    One World Trade Center is a masterfully designed building and a symbol of resilience and resolve. I'd recommend this site as a follow on to the 9/11 Memorial. It shows first the pain then the triumph

    President Obama reviews the site from the 22nd floor and signs one of the final steel beams that will be added to the tower with the message: "We remember. We rebuild. We come back stronger!" Read more

    Absolutely worth it going all the way up if it’s a clear day: can’t beat the view. We’ve also upgraded to the iPad experience, found out some interesting tidbits about the most famous landmarks 👍🏻

    Don't miss walking around the beautiful subterranean structures designed by Spanish architect Calatrava before his above ground Oculus is completed.

    WTC is a very special place and it touched my heart and soul when I was there to visit this place for myself. I will never forget about 9/11 and the wonderful people who lost their lives.

    Maybe one of the best skydecks in the world, because of the production and view. You can really feel vertigo in the 360 panoramic route. The only negative point? $21.5 for a Jack&Coke... come on!

    The memorial is done very well and quite is quite touching seeing the names of the people who died there. It is an important place to visit when in NY.

    Buy tickets online if you want to skip the first line. Buy directly from venue otherwise. Great experience and views. Everything is neat and clean and organized.

    Honestly this is great. You really get value for your money, the experience starts already in the elevator and finds its climax on the 100th floor where you have a spectacular view

    This place is breathtaking. It's the tallest building in America. The observation deck is set to open in the spring and I can't wait to do it. Amazing building!

    If you look at the new 1 World Trade Center building from the center of one side standing at the base, it looks like a very tall pyramid #911memorial

    The city's tallest building will open to tenants in 2014, with publishing giant Conde Nast occupying more than a million square feet. The observation deck won't open to the public until 2015 - Curbed

    The building is great, the all-white subway corridor is worth instagramming, the view is breathtaking, but you'll be behind glass, so photos will likely feature lots of lights reflections

    The One World Observatory experience will include a trip up to the building's highest floors, a 1,250-foot climb which will only take 60 seconds in the building's special Sky Pod elevators.

    Get tickets online. Go off peak. A silly system of lining up outside for tickets and then going back outside (in the freezing cold) and getting back in line with your ticket. Seriously?

    The Tower is being built. Clouds cover the unbuilt portion, so this photo gives a good Gestalt-type idea of what it will look like.

    Don't go to the observatory deck. The Empire State or the Top of the Rock have a better view. Nevertheless it's a great modern building
