Solo travel experience

I spent 6 days in NY, and I really liked the city. During that time, I managed to visit the Statue of Liberty, go up the Empire State Building, explore 3 museums, walk through Central Park, visit Chinatown, stroll around Manhattan, go to Coney Island and ride the famous roller coaster there, take a trip to Staten Island, and do a few other small things. Felt very safe.

Solo travel experience

It was incredible! I love NYC and I canโ€˜t wait to come back! NYC is very expensive, taxes and tips are never included, itโ€˜s not really budget-friendly but you can definitely find cheap spots like china town! The city has a lot to offer, I went for 7 days and it definitely wasnโ€˜t enough! There is so much to see and do that you canโ€˜t finish it. Itโ€˜s like a dream. Times Square feels unreal, the brooklyn bridge an sunrise/sunset or at night is beautiful and unbelievable.
