Tour | Central Park All-in-One Tour


It is easy to forget that you are in a crowded city while walking through this spectacular park! The original plan for the City of New York, laid out by the City Commissioners in 1811 did not include the park.

Today it is one of the best-known parks in the world and is enjoyed by millions-both locals and tourists alike.
