Often compared to the Champs-Élysées in Paris, Fifth Avenue is undoubtedly the most posh street in Manhattan. You’ll find yourself surrounded by high-end boutiques, as well as must-see monuments and museums, like Rockefeller Center, St. Patrick’s Cathedral, the Empire State Building, the famous Metropolitan Museum of Art and Guggenheim Museum. It runs through Manhattan from south to north, marking the boundary between the east and west sides of the island. Stretching from Washington Square Park, in Greenwich Village, to Harlem, Fifth Avenue is fittingly nicknamed “The Avenue of Millionaires.” Chances are you’ll bump into a few celebrities while you’re here. Many of them live in the buildings lining the street. So, whether you’re into shopping, museums or skyscrapers, Fifth Avenue is an absolute must-visit!
