New York City is the most populous and the most international city in the United States. Located on the eastern coast of the country, at the mouth of the Hudson River, New York City is composed of five boroughs: Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, The Bronx, and Staten Island. Each borough has its own character and attractions, but Manhattan is the heart and soul of the city, where you can find some of the most famous landmarks in the world. New York City is a global center of culture, art, media, finance, entertainment, and innovation. It is a city that never sleeps, where you can find something to do and see at any time of day or night. Here are some of the must-see attractions in New York City:

It was a gift from France to commemorate the centennial of the American Revolution in 1886. It stands on Liberty Island in New York Harbor, and welcomes millions of visitors every year. You can take a ferry to the island and climb to the crown of the statue, or visit the museum and learn about its history and significance.
