With plenty of art galleries, historic buildings, museums, parks, restaurants, shops and theatres, visitors to New York City should also consider a trip across to Jersey City - by either using the Port Authority Trans-Hudson (PATH) Subway or the more scenic, NY Waterway ferry-ride across the Hudson; with plenty of sailing routes to choose from.

Boasting one of the most diverse populations in the United States, Jersey City can be called a 'Tapestry of Nations'; with communities of African, Arab, Asian, Cuban, Dominican, Filipino, Indian, Irish, Italian, Jewish, Polish and Puerto Rican decent all helping to make up the cultural potpourri.

Ellis Island is within its borders, and Jersey City’s close proximity to New York City has also contributed to the development of its own impressive skyline; the 238-metre Goldman Sachs building is one of the 200 Tallest Buildings in the World.

To help you plan a trip, Destination Jersey City offer advice on 'Things to Do'; along with a handy little guide to Jersey City's ten diverse districts.

You may even decide to stay in Jersey City and make a day trip across to New York City instead.
