What you'll do
Hudson Yards is New York's latest reinvigorated neighborhood, a hub of high-class shopping, exquisite high-rises, and amazing restaurants. On this tour, you'll learn all about Hudson Yards' previous history as a bustling industrial district, and how it became a huge vacant lot before its current reimagining began.
The tour is accentuated by a visit to Hudson Yards 'The High Line'; a lush public park built upon a striking elevated railroad, and The Hudson Yards Vessel; huge, bronze sets of interlaced staircases featuring 2,500 steps that rise into the heavens. Learn about the history and characters that shaped the area and their fascinating tale with the eye-catching art installations that give visitors priceless views of the city. The ultimate picture-op for any budding photographer.
Hudson Yards is a mecca for all things culture and shopping. When the tour is over, why not sit down for a meal at one of the amazing local restaurants, or loosen the purse strings in the inviting shopping complex? The Highline over Hudson Yards is an iconic destination for all looking to experience the wonder of NYC.
