Top of the Rock – The Best View of New York’s Skyline

#summervacay The Top of the Rock Observation Deck at Rockefeller Center offers one of the most iconic 360° panoramic views of New York City. Located atop the Rockefeller Center complex—a “city within a city” consisting of 19 buildings built during the Great Depression—it stands as both an architectural and cultural landmark. From here, you can enjoy sweeping views of Central Park to the north and the Empire State Building to the south, making it one of the only places where you can see the Empire State in your skyline photos. The observation deck spans three floors (67th, 69th, and 70th), with a mix of indoor and open-air spaces. The 70th floor offers the clearest views with no glass, just open air and safety railings. Sunset is the best time to visit—watch the city glow from daylight to dazzling night. #newyorkcity #topoftherock #rockefellercenter #nycskyline #empirestateview #centralparkview
