Description
Welcome to Fifth Avenue, New York City’s premier thoroughfare in the heart of Manhattan. This tour invites you to march up this grand street of iconic landmarks that are certainly worth a walk through.
Washington Square is where both the tour and the Avenue begin. A block away, you will discover the easy-to-miss Washington Mews, a gated historic street lined with tiny photo-op cottages.
Up the Avenue, you will pass by the fancy-shaped Flatiron Building, which is one of the city's oldest skyscrapers.
Between 33d and 34th Streets, you will get a chance to see up to five states from the 102nd floor of New York’s first supertall, Empire State Building.
Next, you will take in the sublime beauty of the New York Public Library, a largest marble edifice ever created in the United States.
Later, the exquisite emblem of Art Deco-era Manhattan, Rockefeller Center, will draw you in with the postcard view of its Channel Gardens.
Steps away from there, you will be jolted into the past as you see the ornate medieval architecture of St. Patrick's Cathedral.
Closer to Central Park, you will notice the glinting Trump Tower standing out from its storied peers with the modern glitz and glam.
Finally, you will stroll through the hallmark Central Park, an elaborate work of landscape art of the 19th century.
Join this tour of Fifth Avenue to be amazed by the way its skyline rears upward to various heights and how the historical and iconic are mingled with the modern.
