Museum Mile, New York City

The Museum Mile is a lovely stretch along 5th Avenue chock full of museums and other fine arts institutions. If you are in New York for a short stay and need to cram in lots of sightseeing, Museum Mile is a must. The tree lined walk down the side of Central Park is also a nice treat.

Don't miss the Museum Mile Festival in June. Fifth Avenue is closed to traffic, the museums are open to the public, and street entertainers and musicians are everywhere. Click here for more information.
