One of the busiest intersections globally, what else can I say? Close to Central Park, you can walk up there, rent a bike, and cycle through the park, or make a stop at the MET for an excursion. You can rent a CitiBike e-bike around the park and Times Square for the designated bike paths—an excellent way to spend your day.

Times Square is an amazing location bursting with energy, lights, and excitement. The massive billboards and lively environment create a unique experience, particularly at night. There’s a lot to explore—shopping, dining, and even enjoying a Broadway show. It can be crowded and expensive, but the thrill is definitely worth it. A true icon of NYC that’s essential to visit for travelers!

Absolutely loved it! The activities are ENDLESS. So many shops, so many eateries, and innumerable things to do. It was simply a fantastic experience. You don’t even have to remain in Times Square; there is so much to see all within walking distance. I strolled over to Radio City, NBC Studios, Grand Central, and much more. You can't visit NY and skip Times Square.

What a fun and thrilling place! The action was nonstop last night, and it was breathtaking. We managed to capture some fantastic nighttime photos. Even today, despite the rain, it was incredible to see all the different colored umbrellas. Walking down the street, everyone was still having a blast. Even in gloomy weather, this is a definite must-visit. When you come to New York, you’ll have an unforgettable experience. So many spots to explore and tons of dining options.

Times Square may be a bit overrated, but it’s still a must-visit when in NYC. The ideal time to go is in the evening when the lights shine brightly—it’s absolutely enchanting and feels like the pulse of the city. Just a tip: avoid dining at the restaurants in the square if you don't want to splurge just for the view. Instead, venture around the corner to Los Tacos No.1 for some of the best tacos in the city, and it's totally worth it.
