Newark is the largest city of the American state of New Jersey and is an important economic center, however, the city is often being surpassed by its bigger neighbor New York.
The city has 275,000 inhabitants, the city, however, does not give the impression of being a medium-sized city. This is because Newark is located in an enormous urban area which includes New York, Jersey City and Paterson.
Newark is located in the northeast of the United States, on the Passaic River that flows into Newark Bay. Manhattan is situated eight kilometers to the east, Staten Island is three kilometers to the south.
The city´s economy is diverse, the services sector is the main industry, with great emphasis on banking and insurance corporations. One of world's largest insurance companies, Prudential, has its head office in the city.
The stake of (manufacturing) industry has been reduced, though, there is still a large brewery of beer giant Anheuser-Busch. The Port of Newark is the largest port for trans-shipment of the northeast of the United States. An interesting fact is that the Newark Bay is jointly being exploited with New York.
Newark is also a center of higher education, including a university and the New Jersey Institute of Technology.
About three kilometers from the south of the city center lies the Newark Liberty International Airport. It is an important airport for national and international air traffic, being used by budget airlines as an alternative to the New York airports.
The public transport of Newark consists of bus services and a light rail system. For visitors, mainly the light rail connection between Penn Station and Broad Street Station is interesting, stops of this line include Central Street (at the Waterfront Park) and Washington Park (in front of the Newark Museum). Buses run very frequently and take you to every destination of downtown Newark, the suburbs and the various university campuses.
Newark can be reached perfectly by car, however, traffic in downtown Newark can be very busy, especially on working days. Therefore it is better to park your car on one of the Park & Ride sites and continue by public transport. There is a large P&R site to the north of the city, at the light rail Grove Street terminal.
As in most American cities the streets are laid out on a grid plan. This pattern is being interrupted by major roads which often are named after the towns to which they lead, South Orange Avenue, Springfield Avenue and Bloomfield Avenue.
Newark has a fine variety of hotel accommodations to offer. It, however, should be noted that most hotels are aimed at business travelers. At the airport there are many hotels in all price categories.
