Give yourself time to experience the visual energy and busy streets rather than simply passing through.
Plan your visit →Times Square
Make it part of a Midtown Manhattan day.
Times Square works best as part of a wider Midtown itinerary rather than an isolated stop. Leave time to experience the streets and lights, then connect the visit with theater areas, nearby landmarks, food and other Midtown neighborhoods.
Theater District
Times Square can fit naturally with the surrounding Broadway and theater area when planning your Midtown route.

Travel ideas →Midtown Planning
Keep Times Square inside one neighborhood cluster.
Instead of crossing Manhattan repeatedly, use Times Square as one piece of a Midtown-focused day. Choose your highest-priority nearby attraction first, then leave room for walking, meals and spontaneous stops as you move through the area.
A simple Times Square plan
- Choose Times Square as part of a Midtown route.
- Allow time for walking and crowded city conditions.
