Let's go to Rockefeller Center! |

47-50 Street Rockefeller Center Station | |
It's more convenient and easy to get to Rockefeller Center by subway. This is because there is a station almost directly below the Rockefeller Center, and the name of the station is "47-50 Street Rockefeller Center", which is the name of "Rockefeller Center". However, the lines of the New York subway are complicated and confused, so there is a high possibility that you will get on a different line. It will be the orange line on the New York subway map below. New York Subway Route Map (ryoko.info)[ I think the lines are B, D, F, and M, but in New York, there are several different lines running on the same line, so don't miss the destination display of the first car. |

Exterior of Rockefeller Center | |
When you get out of the subway station, there is a skyscraper in New York. Similar buildings are crowded. The appearance of Rockefeller Center is a normal square appearance and is featureless and can be difficult to find. Let's remember by looking at the picture below. |
|
However, it is not realistic to remember, so if you give me some tips,
I will first go directly under the building that seems to be the tallest
in the surrounding area. The Rockefeller Center is the building with the
"Top of the Rock" sign on the wall of the Rockefeller Center
observatory. |
|
Rockefeller Plaza | |
I'd like to go to "Top of the Rock" right away, but there is one more highlight of Rockefeller Center besides "Top of the Rock". That is "Rockefeller Plaza". This Rockefeller Plaza is a square just below the building, and the highlight is the golden statue. This statue, which is always included in New York guidebooks, cannot be overlooked. We recommend going around Rockefeller Plaza for a tour. |
|
To Top of the Rock | |
We are finally heading to Top of the Rock. There are several exhibitions and events up to the observatory, which introduces the history of New York, so it will take some time. | |
Top of the rock | |
When you exit the elevator, you will finally reach the observatory. Since it is an observatory of the building, the observation space is large. It's nice to see it through the window, but when I think about photography, I'm worried about reflections. I want to shoot from the outside if possible. When I was looking for it, there was an exit to the outside! I will go immediately. |
|
There was an observatory outside, but ... It's covered in glass. |
|
If I was disappointed, I could go upstairs! From here, you can see New York without glass. |
|
South view | |
First, let's take a look at the main view on the south side. You can see the Empire State Building, which is the most appealing point of Top of the Rock, in front of you with nothing blocking it. Exactly a superb view! |
|
With a telephoto lens, you can even see the Statue of Liberty If you look a little to the right, you can see the Hudson River Empire State Building and Statue of Liberty Zoom to Empire State Building I saw a person at the observatory of the Empire State Building I will look at the left side MetLife Building and Chrysler Building |

North view | |
Compared to the south side, there are few landmark buildings, but there is still plenty of sight to see around Central Park. When it comes to New York, people tend to focus on skyscrapers, but the view is that you can enjoy New York other than the buildings. First of all, please take a look at the large Central Park. |
