Newark Airport

Newark has developed quietly in the shadow of its giant neighbour, New York. However, Newark is definitely worth a visit and you can access it directly via Newark Airport. On arrival, a good choice would be to rental a car directly from the airport so that you will freely discover the area.

Just a stone’s throw away from the Big Apple, Newark provides the visitor with stunning view on New York cityscape. But that is not it. Newark hosts the fifth largest cathedral in North America, the Cathedral Basilica of the Sacred Heart. Newark has an atmosphere of its own and will please tourists in search for a good time.

Interesting sites to discover while in Newark include Washington Park, a fine venue for walking sessions. The Dreyfus Planetarium will introduce you to the universe and its secrets, while the Newark Museum will immerse you in the area’s history. Another key site of Newark is the Aljira: A Center for Contemporary Art.

Restaurants are numerous in Newark and will provide you with fine and varied cuisine, all you need to spend a cosy evening out. For clubbing, New York and its bustling spots are just some minutes away so you will undoubtedly be tempted to make your way to Broadway or Manhattan. Better shopping options can be found in the neighbouring New York.

Day trips outside Newark of course involve a visit of New York City and its world-class attractions. Here the Rockefeller Center and the Statue of Liberty are waiting for you. You may also choose to visit Ellis Island and its museum or go to Long Island, the choice is yours.
