A great ride on a ferry from Manhattan to Staten Island. Although there is not much to see or do on Staten Island, the trip between the two islands is really worth it. The ferry passes by the Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island. The crossing gives you a magnificent view of the Manhattan skyline. The round trip takes approximately 1 hour from the Battery Park terminal at 4 Whitehall Street (daily, 24 hours a day, every 30 minutes). We advise you to return from Staten Island at sunset.

Today it is New York's main railway station. It welcomes trains from or departing from most cities in the country. If you go to Long Island, that's where you'll start from since the Long Island Rail Road comes here. The same applies to New Jersey Transit and, above all, to the trains of Amtrak, the national railway company. It goes without saying that with all this, Penn Station is an important platform where many travellers pass through!

Grand Central is one of the oldest stations in the United States still in operation (built between 1903 and 1913), in the heart of Midtown. Mythical, it is worth a visit on its own and it floats an old-fashioned air not without charm. It was almost destroyed, however, and it took Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis' full weight to guard and renovate this station. Today, it serves the northern suburbs (MetroNorth), northeastern New York State and Connecticut. During rush hour, there is incredible excitement!

Peter Pan Bus is another popular bus company in the United States. The services offered are more or less similar to those of its famous competitor. The departures from stations are perhaps a little better organized, but the destinations served are less numerous. There are several daily departures to New York and many East Coast cities. Peter Pan buses leave from South Station Bus Terminal, but also from Copley Square, the airport, Park Square and State House, depending on the destination.

Greyhound provides bus service to the major cities of New England and the United States. It is much cheaper than the train and almost as comfortable (there is Wifi and toilets in the buses). The n°1 option for those who travel in the United States, despite a not always optimal organization.

In any case, to make sure you have a good seat, arrive at the station early.

Peter Pan buses are a good alternative to the Greyhound company, the most popular in the United States. Its buses are generally less crowded and, in terms of bus station organization, it's slightly above the level. There are about 5 daily connections between Hyannis and Boston from South Station.

There are express trains (Acela Express), and other slower trains (Regional Service, cheaper). The station is also served by the MBTA Rail Switch, which takes passengers to Plymouth, for example.

Built in 1948 under the name of New York International Airport, the airport was renamed in 1963 following the assassination of the American President.

Upon arrival at the airport, proceed to the Ground Transportation Desk near the baggage delivery area for any information requests.

Unlike many other U.S. airports, Boston International Airport (the largest in New England) is not far from the city, to the east of it. It takes only 20 to 40 minutes by cab, bus (Logan Express) or subway(Blue Line and Silver Line) to get to downtown. You will find ATMs and a Travelex Foreign Exchange office to change your currency. However, the rates are not really competitive.

Located in northern Queens, it is the third largest airport in New York City. There are few international flights, but if you take a connection to Philadelphia, Detroit or Chicago before arriving in New York, chances are you will land here. Bus Q48 takes you to line 7 that serves Times Square, line Q70 to line E that crosses Queens, Manhattan and Brooklyn, and line Q72 drops you off at line M that stops in Midtown, on the Lower East Side or in Williamsburg and Bedstuy in Brooklyn.

New Jersey Transit is a network of buses and trains to New Jersey and Pennsylvania. If you are planning a getaway out of New York, you will probably use it.

It is also the New Jersey Transit that you will use to get to Newark Airport from Penn Station.

The train to take if you want to see the Yankees baseball team play and you don't live in Harlem or the Bronx. On match days, the wagons are full of fans, the atmosphere is good... especially when they leave the stadium when the Yankees won! Metro North makes several stops in Harlem and the Bronx, for example, you can use it if you go to the New York Botanical Garden. This suburban train will also allow you to reach many cities in Upstate New York.

The airport is located in New Jersey. To reach Manhattan, take the AirTrain, the monorail train that leaves from each of the airport's three terminals. Get off at Newark Liberty International Airport Station, then take one of the trains to Penn Station, which will take you right into the heart of Manhattan: both the Northeast Corridor and North Jersey Coast NJ Transit lines go there. It takes between 45 and 60 minutes to get there.
