One can't go wrong with a trip to the "big city" in New Jersey. Of coures this big city is going
to be Jersey City, a popular tourist attract that has many things to see and do. In addition to the
historic elements, younger crowds will enjoy newer forms of entertaining experiences.
Transportation is something travelers need to keep in mind when going to places they aren't familiar
with. Whether or not they get a rental car, bring their own, or even if they decide to take an RV-
they'll need wheels to get around. But if travelers are fine with public transportation, Jersey City
won't disappoint with its many bus routes, train routes, and airports.
Jersey City is known mostly for being very close to the Statue of Liberty- one of the most widely
known landmarks in the United States. Also popular is Ellis Island, where immigrants had once
visited to gain entry into the country years ago. Now both make for a wonderful sight for those who
don't live in the area- and a great trip in history for those who live in the area.
Tourists should hurry and get their cameras ready for the Colgate Clock, which is expected to only
survive a short amount of time longer. The Colgate clock is deemed as the world's largest clock, yet
has been occupying a lot that could be used for better things. It is expected that the Colgate Clock
is going to be moved, although it is unsure as to whether or not it will be traveling a long
distance. Regardless, tourists should keep this limited attraction in mind.
Shopping is a popular subject among females and children- and some men who don't see the sport of
shopping as too tiring and stressful. Shoppers who come to Jersey City will be very satisfied in
knowing that Jersey City has ten different shopping districts. Each district has different options
in stores, services, and offerings- making for a truly unique shopping experience.
There are also a few parks that will enable tourists to relax and take in the sights. Liberty State
park, Leonard Gordon park, and Hudson River Waterfront Walkway each have their own distinct styles
in relaxation and entertainment. Those who are familiar with the Statue of Liberty probably already
know about Liberty State Park- which is situated near the landmark in question. All three are
considered to be a must-see for any tourists in the area who might be passing through.
In Conclusion
New Jersey itself is a great place to visit, but Jersey City should be on the front of the list of
places to visit if a traveler is making their way through. Be sure to visit the parks, shopping
districts, and the Statue of Liberty before leaving!
