10 Most Popular Tourist Attractions in the US

1) Times Square, New York City
Times Square in New York City is one of the most visited attractions in the world. It is also probably the most brightly lit due to a zoning ordinance that actually requires illuminated signs with a minimum, rather than maximum, number. The massive intersection, and hub of the Theater District, is located at the crossing of Broadway and Seventh Avenue and stretches from West 42nd to West 47th. An estimated 50 million people visit every year, and at least 330,000 pedestrians walk through every day. The annual New Year’s Eve ball drop has been a major event there since 1907. The popularity of the site is certainly assisted by the prime location in a city with many popular attractions, including the Statue of Liberty, Empire State Building and Central Park. If you’re planning a visit, wear comfortable shoes. You’ll be doing plenty of walking.
