New York self-guided walking tours · free · with maps
New York on foot: three self-guided walks.
Three walks through different parts of New York, each a real route with a map you can print, directions between stops and a source linked for every fact. Or open Strolio in New York and it builds a walk from wherever you are, for the time you have.
Three walks in New York
Pick by area or by time. Each page has the map, directions between stops, opening hours where they matter, and a shorter version.
Lower Manhattan
Where New York began: from the Battery past Wall Street, Hamilton's grave and the 9/11 Memorial to the Brooklyn Bridge.
Central Park
South to north: the Pond, the Mall, Bethesda Fountain, Strawberry Fields, Bow Bridge and Belvedere Castle to the Reservoir.
Midtown
Grand Central's starry ceiling to the red steps of Times Square, by the Chrysler Building, the library lions and Rockefeller Center.
How these walks are checked
Every fact on these pages comes from a source we opened and link to, such as heritage registers, city archives, museum sites and Wikipedia. Each page was then checked again, sentence by sentence, by someone who did not write it. See how we check stories →
