7 tips you need to know for your trip in New York

Our trip to America and New York in particular has proven to be a special experience and taught us quite useful things for the next time we visit it.

Tip # No3 Lost Body

The New York Metro is the fourth metro in the world. We are talking about a huge underground railway linking each side. The lines are chaotic, as is the amount of people that are using it every single day. It is a good idea to have downloaded the metro map on your cell phone. There are many options depending on your mobile software. For example, we downloaded NYC Subway application on our mobile. It’s available both apple store and google play store.

This advice concerns you if you are gonna be in New York during the spring months. Whatever you have checked that the weather will be, we recommend you having at least one sweatshirt or a lightweight jacket in your baggage.
