Visted New York during the summer in July 2023, and went on to the One World Trade Center (where it used to be the Twin Tower) and their observatory. We also went inside the tower to discover the history of 9/11 and their background stories behind the attack, and we would look around at their exhibitions (for both 9/11 and The Pentagons).
Standing as a shining beacon for the new Downtown, and a bold addition to the skyline, One World Trade Center is safe, sustainable, and artistically dynamic. Soaring to a symbolic 1,776 feet — it is the Western Hemisphere’s tallest building, and already an iconic New York landmark.
