Absolutely impressive! One World Trade Center not only offers modern and elegant architecture, but also breathtaking views. From the observatory, you can enjoy spectacular views of famous bridges like the Brooklyn Bridge and the majestic Statue of Liberty. An unforgettable experience that enhances any visit to New York City. The perfect combination of history, innovation, and views!
Also a nice viewpoint and from a completely different angle than top of the rock and summit. There is only one disadvantage taking pictures is very difficult because of the very reflective windows, especially in places where the sun shines in. That was a bit of a shame. but otherwise a nice view. And it has a super cool elevator. A selfie stick was not allowed inside, we had to hand it in at security and then pick it up again when we came down. No problem of course. You also have to reserve a time slot when buying the tickets at the machine.
