Known as the Met – and with the most famous stairs on television (hey, Gossip Girl!) – the museum founded in 1870 is considered one of the biggest and best art museums on the planet. Paintings, sculptures and an authentic Egyptian temple are just some of the cool things that you will find around. During the summer, make sure to check the rooftop with beautiful views to Central Park and special art installations. Also, make sure to ask about the group tours - they are free

TIPS:

• New York State residents and NY, NJ, CT students can pay as they wish at the MET.

• If you wanna take a photo like mine, with the empty stairs, make sure to stop by after the museum closes.
