Rockefeller Center

At the heart of Manhattan's tourist core stands the ambitious Rockefeller Center, an iconic complex of buildings that has left an indelible mark on New York's history and culture. Since its opening in 1933, this center has witnessed historic moments and captivated millions of visitors with its stunning architecture and fun activities.

One of the most popular is its famous skating rink. During the months of November through April each year, the square is transformed into a wonderful ice rink that attracts locals and tourists alike.

Surrounded by twinkling lights and the majesty of skyscrapers, you'll feel like you're in a movie as you glide across the ice or sip a drink overlooking the rink.

Another option for visitors is the famous "Top of the Rock," a 70-story observation deck on the Comcast Building. From here, you can enjoy spectacular panoramic views of the city that never sleeps. The glass elevator takes you quickly to the top, and from there you can admire the vastness of Central Park, the iconic Empire State Building and the imposing One World Trade Center. It's worth it both day and night, and you're allowed to take photos and film.
