Edge NYC & High Line: Guided Walking Tour + Sky Deck Ticket
+8
About this tour
This guided walking tour works its way through Manhattan's west side, starting at Little Island and passing the Meatpacking District, Chelsea Market, and the elevated High Line park before finishing at Hudson Yards. Along the way your English-speaking guide fills in how these neighborhoods went from industrial waterfront to some of the city's busiest blocks. The tour wraps up with entry to Edge NYC, the open-air sky deck on the 100th floor of 30 Hudson Yards, where you're free to take in the 360-degree views at your own pace.

Good to Know Before Your Edge NYC Visit
The walking tour ends at Edge NYC, the open-air observation deck that pushes out from the 100th floor of 30 Hudson Yards, roughly 1,100 feet above the street. Because the platform angles outward from the building, you're standing past the edge of the tower with Manhattan, the Hudson River, Central Park, and the skyline running south toward Lower Manhattan laid out around you. A glass-floor section lets you look straight down to the ground, and the angled glass walls lean out so you can stand right up against them. On clear days the view reaches past Manhattan to parts of New Jersey and Brooklyn. There's a small champagne bar if you want a drink while you take it in, and most people spend under an hour on the deck, longer if they linger. The platform sits high enough that wind is a real factor, so a jacket is worth bringing even in milder weather.
Edge NYC is open daily, generally from 09:00 to 21:00 with last entry around 20:00, though hours can shift for holidays or special events, so it's worth checking before you go. The deck sits in the same complex as the Vessel and the Shops at Hudson Yards. The easiest way to reach the meeting area is the 7 subway line to the 34th Street-Hudson Yards station, a short walk from the entrance, with several bus lines and ride-share options serving the area too. Entry is timed and ticketed, and sunset slots are the most popular, so arriving a little before your window keeps things smooth.
