Central park was designed as an oasis for this rapidly growing city in the 19th century and it has evolved into one of the historic and most beautiful man made parks in the USA. Its landscaping and design fit into the urban environment so perfectly, that many people never believe it was completely man-made.
Central Park is enchanting and a walking tour is a great way to discover this masterpiece. Our walking tour visits all the best known spots such as its fountains, monuments, sculptures, bridges as well as some of the many ponds. Follow your experienced guide on the breezing paths and over the passages and through the archways, and learn all about Central Park's design and history.
