From Gilded Age mansions and legendary hotels to world-famous entertainment venues and architectural masterpieces, uncover the stories behind one of the world’s most iconic streets.

Begin at Grand Army Plaza, the gateway to Central Park, and explore the legacy of Cornelius Vanderbilt II, whose magnificent Gilded Age mansion once stood along Fifth Avenue. See the Pulitzer Fountain and the iconic Plaza Hotel before continuing through Manhattan’s most glamorous addresses.

Walk along Fifth Avenue and hear the stories behind famous landmarks including Tiffany & Co., the Crown Building, Billionaire’s Row, Trump Tower, Fifth Avenue Presbyterian Church, The Peninsula, and The St. Regis. Discover the people, events, and moments that shaped this legendary avenue.

Continue into Midtown’s entertainment district with stops connected to New York’s cultural history, including City Center Theater, the world of Broadway impresario Florenz Ziegfeld, and the legendary Ed Sullivan Theater, where icons such as Elvis, The Beatles, David Letterman, and Stephen Colbert made history.

Admire some of Manhattan’s most impressive architectural treasures, including the Museum of Modern Art, St. Thomas Church, the Cartier Mansion, and St. Patrick’s Cathedral, before reaching the grand finale at Rockefeller Center.

Learn the story behind this Art Deco masterpiece and its creation during the Great Depression before ascending 850 feet to Top of the Rock Observation Deck. Enjoy breathtaking 360° views of Manhattan’s skyline, Central Park, and the surrounding rivers from all three observation levels, including the open-air rooftop deck.

For an unforgettable photo opportunity, upgrade to The Beam Experience and recreate the iconic 1932 “Lunch Atop a Skyscraper” moment as you rise above the city skyline.
