Historic Sites of Lower Manhattan

Strolling through this beautiful old district of the Big Apple, you can trace much of the city’s unique history through the sites you’ll see today. Beginning with Battery Park and historic Castle Clinton, your guide will tell NYC’s story as you explore the famous landmarks that characterize the neighborhood.

This is where men like Alexander Hamilton laid the foundations of a nation, and you’ll visit some of the most important sites from that era, including Federal Hall and Trinity Church.

Wall Street and Modern Horizons

Wall Street and the New York Stock Exchange have brought huge wealth and controversy to Lower Manhattan since the early 19th century, and you’ll see the grand buildings where huge financial decisions take place every day. Before you arrive, you'll have already stopped for a photo next to the famous Charging Bull statue that symbolizes this vital part of the city. And you'll find out why it's not actually located on Wall Street!

Ground Zero and the 9/11 Memorials

Moving into more modern times, admire the massive Freedom Tower and Zuccotti Park where Occupy Wall Street began their protests, as well as some hidden gems that even some locals don’t know about. Of course, you also can't miss the unique Oculus nearby that's an eye-catching display of more modern architecture.

The September 11 attacks in 2001 were one of the greatest tragedies in United States’ history, and the site where the disaster unfolded is now home to the 9/11 Memorial Plaza where thousands come to pay their respects every day. Your tour of Ground Zero will leave a lasting impression as you hear personal stories from someone who lived through that fateful day in NYC. Take a moment to reflect as you visit both the official memorial pools, gardens, and the moving FDNY firefighters’ memorial.
