Create an itinerary including Times Square

Few places conjure up as many iconic images of New York as Times Square, the tourist center of the city, filled with bright video screens and LED signs flashing their messages 24 hours a day. Despite its name, this city landmark isn't a square at all, but the triangular intersections of several main roads in the middle of Manhattan. Stop at the prominent visitor center for restaurant and hotel recommendations, free maps, and ticket sales for many tourist attractions. Often called the crossroads of the world, the area features themed restaurants, theaters, and shops. PutTimes Square into our New York City trip planner and find out what's close by, where to stay, and where to head next.

This is truly an experience to behold. It is busy and packed with people. Not much to do, but there is quite a bit to see! Grab food on your way in or out, there is not much to eat there.

Times Square is all you would imagine - hot, busy, really busy, smelly and in places, dirty! Our teens couldn't stay away, they wanted to see it at every time of the day and evening. Nuts 4 Nuts...
