3- Central Park, New York

Traveling virtually can also just be going to one of the biggest and most recognized parks in the world, visiting popular landscapes and landmarks, and learning about the important events that took place in the park. For many New Yorkers, Central Park is an escape from the city to encounter nature, it welcomes millions of visitors many unaware of the Park's rich history.

The park is not only a popular filming site for classics like When Harry Met Sally, Home Alone, and Romeo + Juliet; but it also held great movements and protests that changed lives in America.

Fun fact: For 70 years, the Sheep Meadow was originally the home to pure sheep which were brought in to repurpose the lawn and keep it manicured.
