Top of the Rock Observation Deck (Rockefeller Center)
Best time to visit
Visit early on weekday mornings for quieter plazas and unobstructed Top of the Rock views. For holiday atmosphere, go in December evenings to see the tree and skating, but expect heavy crowds.
Budget tips
Walking the plaza, Channel Gardens and public art is free. Top of the Rock observation deck requires a paid ticket, around $40, consider CityPASS or Explorer Pass to save if visiting multiple paid attractions.

About
快速信息: 从观景台望出去，城市的灯海与街道纹理交织成一条流动的画面，夜幕下光影变幻特别能触动人心。分层露台提供360度视角，很多游客都说这里能拍出比其他高处更有层次感的照片，所以建议提前订票以避开人潮。
亮点: 站在第67、69和70层连成的观景平台上，70层还是开放式露台，可以把843英亩的中央公园一路向北和矗立在南方的帝国大厦同时收入镜头，景深像被精确分层一样明显。很多摄影爱好者私下流传一个拍照套路：黄昏前半小时占好角度，把帝国大厦放在画面正中然后用长焦压缩，使街灯和公园的绿色像胶片一帧帧叠加，往往能拍出专业杂志级的夜景。
Insider tips
- Arrive 30–45 minutes before sunset to capture city lights from Top of the Rock.
- Weekday mornings offer cleaner photos of Channel Gardens and fewer people in the plaza.
- Bring a light jacket, rooftop wind can feel colder than street level.
- Book ice-skating or Top of the Rock tickets online in advance during winter holidays to avoid sell-outs.
