There are plenty of things to experience around the wall street area in Lower Manhattan. Here are five must-see spots:
- The New York Stock Exchange (NYSE)
The NYSE building is one of the most iconic financial institutions in the world. While you can’t go inside unless you’re a member, you can still admire the grand exterior with its classical architecture. - Federal Hall
Just steps away from Wall Street, Federal Hall is a historic site where George Washington was sworn in as the first President of the United States. The building also houses exhibits related to American history and government. - Charging Bull and Fearless Girl Statue
Located just south of Wall Street, the Charging Bull is a symbol of Wall Street and the strength of the American economy. Nearby, the Fearless Girl statue stands in defiance, symbolizing the push for gender equality in business. Both are iconic photo spots. - Trinity Church
This stunning Gothic Revival church sits at the intersection of Wall Street and Broadway. It’s one of the oldest churches in New York, with beautiful stained-glass windows, intricate carvings, and a peaceful cemetery. - Battery Park and the Statue of Liberty Ferry
Just a short walk from Wall Street, Battery Park offers lovely views of the Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island.
