Place · Central Park: Bethesda Terrace to the Met

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The city's largest art museum on the park's east edge: pick two wings and stop, since the building will outlast your energy; a good indoor rest in heat or rain.

Rules in force · 6Subway stations have few lifts and many stairs
  • United States ↗Check whether you need an ESTA (Visa Waiver Program) or a visa on the official CBP and State Department sites; apply only through esta.cbp.dhs.gov, not third-party sites, and allow time before you book.
  • United States ↗Several popular national parks use timed-entry or vehicle reservations in peak season; check each park's page on nps.gov and book on recreation.gov before fixing your dates.
  • United States ↗Medical care is very expensive for visitors; buy travel insurance with high medical cover before you fly.
  • United States ↗Tipping is expected: about 15–20% at sit-down restaurants and bars, and a tip for taxis, hotel staff and guides.
  • New York ↗Subway stations have few lifts and many stairs: with large suitcases, take a taxi or ride-hail car instead.
  • New York ↗Popular sights (the 9/11 Museum, the observation decks, some Broadway shows) sell timed tickets: book before you fix your day.
