When to visit The Edge?

Whether it’s day or night, each time you visit is a different experience.

The morning is very pleasant as the place is less crowded. A visit at sunset, on the other hand, is much more intense, although the attraction is full of people at that time. However, the best way to see the sunset is to book an hour in advance. That way you can do it in peace. The Edge Observation Deck is a new must-see attraction on your trip to New York. Take advantage of it now and book your tickets directly online to get the best prices.
