ROCKEFELLER CENTER, Rockefeller Center Plaza

The Rockefeller Center Plaza is dominated by the striking Art Deco figure of the Comcast Building, the tallest skyscraper in the complex, at a height of 259 meters. Until 2015, it was called GE Building, in honor of its previous owner, General Electric, and it is still popularly known by this name. On the façade, you can admire the monumental frieze entitled “Wisdom” on which, between the compass needles held by a bearded god, a pearl of wisdom can be read. The skyscraper is, however, best known for its delightful panoramic terrace on the 70th floor: the Top of the Rock.

If you decide to take one of the elevators with a transparent roof, the experience on the way up will leave you in awe: the views are truly striking, especially the view over Central Park and the Empire State Building....
