Destination Jersey City website provides a lot of useful information for any tourist. It contains sections on all the major attractions, transportation, accomodation, maps, districts, and things to do when in the city. A calender right on the homepage provides information on upcoming events. You can know the weather, information on traffic, and a lot more in the website.

Interesting information from the website include:

The Central Railroad of New Jersey (CRRNJ) Terminal, completed in 1864, is a historic terminal, through which thousands of immigrants entered dreaming their lives in America. Today it is one of the national treasures of America, along with Ellis island and the Statue of Liberty.

Ellis island was an immigration station. Millions of immigrants entered America by the way of the Registry Room of the island's main building. Ellis Island Immigration Museum has records of immigrant's arrival and other database treasures.

The Statue of Liberty, a symbol of political freedom and democracy, is one of the main attractions of America. It's located on the 12 acres Liberty island, and an icon of New York - New Jersey metropolitan area.

There is an Indian-American community vital to the New Jersey city. A place called India square in Newark avenue provides Indian food, groceries, clothing, movies, jewelry and other delights. It is also where Indian festivals such as Navratri, the Hindu festival of worship, dance and music, are celebrated with friends, family and neighbors.

A forum for interested people, and photos of different places around Jersey city would make Jersey City website a perfect online space for information on the city.
