To observe New York, you have a choice: take height in one of these three skyscrapers.
Visit New York is not a small business: in fact, in front of the multitude of monuments to discover, not forgetting museums, department stores, small bars, mythical neighborhoods like Harlem, musicals , etc. There's something to lose your head.
New York is a city full of symbols that are known throughout the world: between Statue of Liberty , Central Park or the Brooklyn Bridge, the city never gives us a respite. It’s a surprise that New York invites us to her home, in her open-air home sweet home.
One of the typical points in New York is certainly its architecture, which over the decades shows the evolution of the techniques: between the soho and Chrysler Building buildings, the city’s architecture is part of its identity.
Three buildings to visit in New York are representative of Big Apple: the Empire State Building, the One World Trade Center and the Top of the Rock.

Much less crowded with tourists than the Empire State Building, the Top of the Rockefeller Center remains a quality observatory that will seduce for its pleasant outdoor terraces with its so typical wooden benches. Why don't you spend a few hours contemplating New York as if you hold her in the hollow of your hand? The view is simply magical: on the one hand you can admire the Empire State Building, on the other hand it will be Central Park that will be drawn to the north. This attraction is part of New York CityPass .

Today, it is the best skyscraper in the city of New York, as it peaks at 541 metres high, or 1776 feet (1776 being the year of the declaration of Independence that marked the birth of the United States). The One World Trade Center replaces the twin towers of the collapsed World Trade Center during the September 2001 attacks. This majestic tower has 108 floors occupied for the majority by offices. Don’t hesitate to visit One World Observatory between the 100th and 102nd floors to have a breathtaking view of the city and the bay.
