High Line park

1 of 5

The elevated park in New York City is one of the city's most popular attractions, and it's a great site to take out-of-town guests. It was originally a rail railway that was decommissioned in 1980. The 1.45-mile-long strip was turned into one of New York City's most distinctive parks in 2009.

In addition to stunning views of New York's skyline, the park boasts wildflowers, vegetation, and outdoor art installations.
