Though it is the nation's most densely populated state, New Jersey still packs in diverse destinations from the beach to the countryside across 7,500 square miles. Home to over 9 million residents, notable New Jersey cities and towns include:
Atlantic City – The once renowned seaside resort city still draws visitors to its casinos, iconic boardwalk, nightlife, and beaches even after falling from its former glory.
Princeton – The quintessential college town, Princeton charms with Ivy League architecture, boutique shops and eateries, and cultural attractions like McCarter Theatre Center and Morven Museum & Garden.
Cape May – At the southern tip of NJ, this quaint Victorian village transports visitors back in time with hundreds of gorgeously preserved historic homes, a lighthouse, and stunning beaches.
Hoboken – Just across the Hudson from Manhattan, lively Hoboken offers waterfront views of the NYC skyline, restaurants and bars along Washington Street, and easy ferry access to the city.
Ramsey – In northern NJ, Ramsey and surrounding towns like Ridgewood and Glen Rock exude small town charm while still being close to highways and public transit into NYC.
New Jersey dazzles with diverse scenic, cultural, and historic destinations – dispelling its unfair reputation beyond being the Garden State.
