NEW YORK CITY

Bridges. Boats. Sky Decks. New York City Shines.

Views In, Over, and Around Manhattan.

Ranging from free options to tickets costing about $50, these five spots reveal New York’s skyline from fresh perspectives. Take in endless horizons at The Edge sky deck, or let the Hudson breeze carry you on the St. George Ferry Route. Roosevelt Island sits quietly in the East River, framing the U.N. and Chrysler Building, while the Manhattan Bridge offers a perfect look at Brooklyn Bridge and Lower Manhattan. Finish at Transmitter Park, where sunsets bathe the city in color.

Close By Sites After Catching the Sights

At Hudson Yards: Walk the High Line’s leafy walkway, surrounded by striking architecture and city views. Pop by The Vessel or wander Hudson River Park’s promenade, where New Yorkers unwind and sunsets paint the Hudson in color.

Off the Battery Park Ferry Station: Head to The Oculus, architect Calatrava’s jaw dropping transit hub and shopping spot.

Cross the Manhattan Bridge into Brooklyn for DUMBO’s cobblestone streets, trend setting cafés, and Brooklyn Bridge Park just a short stroll away.

Slow it down on Roosevelt Island: Ride the tram over the river, then wander to Four Freedoms Park for tranquil views of Manhattan and Queens.

Finish in Greenpoint after a sunset at Transmitter Park. This laid back neighborhood charms with great food, from Radio Star to Chez Ma Tante.
