3 Best Views in NYC

Some of the recommended ones are:

Top of the rock:

For many, it is one of the best viewpoints in New York. From this Manhattan skyscraper, you can see the iconic Empire State Building, one of New York’s iconic buildings.

There are three observation decks:

• Floor 67: The busiest floor with large glass windows.
• 69th floor: Where you need to take the stairs from the 67th floor.
• Floor 70 – The top floor. Where you need to take another ladder to get there. Here is the outdoor gazebo, and there are some seats to sit. The top floor is the least congested and has the best views.

Going up to the viewpoint costs 38 dollars for adults, and 32 dollars for children between 6 and 12 years old. Those who visit it at sunset must pay an additional 10 dollars.

Hours: open every day from 8 in the morning to midnight (the last elevator to go up is at 11 at night).
