Stroll The High Line

The High Line is a public park built on a historic freight rail line elevated above the streets on Manhattan’s West Side. Saved from demolition by neighborhood residents and the City of New York, the High Line opened in 2009 as a hybrid public space where visitors experience nature, art, and design. This city park has a unique draw – it’s a 1.45-mile long greenway that winds above sections of the city.

The High Line is bordered by lush foliage and offers great views of the surrounding city. It’s also home to several public art installations along its route. Sections of the High Line can close due to inclement weather, so be sure to double-check what’s open close to your excursion. The High Line is open daily, with select measures in place to ensure the safety and comfort of our visitors and park staff. Free docent-led public tours are offered on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Saturdays from May to October, and on Wednesdays and Saturdays from November to April.
