Woolworth Building
Website Directions 212-233-2720

Completed in 1913, the Woolworth Building is one of New York City's most famous early skyscrapers. Nicknamed the 'Cathedral of Commerce,' it features a striking neo-Gothic design and an extravagantly detailed lobby. Because it operates as a commercial office and residential building, travelers should view the grand exterior from City Hall Park or reserve a guided architectural tour to explore inside.

Quick tip: Book an official guided tour in advance to view the ornate interior, as general public walk-in entry to the lobby is restricted.

Expert notes

  • The building is closed to the public. The only way to see the building is to buy a guided tour. Children under the age of 10 are not allowed for the guided tour.
