Fifth Avenue
Best time to visit
Early weekday mornings are best to avoid crowds and see storefronts in peace; late afternoon during winter showcases holiday lights and illuminated windows.
Budget tips
Walking Fifth Avenue is free; flagship windows and public architecture cost nothing. Buy tickets for museums like The Met separately, check museum websites for pay-what-you-wish or free hours, and consider NYC attraction passes to save when visiting multiple paid sites.

Beneath your feet, the street has been a runway for iconic fashion parades and holiday window displays for nearly a century, featuring life-sized animated ballerinas and teddy bears that dance just for you.
Insider tips
- Wear comfortable shoes, pavement and sidewalks are often crowded and involve long stretches of walking.
- Start at 59th Street by Central Park and walk south to take in a natural progression of landmarks and stores.
- Visit on weekday mornings for unobstructed photos of storefronts; aim for golden hour for flattering light on façades.
- Avoid peak weekend shopping times by using nearby side streets like Madison or Lexington Avenues to move faster between stops.
