Hey there fellow travelers! Mark here with Wolters World, and today we’re talking about the Do’s and Don’ts of visiting Times Square — one of the most famous, most photographed, and most overwhelming places in New York City. Whether you love it, hate it, or just want to see it once, Times Square is unlike anywhere else in the world… and there are some important tips every tourist should know.
In this video, we go through what you should absolutely do when visiting Times Square, what you should avoid, and how to make the most of your time while dodging the tourist traps, street hustles, crowds, and overpriced chain restaurants that dominate the area. We also talk about why most locals avoid Times Square altogether — and the smart ways travelers can enjoy the energy and excitement without getting overwhelmed.
You’ll learn:
? What to DO in Times Square — lights, photos, Broadway shows, TKTS booth, and the big attractions
? What NOT to do — ignoring hustlers, avoiding shady “VIP deals,” skipping overpriced chain restaurants
? The best times to visit for photos, fewer crowds, and a better experience
? Tips for seeing a show near Times Square (and how to avoid ticket scams)
? Food advice — where to eat around Times Square instead of in it
? How to handle the costumed characters & CD sellers
? How to stay safe in the thick crowds and bright lights
? Navigating the subway at Times Square without losing your mind
? Why locals don’t go there — and why it’s still worth seeing at least once
Times Square is busy, loud, flashy, and chaotic — but it’s also iconic. With the right do’s and don’ts, you can enjoy the excitement without getting trapped, scammed, or frustrated.
Enjoy, and happy travels!
