About Jersey City


Historically, Jersey City attracted many immigrants, which is why it’s a melting pot of cultures today, with influences from different ethnicities in everything from cuisine to the city’s inherent atmosphere.

Among all other attractions, the most visited one is the Empty Sky Memorial that reminds visitors of the loss of 749 innocent lives of New Jersey inhabitants that were lost in the World Trade Center attack. Moreover, the Liberty Science Center is another attraction in the city that has a number of interactive exhibits to educate adults and children about different aspects of science, with bees and their life cycles being the most prominent.

Everything else aside, the most iconic site in the city has to be Lady Liberty’s Statue, which attracts tens of thousands of visitors every year.
