“Last year in May, I visited New York City for the first time, and Times Square in Manhattan was absolutely one of the most iconic places I could not miss—and one I will never forget. This area is incredibly inspiring. Not only because of the many shops and bright lights, but also because Manhattan is a global creative hub. Artists from all over the world come here to perform on Broadway, presenting some of the best productions of our time. During my visit, I had the chance to watch several Broadway musicals, including Moulin Rouge, Aladdin, and The Lion King. Experiencing these world-class p”

“NYC’s Times Square in winter is simply magical! • I was able to pass by Times Square almost every day during my stay in Manhattan. It was walkable from my hotel. • As expected, it gets crowded during the day, but I was lucky enough to see it almost empty after a snowstorm — which happened to fall on my birthday, too. • It was so pretty and quiet. The bright lights, massive screens, snow-capped streets, and soft snow falling: pure bliss. • There are plenty of cafés, restaurants, and shops around, definitely worth trying some! Lines usually move fast despite the crowd. • Broadway Theater Distric”

“The fabulously famous Times Square!! Hotel was literally a 5 minute walk… I had never been here and always wanted to go.. first journey was about 130am after arriving at the hotel.. it was semi barren, not a lot of tourists marching about… no sidewalk shows, but the place reeked of weed and it got worse the next day when the numbers increased dramatically.. but other than that. The buzz was electric, people everywhere, this was the site of many ball drops that I watched on TV.. pretty cool to be here in person… Massive LED screens surrounded you everywhere with all the hustle and bustle and”

“This had to be on the tick list as I have been meaning to just walk down here and take some photos, but even though it has been over a foot of snow the night before and it was freezing, it was sort of better in a way as it wasn't as busy! Went in to the McDonalds to grab some free wifi and book the 2 for 1 vouchers for the Empire State building, so google offers when in New York as even the locals didnt know this offer covered loads of 2 for 1 offers on Theatre and buildings, museums etc. Walked straight down to Central Park at the end of the road straight after and took some pictures at the ”

“What's not to love about one of the most iconic spots in America. The world is a better place because of Times Square and there is a lot to see and do here like seeing the red steps, watch a live performance on the streets, watch a Broadway Musical like the Lion King. As far as hotels go, we stayed at the Hard Rock Hotel which is amazing and perfect location. 5 stars doesn't do Times Square justice.”

“The beating heart of the city that never sleeps! Times Square is an absolute sensory overload in the best way possible. It’s where NYC’s rich history meets modern-day spectacle. Whether you’re there at 10 AM or 2 AM, the energy is always "on." From the street performers and dancers to the massive, glowing billboards, there’s never a dull moment. It’s the ultimate spot for people-watching and photography. If you’re in New York, you simply can't miss the neon glow of this iconic landmark!”

“My favorite place in the world is New York in the United States, because it's a beautiful city. There are interesting places to visit. You can walk in Central Park and visit Times Square and take pictures at Summit One Vanderbilt. The best time to visit is in December because Christmas is beautiful. You can enjoy the snow.”

“The first thing I did when I got to my hotel was to drop my luggage and take the five minute walk down to Times Square and let me tell you; it is quite literally unreal. It is chaotic and overstimulating for all the good reasons. It is essential you visit or pass through at times to get the different vibes: in the morning, midday, at sunset and at night. On your last day, it is crucial to stop by for the Arts Midnight Moment from 11:57pm to 12:00am. That’s synchronised display is so stunning!”

“We visited in August of 2025. It is alway a fun time visiting Time Square! We wandered around shopping, eating and doing some people watching. We purchased some great discounted Theatre tickets and awesome prices with perfect seats for viewing.”
