St. Patrick's Cathedral

Truly an engineering wonder and a dedication to what’s important to many. But beyond the intricate stonework and towering spires, there’s something else you feel when you step inside—a stillness. A presence. A quiet awe that kind of hushes the noise of the city outside. It’s easy to get caught up in the beauty of the architecture (and it is stunning), but what stood out most to me was the atmosphere. Whether you're spiritual or not, there’s a grounding energy in this space—something peaceful and humbling. It’s the kind of place that makes you reflect without even trying. The craftsmanship alone is worth the visit. The stained glass, the detailed altars, the overall symmetry—it's a masterclass in design and reverence. If you're visiting NYC, this isn't just a tourist stop—it’s a pause. A moment. A reminder of what faith, art, and dedication can create when they come together. --- Hugo’s Take: 🟢 Not a one-and-done. A powerful space of beauty and reflection. Vibe: 10/10 Value: Free to enter, but spiritually priceless Presence: 10/10

Even if you aren’t Catholic I suggest going to mass to see this place being used in the format for which it was built. I’ve been to major futbol stadiums in Europe and you’re always stunned by the size, but the fullest experience comes from seeing it full of people, unified on a single thing. In this case, it’s the Eucharist, but don’t worry - you don’t have to take communion, and if you’re not Catholic you shouldn’t - so just stay in your pew and enjoy the music.

LOVED IT !!! can’t wait to Come back here in the future and enjoy a long weekend! Just went for a few hours but I loved it. It’s very cold !! So wear gloves and extra layers ! Beyond beautiful! As a truck driver I visit a different cathedral every week but this one had my jaw on the floor. How beautiful, how clean. The Sunday mass was beyond beautiful! I hope to someday bring my parents to this church. The liturgy was so beautiful. So many cute gifts to buy as well! The work on how beautiful this church is is beyond amazing. So many details, so much beauty to take in !

Oh, this church is amazingly beautiful. The outside, the inside, everything is gorgeous. I think the designated areas are a beautiful touch. Craftsmanship and design are applause worthy for those involved. The statues the artwork the windows everything is beautiful. Didn't get to do mass but had the pleasure of walking around and time to look at everything. The virgen de Guadalupe area was pretty. Def the prettiest church I been to.

St. Patrick’s Cathedral in Manhattan is a stunning Neo-Gothic Roman Catholic church located on Fifth Avenue. Completed in 1878, it features soaring spires, intricate stained glass, and a serene interior. As a spiritual and architectural landmark, it draws millions of visitors and worshippers each year, symbolizing faith amid urban grandeur.

Such a beautiful space, intricately designed to be set apart as a place to worship God. Everything designed to point to Him and remind each person of His sacrifice, His gifts, and the deeds of some of the giants in the faith that have come before us. Awe inspiring

Very beautiful church located close to Times square. When we visited they had a service going on for the pope that just passed away. It was beautiful to see the inside of the church and all the monuments and decor.

A beautiful cathedral and so iconic. Located on 5th Avenue and just stunning architecture. We visited early on a Tuesday morning and were delighted that it was open and we were able to enter. No queue we were just able to walk straight in and not too busy It's such a beautiful building inside and out. A definite must see
