Come live the American dream at the top of the Empire State Building in New York, one of the tallest skyscrapers in the world.
 

The Empire State Building from Manhattan to New York is one of the symbols of the economic power of the United States. This building, which rises to 381 meters in height, not counting its antenna, has 102 floors. At the 86th, you can enjoy a stunning view of the city from the top of its observatory. Built in an Art Deco style, the building is mostly sophisticated inside, thanks in particular to its large hall, with a height equivalent to that of three floors, and decorated with marble and aluminum relief. The Empire State Building is a must-see in New York, so much so that it has hosted many world-famous movie scenes.
