This futuristic transportation hub and shopping center stands as a testament to the city’s unwavering spirit, bringing together people from all walks of life in a vibrant hub of connectivity.

Next, pay homage to the brave souls at the FDNY Memorial at Engine 10/Ladder 10, the closest fire station to Ground Zero. Hear compelling stories of bravery and self-sacrifice, as your guide paints a vivid picture of the firefighters’ heroic response on that fateful day.

The journey continues to the World Trade Center site, where you’ll visit the 9/11 Memorial. The Reflecting Absence twin pools, set within the footprints of the original towers, offer a solemn tribute to the lives lost, while your guide explains the powerful symbolism woven into this sacred space.
