If You're A Visitor

With everything from arts & antiques to a world-famous zoo, The Bronx is a must-see destination when you visit New York City. The Bronx Tourism Council's information line (718-590-BRONX), and this web site provide a checklist of places you won't want to miss. Additionally, "Where To Eat In The Bronx" highlights the borough's most popular restaurants.

The information in this web site will help you get to and around The Bronx like a native. Or see our listing of tour operators offering regularly-scheduled bus tours of The Bronx.

When planning your visit, also be sure to check out our calendar of events on this web site, and see what's taking place when you're in town. If you're planning a visit in June or October, call our office for information on Bronx Week and Tour de Bronx, respectively. These two events, produced by The Bronx Tourism Council for the office of Bronx Borough President Adolfo Carrion, are exceptionally good ways to get to know The Bronx.

Whenever you come to visit, you'll understand why Bronx native Robert Klein sings, "The Bronx Is Beautiful This Time of Year."

If You're A Member Of The Travel Trade

If The Bronx isn't already on your itinerary, what are you waiting for?

There's never been a better time to bring your clients to The Bronx.

Our dramatic revitalization has received national and international media coverage, creating an increased awareness and curiosity among potential visitors.

The volume of product in The Bronx makes it easy to develop tours around your clients' interests: cultural heritage, house museums, botanical gardens, historic districts, art galleries, neighborhoods, food, and more.

Most of our attractions have ample motorcoach parking and year-round programming. For example, there are behind-the-scenes tours of Yankee Stadium on non-game days, and dazzling events at The Bronx Zoo and the New York Botanical Garden during the holidays.

In fact, on virtually any day, whatever the season, there are more things to see and do in The Bronx than in most cities!

The Bronx Tourism Council will help you enter or expand your presence in the Bronx marketplace with assistance in itinerary creation, development of marketing materials and free promotional benefits.

Give your new clients a reason to extend their New York City stay, or give your seasoned clients another reason to return to New York--invite them up to The Bronx.
