The High Line & Chelsea guided walking tour
- Free cancellation up to 24 hours before the start of the experience.
Description
Discover two of the coolest spots in Manhattan — the High Line and Chelsea Market, with this immersive walking tour.
You’ll begin with a visit to the world-famous Chelsea Market, a reimagined former factory now renowned as the city's ultimate food court. Following that, climb the gray steel truss of the High Line, an innovative park built atop an elevated railway that extends for over a mile along the West Side. There, you'll see distinctive art installations, urban meadows, and awe-inspiring vistas interwoven between and around buildings. Your guide knows the best photo spots so have your camera ready!
This walk will take you south as you enter the Meatpacking District. This industrial enclave was first reclaimed by the counterculture of the 1980s and soon embraced by New York's elite. Marvel at some of Manhattan's most iconic architectural wonders, including Frank Gehry's dazzling glass curtain design for the IAC Building and the renowned art deco skyscraper, the Empire State Building.
Along the way, your local guide will share the stories of homes lost during New York's real estate boom, architectural gems preserved almost by chance, and a city that’s always reinventing itself. Immerse yourself in this evolving neighborhood, where you can witness firsthand the ever-changing identity of the real New York.
