Times Square, often referred to as “The Crossroads of the World”, is a bustling hub located in the heart of New York City. Known for its bright, flashing billboards and the annual New Year’s Eve ball drop, Times Square is a symbol of the city’s energetic spirit. The square is named after the New York Times, which moved its headquarters to the Times Building, now One Times Square, in 1904.
Visitors to Times Square can explore a variety of attractions. The iconic Broadway theatre district is just steps away, offering a chance to catch a world-class performance. Madame Tussauds Wax Museum is another popular attraction, featuring lifelike wax figures of celebrities and historical figures. Whether you’re shopping, dining, or simply soaking in the vibrant atmosphere, Times Square offers a quintessential New York City experience.
