New York’s Central Park is a beautiful pleasure ground of meadows, ponds, forests, and trails, nature at its best, surrounded by the great wall of Manhattan. The park is one of the world's most-visited places with an amazing 42 million annual visitors, putting it into the planet’s top-three most popular destinations, along with Times Square and the Las Vegas Strip. Fifth Avenue forms the entire eastern border of the park so that makes a convenient route to get into the park through various gates in the wall. There are numerous pedestrian pathways, or you could take a horse carriage tour. The pedestrian paths go beneath several roadways, through these attractive underpasses. You'd never know there's automobile traffic through the park.
