New York sightseeing highlights

6 places

Empire State Building

Tourist Attraction

North America, United States, New York City

For a long time, you could only go as high as the 86th floor observatory at the Empire State Building, but now, you can head even higher, up to the 102nd Floor observatory. While the 102nd floor observatory isn't open air, the way the 86th floor is, being 16 stories further up and giving you a great view of New York City. You will be able to see all the bridges of New York City and the Central Park. Because the area is glassed in, you'll get better pictures from the 86th Floor, but the view is extraordinary!

Tourist Attraction
