If you're looking for a state with a rich history stretching right back to Native American times, then you've come to the right place. Among many other things, New York's most famous as the entry point for the millions of migrants who built the United States up into the country it is today. You could follow in their footsteps by taking in some classic historic sights like Ellis Island and the Statue of Liberty.
If you're heading to New York City, chances are you're going to want to check out some of the big hitters like the Statue of Liberty, Central Park and the Empire State Building. But there are loads of attractions elsewhere in New York state too, including some of the most powerful waterfalls in North America at the awe-inspiring Niagara Falls. If you like your natural beauty on a large scale, be sure to check out the mountain peaks of the Adirondacks, while those looking to see how New Yorkers do beach living will want to spend some time in the ultra-posh Hamptons or chilled-out Montauk.
Let's put it this way – getting around isn't going to be a problem in New York state, since few places in the world can match it for public transport. Of course in New York City itself you've got the subway, buses and cabs, but most places in the state are covered by light rail lines, commuter train services or buses. If you're looking to get in by air, the state has some of the busiest airports in the United States, and in fact the only problem you're likely to have is with New York City's notorious car traffic.
Covering 140,000 sq km, New York tends to be talked about in terms of "upstate" and "downstate". Downstate encompasses New York City (NYC) and its surrounding areas, while the larger upstate area to the north includes pretty much everything else. In practical terms, you'll need to stock your wallet with U.S. dollars and you'll want to sort out decent health insurance before you travel. New York state's a fairly safe part of the world, though you'll want to be a bit careful in some districts of NYC. If you do get into trouble, the emergency number is 911.
