Annually, hundreds of thousands of sightseers visit the One World Observatory to take in the spectacular view of New York City. Without leaving the structure, visitors to the top of One World Trade Center can see all the way from Manhattan to the East River to the Brooklyn Bridge and beyond.
The observatory is a quick and easy addition to any visit to the World Trade Center complex. The World Trade Center, of which the observatory is a component, features a handy entrance close to the 9/11 Memorial Plaza. Stop by the monument, the museum, and the observatory in the morning or the whole day.
At this elevation, you can do more than just take in some of the city’s most stunning vistas. Here is a summary of six things that I think you should do if you visit the One World Observatory. First, I’ll explain how 9/11 happened and why an observation deck was built atop One World Trade Center.
