The college city of New York

New York City, also known as the “Big Apple” or “The City That Never Sleeps”, is the largest and most densely populated city in the United States and one of the world capitals with a population of over eight million. It is located in the US state of New York and is divided into five districts, the so-called “boroughs”: Manhattan, the Bronx, Brooklyn, Queens and Staten Island.

The city is an international center for business, finance, fashion, medicine, entertainment, media and culture with an extraordinary collection of museums, galleries, theatres, international companies and financial markets. It is also home to the United Nations Headquarters and many of the world’s most famous skyscrapers. Actually, you can even marvel at three different skylines: Midtown Manhattan, Lower Manhattan and Downtown Brooklyn. The climate is humid and continental, and average annual temperatures range from 8°C to 17°C. Flowing through the city are the Hudson, Harlem, and East Rivers, among others, and the natural harbor formed by Upper New York Bay has contributed much to the city’s status as a commercial center; it is also considered a World Heritage Site. Here welcomes the ”

In the 19th century, rich industrialists built a network of cultural institutions such as Carnegie Hall or the Metropolitan Museum of Art, which were able to establish themselves internationally. The 39 largest theaters, meaning those with more than 500 seats, are grouped together as “Broadway,” named for the thoroughfare through Times Square’s theater district. The Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts is the largest performing arts center in the United States and is home to the Jazz at Lincoln Center, the Metropolitan Opera, the New York City Opera, the New York Philharmonic and the New York City Ballet, among others. Central Park in Manhattan, the most visited park in the United States, is a great place to relax. Also worth seeing is the Brooklyn Bridge, which was the world’s first cable bridge, the Empire State Building or the Chrysler Building. Those looking for luxury shopping can do so on Fifth Avenue or Madison Avenue, or visit events such as the Halloween Parade in Greenwich Village or the Tribeca Film Festival. But that’s just a tiny fraction of the countless opportunities that the metropolis of New York has to offer.
