The Highlights of the High Line
Vue d'ensemble
Duration: 90 Minutes
In the 1990s, the High Line was a hulking urban ruin set for demolition. Today it’s one of Manhattan’s prettiest and most innovative city parks. This tour immerses you in the story of how local residents, architects, business people, and city planners turned a down-and-out section of NYC into one of its most vibrant.
In the company of our guide, you’ll stroll down a section of the High Line, passing street art, beautiful city views, and restored patches of the original railroad tracks. As you go, you’ll also see attractions like the world-famous Chelsea Market, the warehouses-turned glitzy bars of the Meatpacking District, and the area’s newest development jewel, the Hudson Yards.
