The Empire State Building, an iconic landmark of New York City, has been revered since its inception when it first opened its doors to the public in 1931. The building stands 1,250 feet tall and had the title of being the tallest building in the city for 40 years when this title was eclipsed by the construction of the World Trade Center.
The Empire State Building, found in the center of Midtown Manhattan, has 102 floors. The 86th and the 102nd floor have observatories that offer 360° views of New York City. The building is the 5th tallest completed skyscraper in the United States and the 28th tallest building in the world ( 2017 stats). This is a must-visit attraction in New York! In addition to its claim to fame for its observatories, it is also very popular in pop culture and has served as a popular reference in many Hollywood blockbusters.
