Those with a head for heights can now enjoy a new, very special view of New York. A new glass viewing platform has opened on the “One Vanderbilt” skyscraper.
Mirrors ensure that visitors can really experience the view from all angles. A glass elevator that runs up the outside of the building transports the brave to a height of over 360 meters.
The platform, which opened on Thursday, offers a panoramic view over the metropolis, art installations, outdoor terraces and a glass elevator on three floors. As if designed for Instagram, silver balls fly in front of the skyline, or visitors and the sea of houses are reflected in all directions. Ticket prices start at around 35 euros.
Even at the opening, hundreds of visitors streamed into the skyscraper, most of them New Yorkers or tourists from other parts of the USA. For people from many other countries around the world, including Germany as part of the EU, the corona pandemic has been subject to a far-reaching entry ban since March 2020.
From November 8th, entry will be allowed again and many in the New York tourism industry, which has suffered massively from the entry ban, can no longer wait.
