It is astounding to see this castle in the heart of New York City. There is art and collection of beautiful paintings and gardens to see with the view of the Hudson River. I like the feeling of being transported into medieval times right here in the City. One can either take the bus, the subway and walk to it... More

A New Yorker friend told me about this, and it remains one of my favourite NYC experiences and one of my favourite museums in the world. The guided tours are brilliant and the gardens around the museum are beautiful.

Many thanks to that rich guy Rockefeller who purchased the land for the park, gave the money for... More

Even if you don't, it would be worth it to go to this museum. There are the famous Unicorn tapestries, yes, as well as much, much more.
