One World Observatory

Why go

The height makes the geography of New York Harbor readable at a glance. Trace the Hudson south past Jersey City, follow the East River under its bridges, and pick out the islands visited by ferry. After time at street level, the panorama gives a clear sense of how waterfront districts and routes relate to one another, with the city spread out on every side.

What to look for

• Use the elevation to read the shape of the Hudson, East River, islands, and bridge crossings after the ferry.

Useful to know

• Book a timed ticket; operating hours change seasonally and should be checked on the visit date.
