Wall Street

Regardless of your knowledge of NewYork, you likely heard of Wall Street, the eight-block-long financial district city. Combining unskippable historic sights with modern financial buildings, this iconic street is a must-see for every visitor of the city. Although it’s no longer open to the public after the 9/11 events, New York Stock Exchange is the world’s largest stock exchange, so it still attracts thousands of tourists every year. Charging Bull is another major landmark of the street. This bronze sculpture was built by  Arturo Di Monica as a way to symbolize optimism after the large stock crash in 1986. 

If you want to further explore the history of Wall Street and the city, visit the Federal Hall National Memorial and the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, that manages the US financial system and offers interesting guided tours. If you’re looking for the best shopping experience in the area, visit the popular Century 21, and to get away from the crowds check out the Stone Street Historic District, one of the oldest streets in New York City that also offers plenty of dining opportunities.
