Our New York City Lights Night Tour allows you to discover the city’s dazzling skyline, its illuminated monuments, and its vibrant evening atmosphere, making it one of the most popular experiences to enjoy NYC from a completely different perspective. We will head to Eleventh Avenue, where we will pass through Hudson Yards and make our first stop at The Vessel, considered a true work of art and one of the most photographed spots on the tour. From there, we will also be able to appreciate the famous Edge building, one of the highest observation decks in New York. We will continue along Twelfth Avenue, skirting the banks of the Hudson River, where from the vehicle we will appreciate iconic areas such as Chelsea Market and Little Island, highlights in any night tour in New York.
We will follow our route until we reach Battery Park, where we will board the Staten Island Ferry to cross the New York Harbor. From there, we will move to the district of Staten Island, from which you can admire the spectacular illuminated horizon of Manhattan, one of the most beautiful postcards in the world, filled with skyscrapers, towers, bridges, and islands that form the most famous skyline on the planet. During the journey, you will also be able to observe the world's greatest emblem of freedom, the Statue of Liberty, an essential nighttime sight for any visitor.
Upon our return, we will stop at Pier 17, where we will enjoy a panoramic night view of Brooklyn, in the same spot where the Titanic was originally scheduled to arrive. This point offers some of the most striking shots of the New York skyline at night. Continuing the journey, we will head toward the base of the Brooklyn Bridge and the DUMBO area, where we will appreciate another perspective of the city at night and capture dreamlike postcards with the illuminated bridges as the protagonists.
Finally, we will cross the Manhattan Bridge, from which you can see the Brooklyn and Williamsburg bridges. We will then pass through the East Village and continue along Second Avenue until we reach the vicinity of the Empire State Building, where the excursion ends at approximately 10:30 p.m., concluding one of the most recommended night tours in New York.
To capture the illuminated skyline with your phone, we recommend using night mode and avoiding the flash, as the latter will only reflect off the vehicle windows or lose detail in the vastness of the landscape. If you are traveling in the fall or spring, remember that the temperature near the river usually drops several degrees due to the wind, so a light jacket will be your best ally. Lastly, we suggest taking this tour at the beginning of your trip to get a general overview of the city's geography, which will help you orient yourself in the following days.
