I can't believe there is a "spot" on Tripadvisor to "rate" the Manhattan Skyline. Anyhow, it is simply awesome. If you ever make it to New York, this is a "must see". you can go over to LIC and get an awesome view of it as well. Every time something new.

The classic wonderful view both day and night. Take a cruise around the island of Manhatten to see it at its best. Brilliant.

An amazing view, we took the subway to Clark Street and walked down to enjoy the sunset. As the sun is setting behind the buildings they all appear in silhouette. If we had more time, we would have worked out how to get to Hoboken across the Hudson River, to watch the sunset from that side, as the sun would... More

Whether walking on Brooklyn bridge on a velvety sunset, or late at night , climbing up the top of the Rock on a bright sunny day or taking the Staten Island ferry at dawn back to Manhattan, the skyline is absolutely mesmerizing. Walk on the High Line (a garden created on an repurposed train line as a linear park) if... More

Saw the famous Manhattan skyline from the Circle Line boat trip. It was truly amazing and everything that you see on TV etc. This was my first trip to New York and I loved every minute.

How fantastic is that instead of destroying something it was transformed into an area where family and friends can enjoy a fantastic and beautiful walk around an area which used to be industrial and unloved. Please take the time to travel there and walk around this skyline route. The diversity of people there alone will keep you entertained.

There are so many great spots to view the Manhattan sklyine, but within the city, from across the East River and from the water. My favorite view is from the Brooklyn side of the Brooklyn Bridge. From within the city, I'd recommend the Top of the Rock because you can get the Empire State Building in your picture. Also the... More
