11. The Rockefeller Centre
Tourists almost never miss out on Rockefeller Center when planning their list of itineraries. It is really just a vast shopping and entertainment center that offers everything a tourist looks forward to. The center of attraction of this place is the 70 stories tall 30 Rockefeller Plaza. The plaza is a skyscraper that hosts three observation decks that let you get a 360 degrees view of the mesmerizing city down. If you get by to visit New York in the cold months, you may enjoy the outdoor skating rink that attracts millions of thousands of tourists every year. Perhaps the most enjoyable and iconic sight is after Thanksgiving when a gigantic tree of Christmas is erected in front of the rink and sets the mood for the holiday season.
The Rockefeller Centre continues to be a historical landmark for the City. The creator, John D. Rockefeller, dreamt of making something that would be a city within a city. Over time, his dream was realized, and every day, something new keeps adding to the City. The center also hosts a number of artistic articles that signify humanity’s obsession with art, sculpture, and spirit. There are several iconic sculptures that sit in the center, which lures the photographers in. Adding more to the immaculate complex, there are several gardens, exhibitions, and public and private dinners that would really make you redefine the words complex.
