What are some fun things to do nearby Jersey City?

Jersey City has a beautiful view of the Manhattan skyline by the riverside. A highly recommended friendly activity is to bike along the riverside. For this, you will need to download the Citibike App from either the App store or Google Play store, find the closest Citibike dock and unlock a bike. You can simply follow the riverside up and down to enjoy your bike tour. Remember to dock your bike every 30 mins to avoid being charged extra.

Jersey City has a very charming downtown area about 10-15 minutes walking distance from the waterfront. The area is filled with cute shops and local restaurant to discover. The area is safe and walkable.

Hoboken is a gem of Jersey. Heavily influenced by a local Italian community, here it's a mix of breathtaking waterfront views and delicious restaurants. Located about 30 mins by foot, but can be reached by taking the light rail, Path (like subway), or biking.
