The Empire State Building is a world-famous landmark, synonymous with New York. It’s renowned as a backdrop in films such as “An Affair to Remember,” “King Kong,” and “Sleepless in Seattle.” In fact, it’s one of the city’s most significant and romantic skyscrapers. Officially opened in 1931, the Empire State Building took over the Chrysler Building’s title as tallest in the world, a record it had held for 40 years. New York owes its “Empire State” nickname to the building, which is to New York what the Eiffel Tower is to Paris, or the Space Needle is to Seattle. The building, an impressive 1,453 feet tall including the broadcast tower, offers views of Manhattan’s twinkling lights from two observatories. One platform is on the 86th floor and there’s another at the very top level on the 102nd floor, right under the broadcast tower. On the way to the observatories, be sure to spend time in the Dare to Dream 80th Floor Exhibit. This permanent display includes photographs, construction notes, and information on the building’s engineering. At the 86th floor, take a walk along the open-air promenade for spectacular views of Midtown, Lower Manhattan and Central Park. On a clear day, it’s possible to see as far as New Jersey and Connecticut. Pop a quarter or two in the old-fashioned binoculars for a close-up peek of nearby attractions, including Bryant Park and Times Square. The 102nd floor observatory is the highest public point in New York. The enclosed viewing area is ideal if you’re visiting in winter. The Empire State Building is located in Midtown, Manhattan, in the heart of the city, easily accessible by bus, subway or rail. The two observatories are open to the public 365 days a year. Lines for the ticket office and elevators can be long, so it’s wise to buy tickets on the Empire State Building’s official website. Wedding proposals aren’t uncommon, and a saxophone player sometimes serenades lovebirds visiting the 86th floor. ## Plan a trip to see Empire State Building Price found within the past 48 hours.

(1,626 reviews) I did not like being provided a wheelchair accessible room when it was not requested. I did not like how my platinum American Express card $100 credit was not honored. The cocktails at the rooftop and the service at the rooftop bar was poor. Overall, a disappointing stay after having numerous great prior experiences at the hotel. I now will have to find a new “go to “ hotel in NYC in the same great vicinity.

Top destination 5 - Excellent 594 4 - Good 497 3 - Okay 119 2 - Disappointing 13 1 - Terrible 5 ### 4/5 - Good Verified traveller 42$ to go on observatory: Very expensive but nice view. Way to expensive..... ### 5/5 - Excellent Verified traveller Amazing! ### 3/5 - Okay Verified traveller Did not visit but it is a fine building viewed while walking on 34th Street. ### 5/5 - Excellent Verified traveller The view from the top is great but the exhibits on the way up are also really great. See it all before you go up though because you can't go back on your way down. Went at 8AM on a Thursday and there was no lineup. Go early and don't waste your money on VIP. ### 2/5 - Disappointing Verified traveller No big deal - small building with a line-up to get to the top deck that's not worth it. And it's pricey. ### 3/5 - Okay Verified traveller Too expensive for elevator ride up for a family of 5. ### Popular places to visit ![Herald Square](https://mediaim.expedia.com/destination/1/ded46da17308ef299669a536242fa6b7.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=900&h=506&q=mediumHigh) #### Herald Square 4/5(18 reviews) Herald Square is just one of the places to see in New York, so why not enjoy the other things to explore during your travels?
