Bu etkinlik hakkında

Walk New York City’s High Line, an elevated park built on an abandoned elevated railway, with a self-guided audio tour that plays automatically as you go. Starting in the Meatpacking District and heading north to Hudson Yards, you’ll follow the full route while stories unfold around you. Along the way, you'll pass landmarks like the Whitney Museum, Chelsea Market, Little Island, and the Vessel, while learning how this abandoned rail line became one of the city’s most innovative public spaces. You’ll also uncover the architecture, design, and urban changes that reshaped Manhattan’s west side. Explore at your own pace—pause for photos, stop for food, or take in the views. The audio resumes whenever you’re ready, so you never feel rushed. This is a self-guided experience (no in-person guide). Download the tour in advance and use it anytime—it works offline and follows your location along the route.
