Battery Park. This is a populalr spot in New York, as it is a symbol for the American Stock Market. If you are wanting to take a picture with the Charging Bull, be ready to wait in a line!
