The square is also known for its famous New Year's Eve countdown, which attracts thousands of people every year. At exactly midnight, a huge ball of light slowly descends down a pole, marking the beginning of the next year. If you're lucky, you may be able to witness this breathtaking spectacle.

Finally, if you are a theater lover, Times Square is also the place for you. This is where the famous musical theatre district is located, where you can see the biggest Broadway shows.
