The 10 Best Architectural Buildings in Financial District, New York (NY)
Conquering New York in one visit is impossible. Instead, hit the must-sees – the Empire State Building, the Statue of Liberty, Central Park, the Metropolitan Museum of Art – and then explore off the beaten path with visits to The Cloisters or one of the city’s libraries. Indulge in the bohemian shops of the West Village or the fine dining of the Upper West Side. The bustling marketplace inside of Grand Central Station gives you a literal taste of the best the city has to offer.

The Church is in the financial district just a short distance from the New York Stock Exchange. Although most of the Church was closed for refurbishment I have rated this highly because of its exterior, historic value and the churchyard in which you will find among others the burial place for Alexander Hamilton 1757 - 1804 First Secretary of The Treasury and his first born son Philip 1782 - 1801. The Chapel of All Saints is open daily for prayer during the refurbishment The Church is well worth a visit but if wanting to look inside I would advise checking whether the works have finished to save disappointment.

Lower Manhattan is packed with great free things to do and see and this is surely one of them. Here in the canyon of heroes is where New York ticker tape parades start is the the 1907 US customs house now the permanent host of the Smithsonian’s National Museum of the American Indian. I took free tours both on the American Indian and the building itself- All free and fascinating. Did you Know there were 500 tribes in the America’s? The four statues outside are of the 4 continents (remember- it’s from a 1907 perspective) and were designed by the guy who did the Lincoln memorial in DC. There were 3 tours on the Sunday I visited - all different- all about an hour starting at 12 and ending at 3 Pm and of course all free.

We're big Hamilton fans. In the past, walked by here on our own Hamilton walking tours but the museum wasn't open / we didn't have time to go through it. Went there Saturday with family and got on the guided tour. Our son broke away from the tour - he was looking for more about the building. Its a great tour / the museum about all that went on over the years. There's actually only 1 (small) room about the building :) My wife and I loved the tour and museum - loads of history. And spoiler alert - along the years the building has burned / been remodeled /was slated for demolition. So not sure how much of the building is original. HAVE TO MENTION: Laurel, the tour guide is great!! Loads of enthusiasm and interest in the topic! Laurel mentioned things like while Washington didn't walk on the current floorboards in the long room because of fires, etc, when people did repairs / renovations, the boards and other things were taken from old buildings of comparable age. We didn't get to see the whole museum (much bigger than I thought it would be). My wife and I will be going back to see more of it.

There are a million things to experience in New York City, but there’s only one way to see them all at once. You can start by hopping a Sky Pod to the top of the tallest building in the Western Hemisphere. There, 102 stories up, find yourself face-to-face with New York’s iconic skyline. Maybe you’ve seen views of the city before, but never quite like this. Walk the three sprawling levels of the Observatory and discover surprises along the way. Drop into the café and grab a bite to eat. Step onto the Sky Portal and stroll high above the crowded streets. Take an interactive guided tour of the city with the help of our Skyline Concierges, available to answer any questions you might have about New York’s long and storied history. And don’t leave without stopping by the One Mix bar for a glass of celebratory prosecco and one last look toward the horizon. See for yourself why One World Observatory is truly An Experience Above.

My family and I visited The One World Trade Center last week while we were on holiday. While visiting lady liberty island, we took the ferry that takes you to battery park, and from there it's about a 15mins walk to One World Trade Center. It was around noon when we started our walk towards the WTC, once we started getting closer, you could see the freedom tower and it's beautiful. There were lots of people taking pictures, standing in line for the museum, buying souvenirs, etc. You could go up to the observatory, but it's a long wait, so i recommend getting their early to beat the crowds. There's a lot of security there so we felt safe. If your in NYC, this is a must see place.

We were on a bus tour and went by the 4 world trade center and memorial. It was something to see on tv but in person you saw how many lives were lost and those who gave theirs to help others. You saw different roses which were for a person who passed birthday, friend who came to visit or family who came to visit. That was so moving and touching. It was surreal being out there. The new building was like it was reaching for the heavens it was so tall. It was crowded around the area so we didn't get to in, but being in the area you felt the spirit of America and it made you proud to be an American
