Walk the elevated High Line rail-trail with a private architect guide, then explore the sculptural Hudson Yards development and climb inside Vessel, New York's extraordinary honeycomb staircase. A deeply New York experience that blends art, urban design and living culture.
What to expect
Your expert guide meets you at the Gansevoort Street entrance to the High Line and walks north through award-winning gardens and site-specific art installations. At Hudson Yards, you'll discuss the most ambitious private real-estate development in US history before ascending Vessel's 154 flights of interconnected stairs for a jaw-dropping 360° city view. The walk is unhurried and punctuated by thoughtful conversation.
Good to know
The High Line's southern entrance is a 10-minute walk from Pier 88. Vessel timed-entry tickets (free) should be reserved in advance at hudsonyards.com. The full walk takes 3–3.5 hours; comfortably done before a 5 pm all-aboard.
