Rivaling the Rhine and the Danube, the Hudson is up there in beauty and history. Access is provided by car on either side of the river or by a number of cruise lines. The major river crossings are the George Washington Bridge between North Manhattan and Ft. Lee in New Jersey and the Tappan Zee Bridge between Tarrytown and Nyack.
