Imagine going out for a whole day trip with your friends or family, and it’s all free! Well, if you are in New York, then it sure can happen! What most people don’t know is that so many famous landmarks, and must-visit places in Manhattan, NYC are actually free. So if you want a fun-filled day trip, packed with sites and sounds, history and art, then do check out these awesome places to visit on a lazy weekend with your friends or family!

central-parkCentral Park

843 acres of pure, fresh air, that makes you feel like you are completely cut off from the unstoppable New York energy. Pack a picnic for two, or for the whole family, and laze around on the grass, or just walk around and explore. There’s so much to see and do in the park itself, that your whole day is going to be filled with never-experienced-before little moments. There’s the Strawberry Fields, Sheep Meadow, or just keep a look out for free (or almost free) summer concerts in the park!

 

Staten Island Ferry and Museumstaten-island-ferry

Re-experience the Statue of Liberty, and the views of Lower Manhattan. And if you haven’t experienced this ride, then what are you waiting for?? Where else will you get a chance to hop onto a ferry ride, and see the Statue of Liberty, and visit a museum, and that too, all for free!? So, go ahead and enjoy yourself on the ferry on a sunny day, and then go through the historic photographs, and natural history specimens at the Staten Island Museum.

grand-central-terminalGrand Central Terminal

If you have seen enough movies filmed in New York, then you must already be aware of the Grand Central Terminal. Originally built in 1913, the station was fully renovated in the 90’s, and now has all its glory back. Daily about 550,000 people commute from the station, and its a place to see. Not just that, the station is actually an architectural masterpiece. Do check out the Whispering Gallery (in front of the Oyster Bar), where you whisper into one wall, and you can be heard on the opposite side of the room!

Time’s Squaretimes-square

Millions and millions of people walk through Time’s Square every year. In the day its filled with crazy traffic, and a life that is so very busy. And at night you get to see the real charm of Time’s Square. The lights, the shops, the people, the energy, it’s all an experience once having in a lifetime. Stroll through the shops, have a cup of coffee, or just sit and people watch, and take pictures! Time’s Square is one fun place to be anytime of the year.

rockefeller-centerRockefeller Center

Besides the importance of the building historically, the Rockefeller Center has always been famous for its trademark Christmas tree, and Plaza ice rink. Between fall and spring, you can just go and have a great time ice skating, and during Christmas, there’s always the awesome excitement to see the most beautiful Christmas tree in the whole of NYC. Then there’s always, of course, the strolling around aimlessly in the center, and window shopping and just having a good time on a free day!
