Highlights
Skip the ticket line, the live guide, and the fixed schedule. This self-guided walking tour, with VoiceMap, puts Alexander Hamilton's real New York in your headphones — the streets, taverns, and institutions where the Founding Fathers built a nation, decades before anyone set it to music. Walk the real ground: Bowling Green, Federal Hall, Fraunces Tavern, the Federal Reserve, and Trinity Church, where Hamilton worked, banked, dueled his way into legend, and is buried. A historian-narrated audio guide tells the true story of his rise from immigrant clerk to Treasury Secretary, his rivalry with Aaron Burr, and the birth of American finance — no reservation, no live guide, no fixed start time. Open the free VoiceMap app, start whenever you like, and let GPS-triggered narration guide you at your own pace, with offline playback and lifetime access included. At $19.99, it's a fraction of the cost of a guided Hamilton tour.

About New York City
New York City packs skyscrapers, famous museums, Broadway theatres and dozens of distinct neighbourhoods into five boroughs that hum day and night.
Manhattan is the classic first stop. Times Square glows above the theatre district, Central Park stretches for blocks between the Upper East and Upper West Sides, and the Empire State Building, the Chrysler Building and Rockefeller Center define the midtown skyline. Downtown, the 9/11 Memorial, Wall Street and the Brooklyn Bridge sit close together, and boats run out past the Statue of Liberty to Ellis Island.
Top-ranked sights in New York City: Statue of Liberty, Central Park, National September 11 Memorial & Museum.
