The Vibrant Heart of New York City: Times Square

Getting There

• PATH TRAIN

  From any location in Jersey City, make your way to the Exchange Place PATH station. If you're not close to Exchange Place, you can use local buses or walk to a nearby PATH station. Once at Exchange Place, purchase a ticket for the PATH train to World Trade Center. Board the train and enjoy the short ride. After two stops, you will arrive at the World Trade Center station. Exit the station and follow signs for the Oculus, which will lead you to the streets of Lower Manhattan. From there, you can catch the subway or walk towards Times Square, which is about a 20-minute walk north.

• FERRY

  Head to the Paulus Hook Ferry Terminal located on the waterfront. You can walk or take a local bus to get there. Buy a ticket for the NYC Ferry service heading to 39th Street in Manhattan. The ferry ride will give you beautiful views of the skyline and takes about 10-15 minutes. Once you arrive at 39th Street, disembark and walk east towards 8th Avenue, then head north until you reach Times Square, which is around a 15-minute walk.

• BUS

  Locate the nearest NJ Transit bus stop and board a bus heading to New York City. Make sure to check the route for one that goes to Port Authority Bus Terminal. The bus ride typically takes about 30-40 minutes depending on traffic. Once you arrive at Port Authority, you can walk to Times Square, which is just a few blocks away. Exit the bus terminal, head north on 8th Avenue, and turn right on 42nd Street to reach the heart of Times Square.
