Itinerary

  1. When travelers visit the One World Observatory, their experience begins long before they even look out a window, starting with immersive, high-tech storytelling on the ground floor. After passing through the Global Welcome Center—which features a massive curved LED wall greeting visitors in multiple languages—guests walk through the Horizon Grid and Foundations exhibits to learn about New York's 400-year history and the building's bedrock engineering. From there, travelers step into the famous SkyPod elevators, which rocket up 102 stories in a thrilling 47 seconds; during the ultra-fast ascent, the elevator walls display a seamless, floor-to-ceiling digital time-lapse mapping the physical transformation of Manhattan from a forested 1500s landscape into today's dense concrete jungle.

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.
