This article will give you a sneak peek into what’s inside the Empire State Building, its most remarkable features, and inform you of what to expect on your visit to New York City’s most spectacular landmark.

Visitor Tips

• Although tickets to the Empire State Building have no fixed time limit, people usually spend about 1 to 2 hours at the location. 
• Do not arrive with heavy luggage as the building does not have any lockers for storage purposes. 
• If possible, plan your visit during the weekdays as the Empire State Building becomes a tourist magnet over the weekends. If you want to beat the crowds, the best time is in the morning at 10 AM or in the afternoon at around 3 PM. 
• You can enter the building and admire the Art Deco-styled lobby free of cost without purchasing a ticket to the observation deck.  
• Carry a city map along with you to help you identify all the landmarks from the observation deck.
• No matter the outside weather, make sure to bring along a jacket or a long coat as it can get surprisingly cold and windy at the top.  
• There are no restrooms beyond the 2nd floor, so use the services before heading to the top.
