Central Park Landmarks You'll See on a Pedicab Tour

From Bow Bridge to the Conservatory Garden — these are the landmarks your driver will narrate, explain, and stop at for photos.

Bow Bridge

The most romantic bridge in Central Park, built in 1862. Its graceful cast-iron arch spans the Lake with the Manhattan skyline behind it. You have seen it in Spider-Man 3, romantic comedies, and thousands of proposal photos.

Bethesda Fountain

The Angel of the Waters statue crowns this iconic fountain at the heart of the park. The surrounding Bethesda Terrace features stunning tiled ceilings where street musicians perform without amplification. Featured in Gossip Girl, Elf, and Avengers.

Strawberry Fields

A quiet memorial to John Lennon, located across from the Dakota building where he lived. The black-and-white Imagine mosaic is one of the most visited spots in the park — a peaceful place where musicians often gather to play his songs.

Included inClassic Tour

Belvedere Castle

A miniature castle perched on Vista Rock, the second-highest point in Central Park. The observation deck offers panoramic views of the Great Lawn, the Ramble, and the Midtown skyline. Sesame Street fans know it as Count von Count's home.

The Lake

Twenty-two acres of water at the heart of Central Park. Rowboats glide past Bow Bridge while the skyline reflects in the surface. The paths around the Lake are some of the most scenic in the entire park.

Central Park South

The 59th Street entrance is the gateway to Central Park and the meeting point for all Grinlo pedicab tours. From here, your driver heads north past the Pond, Gapstow Bridge, and into the park — the city disappears within minutes.

Included inExpress Ride

Shakespeare Garden

A hidden four-acre garden tucked behind Belvedere Castle. Every flower and plant here appears in Shakespeare's plays, each labeled with a bronze plaque and the quote it comes from. One of the quietest, most beautiful corners of the park.

Conservatory Garden

Central Park's only formal garden — and one of New York's best-kept secrets. Three distinct sections (Italian, French, and English) feature manicured hedges, seasonal flowers, and a peaceful fountain. Most tourists never make it this far north.
