The Empire State Building
A trip to New York wouldn’t be complete without visiting the iconic Empire State Building. Standing tall at 443 metres high, it offers unparalleled views of the city and is one of the most popular attractions in New York City. The tower, originally built to receive airships, is the tallest building in New York City. The building took just fifteen months to complete, having been begun in January 1930 and completed in May 1931.
There are many more enlightening trips to plan when visiting this impressive city, from a behind the scenes visit to Macy’s department store, to the Federal Reserve Bank Museum and a tour of a Brooklyn Brewery highlighting this small but ambitious brewery’s extraordinary success, which are all well worth a visit.
