The Times Square:
Visited by over 44 million tourists every year, tourists end up flocking the garish neon heart of New York for its flashing lights, Broadway shows, huge stores and sheer manifestation. And with the introduction of pedestrian-only areas with cafe tables in 2009, it has made it more tempting to hang out in Times Square. It is a very convenient place as one can find hotels at every point and accessibility to subways, rails, buses and more yellow cabs than you reckon!
The Central Park:
Stretching across nearly 850 acres of prime Manhattan real estate, The Central Park is New York's most popular green spaces. A haven for locals and visitors, one can go on a ride on the famed horse-drawn carriages, visit the self-effacing-size zoo, scale the top of 19th-century Belvedere Castle or sprawl on the great lawn to gape at the skyscrapers above. No wonder the Central Park has over thirty-eight million visitors flocking it every year.
Union Station:
Shuttling around thirteen thousand passengers in and out of the city of Washington D.C. every day, The Union Station was opened in 1907. The station also handles severe tourist passage with over thirty-seven million passing through to take in the immaculately sundry architectural styles right through the gigantic building - from classical to Beaux-Arts to Baroque. You can also find over seventy retail stress making the Union Station a shopping destination as well. Many city tours also have their jumping-off point here.
Las Vegas Strip:
Hard hit by the recession, people say one should never bet against his legendary Sin City. Over twenty-nine million tourists visited the Las Vegas Strip and the majority of tourists chose to stay at hotels on the Strip like the Caesar's Palace. Jump onto the Strip to shop, lay bets, catch the Bellagio fountains in action and of course, people-watch!
Niagara Falls:
With a leg on each of the borders of the U.S. and Canada (New York and Ontario), this gigantic cascade's romance factor and the out-of-this-world awe-inspiring views account for nearly 18 to 20 million tourists. Niagara Falls is stunning, impressive and fantastic for its sheer magnificent power compared to the other five-hundred taller waterfalls in the world. The Niagara falls are also easier to get to as compared to many other major waterfalls - it's just a short flight or drive away for millions of regional travelers.
