Manhattan Skyline

This is just one of those rare opportunities in a city the size of New York to stroll casually above all the hustle and bustle of what's going on down in the streets. It is not a five-star wow attraction of New York but it is a strong 3 star piece of relaxation. The Re-Use of an old abandoned train track is typical of New York being creative, so slow down and enjoy the walk

The Manhattan Skyline is one of those striking sights that requires your immediate attention, so matter what else you might be doing or for how long you've lived in the city. It's especially breathtaking at sunrise and sunset, when the buildings are bathed in sunlight. Whenever I took the busy to LaGuardia, we'd get an uninterrupted view of the skyline, and the entire bus would stop talking merely to take in the glorious views.

Manhattan skyline is famous for its towering skyscrappers which can be seen from many places. We had visited the Statue of Liberty and from the cruise and island, you can get a very good view of lower Manhattan. We didn't do the helicopter ride over the city instead viewed it from the cruise and island which itself provided a very beautiful view.

We sailed into NYC harbour early morning past the Statue of Liberty and the city skyline was still illuminated. Great sight to welcome us to NYC. Photo shows view as we sailed out. Always find it fascinating.

Nothing beats the feeling of being in a taxi on your first visit then this magnificent view appears upon the horizon when traveling from the Airport to the City. Such a sight to see when your still over in Brooklyn side.
A world famous skyline. A skyline like no other. You will never get other how many buildings there are. A glamourous concrete jungle. The city is a must-do, at least once in a lifetime

On this visit to New York City, we took in the Manhattan skyline anywhere we could! We started in Brooklyn, first taking in the skyline from the highest point in Green-Wood Cemetery. Next we walked the Brooklyn Heights Promenade in the late afternoon at sunset and at night. A couple days later we walked across the Brooklyn Bridge in mid-afternoon on a sunny day. Even after we left the city, heading north along the Hudson, we enjoyed views of the skyline from the scenic lookout parks! The skyline never disappointsdifferent from every anglewith so many unique architectural stylesstunning!!

One of the most iconic skylines in the world, especially with the new buildings on Grand Zero. It can be best experienced from the river so recommend taking the Staten Island ferry and stay on it for the return journey. The ferry is free of charge.

Catch a ferry across the Hudson River from Brookfield Place near the World Trade Centre, or a PATH train from the WTC over to Exchange Place, Jersey side. The promenade on the Jersey side is a paved, pleasant, landscaped area with eating places, benches for resting and enjoyment of the views. Sunset when the sun glows and is reflected off the Manhattan side buildings is splendid, then wait for the night views and the lights reflected in the river. For early bird photographers, sunrise is equally spectacular.

If you are a fan of the classic big apple I recommend riding the free Staten Island Ferry back & forth at least once during the day and at night. The view of the skyline is amazing from the water and as you kick off up close the further you distance on the 20-minute trip the view reveals the skyline in the background. at different levels of depth. Amazing take pics and video! ( night also the lights are amazing against the black sky)

Manhattan is the world's richest island. Manhattan is known world-wide for its skyscrapers. The island is America's center of commerce. To get an idea of just how densely built Manhattan Island is, you can view it from Ellis Island and imagine how new immigrants reacted when they first saw this great city. Among the best-known skyscrapers are the Empire State Building and the Chrysler Building, an Art Deco masterpiece.
