Home to the iconic Statue of Liberty and the awe-inspiring Niagara Falls, New York is a massive and diverse state in the USA. Central Park, Empire State Building, and the vibrant Times Square are the most-visited sites. New York City is undoubtedly the prime focus of tourists and business travelers alike, but the state has more attractions outside the Big Apple. Beautiful lakes, such as Finger Lakes and Lake Placid, fascinate nature lovers. Long Island boasts gorgeous beaches and Montauk Point State Park. Upstate New York is the best area to enjoy winter sports in the colder months and hiking in summer. While you discover the magnificent state, unwind in a one-of-a-kind rental. For a memorable stay, check out the most unique Airbnbs in New York, USA.
