The Empire State Building,
New York

Visiting the Empire State Building is a memorable experience that combines breathtaking
views of the New York City from the top, a rich sense of history and a bit of fun for everyone.
Arriving at the iconic building, you are immediately struck by its art Deco design. After a
quick ticket check you hop onto the high-speed elevator which zips you up to the observa-
tion desk on 86th or 102nd floors, with exhilarating speeds, or panoramic observatories offer
stunning sights of landmarks even beyond the city on days with clear skies.
On the 86th floor, you step out into the open air observatory where the view is absolutely
stunning. You can see iconic New York City landmarks in every direction – Grand Central
Park, the Statue of Liberty, Time Square and even the Brooklyn Bridge. The view stretches
for miles, and on a clear day you can see multiple states from the height of one thousand fifty
feet. Interactive exhibits add an educational element to the fun, showcasing the building’s
engineering marvels.
At a height of 1,250 feet (381m), it surpassed the Chysler Building to become the highest
structure in the world (until 1954). The Empire State building is located in mid-town Man-
hattan, on 5th avenue on 34th street. It remains one of the most distinctive and famous build-
ings in the United States and is one of the best examples of modernistic art. The empire state
building was even featured in the hit movie, King Kong, which released in 1933.
The Empire State Building is no doubt one of the historic buildings of America. It’s a great
mix of history, architecture and incredible photography opportunities perfect for both first
time visitors and NYC fans alike. You should go give it a visit.
