New York Central Park, an oasis in

At the heart of the island of Manhattan, we have a huge undeveloped wooded area in which abstract from the dizzying pace of the city surroundings. This is Central Park, the lungs of New York and must visit the city of skyscrapers.


With 4 kilometers long and about 1 wide, understand how it is possible that this park can accommodate one of the world's largest museums, the Metropolitan Museum of Art (MET), a zoo, 7 lakes, green areas , rest areas, playgrounds, auditoriums, sports, and much more.

to know everything that we can find in Central Park, I recommend you check out their official website, http://www.centralparknyc.org/ , where does a lot of information that complement what podreis appears in this article.

of Sections One of the most useful page is displayed it on an interactive map on which are marked all the points of interest, information booths, restaurants, services ...

I recommend a minimum of 2 to 3 hours to enjoy some of the park and the hundreds of charming places to hide and I'll share with you . Starting next to

Met Museum, we go towards the Belvedere Castle, a scale replica of a Gothic castle, dating from 1869. In it, we can find an interpretation center of the fauna and flora in the park, but certainly more highlight what are the views to the north it has on the Delacorte Theater, Turtle Pond and the Recreation Park, where we can see some hints of baseball.

This is the northernmost of the park until we arrived, and is located right in Ecuador it. From here northward and toward Harlem, is the largest lake in the park, The Reservoir, and many more sports facilities or conservatory Garden among others.

From Belvedre Castle, walk south, but the landscape could find to cross a small bridge over one of the lakes requires us to briefly deternos to enjoy the views.

continued walking and reached one of the areas which for me has the best views of the park.
is a small rocky peninsula in one of the lakes called "The Lake" (forgive the redundancy). As you can see the sunset over the skyscrapers from here is spectacular.

Near the Natural History Museum, stands one of the most emblematic buildings in northern New York, the San Remo building.

This luxury apartment building overlooking Central Park has 27 floors and 122 meters high, where they have lived celebrities like Bruce Willis, Tiger Woods, Steve Jobs, Bono of U2 and Steven Spielberg among others.

A little later we reached a small plaza that could be considered an almost cult-park. Strawberry Fields is a dedicated to John Lennon mosaic within which we can read the word IMAGINE and in which we always find flowers, candles, messages and people playing some of their most famous.

is located in a of the areas preferred by John Lennon and Yoko Ono for a stroll around Central Park, as it is situated very close to the Edifico Dakota, the couple's residence in New York. In fact, Yoko Ono still had the house in which they lived and in whose portal was killed the composer and singer of the Beatles in 1980.

The next point of interest that we are Bethesda Terrace, a huge square where there is always some kind of musical performance, breakdance ... so it is a rather crowded and lively.

Presiding over the square, we find the source of the "Angel of Waters ", built in 1873 to commemorate the opening of the aqueduct that brought drinking water to the city in 1842.

After sitting down to rest awhile while we retrieve forces with a puppy and bought a coke one of the stalls that are scattered throughout the park, the night is bearing down on us, so we have to go out of the park, although it has poor lighting, a little intimidated by the foliage of trees and shrubs.

We decided to end our visit with one of the mythical places and a thousand times seen in many films, the ice rink located almost at the foot of the Plaza. Who Macaulay Culkin does not remember making the rounds through the streets of New York and the robbers fled from the rink in "Home Alone 2?
