What To Expect

National Museum of the American Indian

The National Museum of the American Indian is a branch of the esteemed Smithsonian Institute. It features a staggering 800,000 artifacts, ranging from South American gold coins to Inuit whalebone carvings from the Arctic. Anyone interested in anthropology simply must stop here.

Bowling Green

Across from Bowling Green, New York City’s oldest park, you'll find a collection of statues with a long, and sometimes peculiar, history. The land, however, has a much longer history of human habitation, which you'll learn about here.

Charging Bull (Wall Street Bull)

Sculpted in 1989 by Arturo Di Modica, the Charging Bull sculpture is Wall Street's most famous statue, but did you know it was initially placed here illegally? You'll get the full story, as well as the various controversies while admiring this impressive bit of public art.

Fearless Girl

Part symbol of empowerment, part marketing ploy by an asset management company, the Fearless Girl sculpture is a popular new addition to Wall Street's public art. It was once placed directly opposite the Charging Bull, but has since been moved to a permanent place outside the New York Stock Exchange.

Trinity Church

This church dates back over 300 years, but not in its current form. The first two structures were heavily damaged and needed to be rebuilt. The current church was constructed to withstand the test of time, and so far it has passed that test with flying colors.

New York Stock Exchange

The heart of American finance and the world's largest stock exchange by far. About $170 billion pass through this exchange every weekday, but it has surprisingly humble beginnings.

Federal Hall

Behind the impressive pillars of this hall, the American government was born. This is where George Washington was sworn in as the first President of the United States. It's also where the Constitution and the Bill of Rights were ratified.

Red Cube

This huge sculpture is exactly what it sounds like. According to the sculptor, "The cube signifies chance, like the rolling of dice." It's quite a sight up close!

Zuccotti Park

Zuccotti Park served as the heart of the Occupy Wall Street protests in 2011. Protestors tried to maintain a constant presence here as the demonstrations continued day after day. Here, you'll get to revisit that turbulent time and uncover the reasons behind it all.

One World Trade Center

One World Trade Center stands at nearly 1,800 feet, making it the tallest building in the nation. When it was built, this was the most expensive building ever constructed, and it shows. This gleaming symbol of American ambition is a can't-miss landmark.

St. Paul's Chapel

Built in 1766, this is the oldest surviving chapel in Manhattan. It was also frequented by George Washington himself! After the attacks on 9/11, this chapel became a round-the-clock relief center for first responders.

New York City Hall

New York City Hall is one of the oldest and most photogenic city halls in the country. It was designed by an American and a French architect and combines the two nations' distinctive styles in a totally unique way.

Tweed Courthouse

No expense was spared in the construction of this gorgeous courthouse... even when it should have been. Here, you'll get the full story on the corruption scandal behind this picturesque structure.

Brooklyn Bridge

Dating back to 1883, the Brooklyn Bridge is an essential New York landmark you'll definitely want to photograph. Your tour concludes here.

Hard to follow the map-doesn’t correlate well with the tour. Very frustrating. Wouldn’t recommend it. Ended early.

Hi Alexis, I’d love to know more about where the map was wrong. As the writer (and actual Manhattan resident), I’ve walked the route many, many times and I’d love to hear from you so I can adjust anything that’s confusing!
