Travel Empire State Building
According to New York City Tourist 101, you must stop by this iconic building in midtown Manhattan. Recent visitors affirm that you won't regret visiting, despite the steep admission prices, the large crowds, and the lengthy queues. In fact, ascending to the top of the Empire State Building is the ideal way to start or end your trip to New York City since, on a clear day, you'll be able to see the city's greatest attractions from 1,050 feet below. Pick up the multimedia tour, which is available in eight different languages and leads visitors through the exhibits and views of the iconic building while providing further insight into its history. The tour is provided to visitors as part of the admission fee in order to improve their experience.
It's also really amazing to view the art deco tower from the ground, especially in the evenings when mood lighting is present. Since 1976, the tower lights of the Empire State Building have maintained a custom of changing color to honor numerous events and organizations throughout the year. The Empire State Building's dynamic lighting system, with more than 16 million colors in countless combinations and effects, replaced the floodlights in its famous tower lighting system in 2012 to update it. The Empire State Building presents eye-catching light displays in honor of special occasions and holidays, frequently timed to music being played simultaneously on iHeartMedia radio stations.
As the second-tallest skyscraper in New York City after the recently completed One World Trade Center, is impossible to miss. However, if you do, glance toward midtown Manhattan at the intersection of Fifth Avenue and West 34th Street (take the B, D, F, M, N, Q, or R train to 34th Street). If you choose to take one of the top New York City helicopter tours, you'll probably enjoy getting a good look at it as well. Every day from 8 a.m. to 2 a.m., the 86th and 102nd floors' observatories are open; the last elevator leaves at 1:15 a.m. It costs $36 for adults, $35 for pensioners, and $31 for children to enter the 86th floor, or $69 with the Express Pass (where you can bypass the line).
