A poignant NYC tribute honoring victims and heroes of September 11

9/11 Memorial & Museum
Website Directions 212-312-8800

Located at the World Trade Center site, the 9/11 Memorial & Museum stands as a solemn tribute to the lives lost during the September 11, 2001 terror attacks and the 1993 World Trade Center bombing. Outside, twin reflecting pools sit within the footprints of the original Twin Towers, surrounded by bronze panels inscribed with victims' names. Beneath the plaza, the museum displays monumental artifacts, personal stories, and multimedia exhibits documenting the tragic day and its global aftermath.

Quick tip: Reserve your timed-entry tickets online well in advance to avoid long wait times at security.

Expert notes

  • Visit this place on a clear day; the clouds will interfere with the views of the city. Wear dark-colored clothing for your visit; the pictures don't come good with light colors due to the reflective glass of the building. Make sure to check out the new transportation concourse when existing downstairs.
