Architecture Places Map
Architecture in the USA:
Statue of Liberty
Times Square
Plan your bathroom breaks at the nearby McDonald's or fast food places. Public restrooms are tough to find, and those spots can help you avoid a long search.
Rockefeller Center
My advice is to time your visit around sunset. There's nothing like seeing the city turn from vibrant lights to twinkling stars, but book your ticket in advance to get that prime time!
I think it’s really cool to check out the art deco architecture but don’t miss the secret rooftop gardens at the nearby areas. They offer a quiet break from the busy streets below.
Pier 39
Fremont Walking Alley
I recommend grabbing the famous shrimp cocktail at the Golden Nugget. It’s a tasty treat and won’t break the bank!
Santa Monica Pier
I recommend timing your visit around sunset. The views from the pier are absolutely breathtaking, and it’s a great time to grab some photos.
I suggest visiting on a weekday if you can. The weekend crowds are no joke, and it’s way more chill to enjoy the pier without all the hustle.
Golden Gate Bridge
Don’t forget to bring a jacket! It gets really windy on the bridge, and even if it’s warm in the city, it can be chilly up there.
I suggest visiting during the week if you can. The weekends get super crowded, and I found it much more enjoyable with fewer people around.
The Brooklyn Bridge
If you're planning to take photos, I suggest heading to the Brooklyn side before sunset for magical lighting. The skyline at dusk is awesome.
Lincoln Memorial
Pike Place Market Foundation
I think checking the weather before you go is key. If it’s drizzly, you’ll want a good umbrella; some areas are covered, but you’ll still want to be prepared!
Check out the seasonal events. I stumbled upon a fresh flower festival during my visit, which was a lovely surprise and made for great photos.
I recommend bringing cash. Some vendors only accept cash, and you can often get better deals that way. My debit card was a hassle at several places.
