Walk in NYC # 2, the essentials of Lower Manhattan

This self-guided walk is the second of my four favorites for introducing the city to newcomers. It explores the main attractions of Lower Manhattan, the One World Tower, the Statue of Liberty seen from afar, some churches, the Stock Exchange, etc.

It is a quasi-loop that will require you to walk for 2 hours while strolling and taking photos, much more if you do all the visits and not far from a day if you also take the ferries to Staten Island, Ellis Island and Liberty Island.

NB: if you have not already done so on another site, you can read the philosophy and general content of this itinerary by opening the “About the walks” link above or below.
