New York Sightseeing Day 1

On the first day of New York sightseeing, I took a 24-hour Big Bus from the Big Apple Pass

This bus can fully enjoy the Uptown Downtown night course and three

You can almost go around Manhattan.

In the morning, I look for a stop to catch the uptown bus, and there are a lot of ticket sellers dressed in red.

They usually sell tickets to downtown, and they don't know where to stop uptown.

They say silly things like 'over there' or 'over here'

When I finally got to the bus stop, the bus went in front of me.

and then i had to wait another hour at the bus stop.

The people in New York are kind, but the people who work there are not kind.

Because it's about making money, when you ask them or ask them to do something, they just treat you coldly.

There were fewer people on the uptown bus, at least one bus an hour.

It takes about an hour to ride around Central Park.

What was surprising was that Harlem was developed, and there was a university around it, and it was very beautiful.

The famous place is the Dakota Apartments, where John Lennon lived.

In the afternoon, I could easily catch a bus to downtown, and I decided to walk along the Brooklyn Bridge.

After crossing the bridge, there is an area called Dumbo, which is also famous and often seen in pictures

It was October in New York, and it was very hot, almost 30 degrees.

By the time it was crowded, my throat was dry. I bought a cola, but it was about 3 dollars and 50 cents

It was the first day, and I couldn't figure out how to get on the subway from there, so I walked back across the bridge.

It took quite a while, so if you wait for the next bus as it is, you will not be in time for the night tour at night

I decided to take the subway for the first time.

Later, we found out that the Brooklyn Bridge was a one-mile round trip, and if you add up the distance to Dumbo, you'd have walked about five miles.

I think I walked 7 or 8 kilometers on this day, including wandering around without knowing the bus stop in the morning

Somehow I was able to come back at the last minute, so I got on the night tour bus without having dinner

That's the Empire State Building, glowing red at the top.

The Brooklyn Bridge where I walked during the day was also beautiful Fireworks went up at some event Lucky

Manhattan is a small city, so you could walk to famous places.

... Read moreビッグアップルパスは観光にはとても便利ですが、現地でのバス乗り場の場所が分かりにくいこともあります。私もアップタウン行きのバス停を探すのに苦労しましたが、事前に公式ウェブサイトやアプリでルートや停留所の位置を確認しておくとスムーズに動けます。 ニューヨークの公共交通機関は慣れないと戸惑うことも多いですが、地下鉄も活用すると移動効率がかなり上がります。ブルックリン橋の徒歩散策はおすすめですが、思った以上に距離があり、暑い時期は水分補給が重要です。コーラが高いと感じましたが、現地ならではの物価も旅行の味わいですね。 ハーレムの開発された街並みや大学周辺の美しさを体験できたのはうれしい発見でした。ニューヨークの多面的な雰囲気を感じられるスポットです。ナイトツアーでは、光り輝くエンパイアステートビルや花火など、昼間とは違った夜景の魅力に触れられました。 観光の際はいろいろなコースに乗ってみると、ニューヨークの街の広さや魅力がより実感できます。トータルで7〜8キロ歩いた日でしたが、体力に自信のない方は無理せず地下鉄も取り入れてくださいね。街中でのちょっとしたトラブルも旅の思い出のひとつ。ぜひビッグアップルパスを活用して、思い出に残るNY観光を楽しんでください!
