New York City Sightseeing (Sponsored Post)

New York City is full of wonderful attractions. There's the Statue of Liberty, Times Square, Central Park and literally hundreds of museums. But there are so many choices, it can become overwhelming: how can you possibly see so many sights, especially if your time in the city is limited?

One idea is to see everything from afar via a Circle Line cruise, or one of the other boat rides that showcase the wonders of the city from the water. The Circle Line touts itself as "America's favorite boat ride" and given the huge number of people who take this sightseeing tour every year, it probably is. The boat makes a complete circle around Manhattan island (hence the name), providing glimpses of all five boroughs (Brooklyn, the Bronx, Manhattan, Queens, and Staten Island) as well as fantastic views of many New York sights including:
But as pleasant as we find this ride in warm and pleasant weather, it is just plain not fun at all on a cold, rainy day.

Another way to see lots that the city has to offer at once is to head to the top of the Empire State Building. The observation deck is high above the excitement of mid-town Manhattan and on a clear day, the view can be glorious. We especially head to the Empire State Building at night when the crowds tend to be thinner and the city looks especially beautiful.

Sometimes, though, it is more desirable to see everything up close. For that type of view, you really can't beat the New York City Double Decker bus sightseeing tours run by CitySights NY. These tours take you around all the most interesting parts of New York City (or the neighborhoods of your choice). You can either stay on the bus and just enjoy the ride, or you can hop on and off according to your whim -- just visiting the attractions that interest you the most.

But wait, there's more! In addition to the double decker bus tours around New York City, the company offers attraction tickets, daily trips to Boston, Washington DC, and Philadelphia as well as shopping trips to Woodbury Common Premium Outlets.
