Visiting New York City and looking for the ultimate skyline view? See the Empire State Building from the air, as a 1,454-foot Art Deco spire standing in the dense forest of Midtown rather than as a wall of limestone from the street.
Helicopter tours follow the Hudson, so you see the tower from the river, not by flying directly over it. From that angle the stepped silhouette, the observation decks, and the antenna that lights up at night are unmistakable, with Central Park in the distance to the north and the harbor to the south.
Golden hour and after dark are the most striking, when the spire becomes a beacon against the rest of Midtown.
Fly Over The World’s 12–30 minute New York helicopter tours include this view together with the Statue of Liberty, the Brooklyn Bridge, and the Hudson River skyline. Choose your date in the booking widget.
