Jersey City, NY United States of America

Less than a kilometer from New York City is Jersey City, where you’ll find ethnic diversity in its gastronomy, exciting cultural events, emerging arts districts, and a cosmopolitan atmosphere that rivals its famous neighbor—all of it combined with sports attractions and countless outdoor recreational activities. Some of the most important attractions include Liberty State Park, located directly across from Liberty Island and Ellis Island. This 405-hectare park features a walkway with views of the Statue of Liberty. You can hike or bike along the Freedom Way trails or take an eco–kayak tour on the Hudson River. Don’t miss the Empty Sky 9/11 Memorial, among other landmarks. You also can’t skip the 12 galleries and numerous exhibits at the Liberty Science Center, or its IMAX dome theater. This is a very cultural city; several museums reflect its diverse traditions and cultural influences. Explore the unusual collection at The Museum of Russian Art, pay a visit to the Afro-American Historical and Cultural Society Museum, and discover the Powerhouse and Riverview districts.
