Hire Car Newark Tips, Experiences & Comparison

Exploring NEWARK BY RENT A CAR

Newark is the largest city in the state of New Jersey on the U.S. East Coast, with a population of just over 280,000 in an area of just under 68 square kilometers.

It’s its proximity to New York, in particular, that makes Newark a worthwhile destination.

But Newark itself also has pretty museums, a magnificent church and plenty of good restaurants. And if you steer the hire car into the surrounding countryside, you’ll discover plenty of worthwhile destinations.

THINGS TO SEE IN NEWARK

Dive deep into the art of Tibet when you visit the Newark Museum at the start of your city tour. But African, American and ancient art exhibits are also on display. And if you want to learn about the American night sky, you can visit the planetarium after enjoying the art. Tickets to the museum are ten dollars, and there is an additional five dollar charge to visit the planetarium. The museum is open Wednesday through Sunday from 9:00 am to 5:00 pm.

Friends of the neoclassical architectural style can then admire the city’s magnificent train station. Trains to New York City also depart from there.

Next on the city tour could be the Cathedral Basilica of the Sacred Heart. From 1899 to 1927, this mighty house of worship was built. Especially the richly decorated facade captivates the visitors. But the high, column-supported interior, which is bathed in an enchanting light by the colourful stained glass windows when the sun shines, is also worth seeing.

At the end of your sightseeing tour, you’ll have the opportunity to stroll through the pretty Branch Brook Park with its countless cherry trees.

FIND A GOOD RESTAURANT

Newark has a vibrant Portuguese community that also makes its mark on the city’s restaurant scene. You can get typical dishes at Adega Grill, for example. The wine cellar is also worth checking out.

FINDING A GOOD RESTAURANT

Savers stay in Newark and take the train to much more expensive New York. We recommend the Hilton Newark Penn Station. The hotel offers comfortable rooms. You stay directly at the station and are by train in 20 minutes directly in Manhattan. It could hardly be more comfortable.

A REWARDING DESTINATION IN THE SURROUNDINGS

Try your luck and steer the hire car to Atlantic City. By car, you can reach the city in about two hours. After Las Vegas, Atlantic City is the second gambling El Dorado in the USA. Countless casinos await you, where gambling takes place around the clock. If you want to relax in between, you can also stroll along the well-kept waterfront promenade and enjoy the view of the sea.
