Start your New York City trip by accessing the Empire State Building early to avoid crowds. Enter the Art Deco lobby and go to the 80th-floor Dare to Dream Exhibit to learn about the building's construction. Continue to the 86th-floor observatory for 360° views of Manhattan and beyond.

In a small group, an English-speaking guide will tell stories about the Empire State Building's history. It’s a detailed look at the story behind the city's skyline.

Afterward, walk through Midtown Manhattan to see places like Bryant Park, the New York Public Library, and landmarks along 5th Avenue. Opt to visit the Top of the Rock Observation Deck at Rockefeller Center for views of Central Park, the Empire State Building, and the New York City skyline.
