One of NY's most beautiful buildings. Even if it is not the highest for a long time, it can be seen from many places as a striking eye-catcher. Great pictures from the Empire Stat Building can be made from Top of the Rock!

Hiking

One of the most beautiful skyscrapers in the world and one of the national monuments of the USA. Until 1972 it was the tallest building in the world (up to the antenna tip about 443 m). After the destruction of the WTC in 2001, it was again the tallest building in the city until the topping out ceremony for the One World Trade Center.

Hiking

Even if it costs time and money: drive up and enjoy the incomparable view over Manhattan with its sea of skyscrapers and Central Park. The resulting change of perspective makes the New York visit complete. Information and tickets at esbnyc.com
