Everything you need to know to have the best experience in the greatest park in the world.

At 843 acres (2.5 miles x 0.5 miles), you NEED a guide. It's too big to just wander and hope you see all the things you want to see, and it's far too easy to get lost. You need a friend who's seen it all and done it all to show you the way. I have been that friend for countless tourists (as a local AirBNB host) and to millions of viewers on YouTube (my Central Park videos have accumulated over 1.6 million views). 

Let me be your guide. I have literally spent years exploring every part of Central Park, and I love sharing it with others. I'm putting all of my knowledge, recommendations, and experience into this guide.

What's Included:
📝 Resources (maps to help you find bathrooms, food, drinking fountains, etc.)
🤩 Top things to do and see in each part of the Park (Create easy itineraries from my recommendations)
📓 Interesting info and personal experiences for each spot
✍️ Tips and recommendations for the best Central Park experience

You can spend hours researching everything on your own and still not be sure if you're missing something amazing. Or you can download this guide and instantly feel confident that you'll be able to see and do everything you want. Central Park is incredible if you know what you're doing. It's frustratingly too big if you don't.

Belvedere Castle

It's hard to overstate how beautiful and awe-inspiring the Belvedere Castle is. With views looking out over the Turtle Pond and the Great Lawn, and architecture and a setting that feels like you're in a storybook, it's easy to understand why this is a favorite place for so many New Yorkers.

The castle sits atop the second highest rock outcropping in the Park, called Vista Rock (the highest is Summit Rock). "Vista," of course, is Spanish for "view." And "belvedere" is Italian for "beautiful view." So when I tell you that the view from the top terrace of Belvedere Castle is incredible and not to be missed, you can trust that I'm not the only one that feels like that.

The main level is open all hours, but the castle has two terraces that you can climb very narrow, steep circular staircases to access. Those terraces are only open when the visitor center inside is open, so check the hours below.

Fun fact: This spot is so magical, that the top terrace of the castle is where I decided to propose to my wife. 💍

Discover this miniature castle right in the middle of New York City.  Located on Vista Rock, this is the second highest natural point in Central Park.

Not a lot of people seem to know about this spot! It's great for a picnic and it's so cool to see a little castle in the middle of the park.

Beautiful castle that you can enter. Free admission.

If claustrophobic skip the small staircase
