One World Trade Center, New York

One World Trade Center view from the 125 Greenwich Street skyscraper

One World Trade Center (also known as One World TradeOne WTC, and formerly Freedom Tower)  is the main building of the rebuilt World Trade Center complex in Lower Manhattan, New York City. In American units, the tower is 1776 feet high, an emblematic figure because it pays homage to the date of the declaration of independence of the United States.The number of tickets is limited by scheduled turns, which means, that visitors must buy their tickets in advance. If not, the waiting line can be several hours long. To avoid wasting time in boring and exhausting queues, we recommend you pre-book  your tickets.

Also located directly on Ground Zero is the 9/11 Museum and Memorial. The museum documents the 2001 terrorist attack and features 10,000 artifacts and interviews with 2,000 eyewitnesses.

The combined or all-inclusive ticket gets you through security and into one of the elevators faster, so the extra cost is worth it if you’re short on time or patience. Tickets for the One World Observatory are included in the city tickets Sightseeing Pass NYC & Flex and FreeStyle Pass, which is worthwhile when visiting various attractions in the city. This can be combined with a visit to the Statue of Liberty and the Ellis Island Immigration Museum.
