Bronx trip planner

The northernmost New York City borough, the Bronx has many claims to fame, including being the birthplace of hip-hop and home of the New York Yankees. The municipality hosts some of New York's most popular attractions, including the city's leading zoo and botanical garden. Its diverse neighborhoods encompass a number of ethnic communities--its Italian enclave, considered the city's most authentic, is one of the best places in New York to get an espresso. As the third most densely populated county in the U.S., the Bronx is famous for block upon block of towering apartment buildings; however, it also boasts a surprising amount of natural beauty. One-third of the borough is open space--home to hills, gardens, and parks. Plan your visit to Bronx and other destinations in United States using our United States vacation builder.
