The High Line

The High Line is a beautiful elevated walkway that can take you from Chelsea Market to Hudson Yards. It offers gorgeous views of the city and beautiful art. It was winter when we visited so I can only imagine how beautiful it is in the green months. Such a beautiful walk in the city. We absolutely love this area of the city.

Train tracks turned into an art path. This was my second visit. This time was a winters walk. Interesting way to see the artwork without the flowers. Still a great addition to anyone’s list of things to do while visiting New York. There’s both staircases and elevators to get you to the path. Very safe. Well maintained. We were in the Chelsea neighborhood. This was February 2026 and fortunately we were able to see the pigeon display as exited to Penn Station.

This elevated park is such a lovely part of the city and a nice escape from the chaos. The views are also immaculate! The walkway is also narrow so you need to be patient otherwise you risk bumping into others. It could also potentially get really busy depending on the time of the day you go. Also, the transition from the greenery into Hudson Yards is quite stunning!

What an amazing place! An old rail track converted into an elevated walking path. You get to walk looking on one side at the Hudson River and enjoying the architecture of the surrounding buildings. I would love to see it again in the warm season to enjoy the lounge areas and the green! It’s a must-see!

I had been wanting to visit this place for a while. After visiting the Coulée Verte a few years ago and learning that NYC has its own elevated park, I knew it was a must see. I visited on 01/09/2025. Despite the frigid weather, the park felt quiet, peaceful and perhaps more beautiful in its own way. The architecture, seating areas, and views of NYC from multiple angles were impressive. I was pleasantly surprised to end up at Little Island which was another cool spot to explore.

Very cool park and something my wife and I always try and hit when we visit Manhattan! Such a nice job of reusing space and it is very well organized. Definitely worth walking if you’re strolling the city.

The by now iconic High Line park continues to impress. Designed by Diller Scofidio + Renfro, this unique park follows the path of the former elevated freight train line through the West Side and goes all the way from Gansevoort Street to 34th Street. The High Line has spawned some amazing architecture including by Zaha Hadid. Great views of the city and the Hudson River throughout the park. It's particularly beautiful at sunset.

The highline was a great experience. It just gave ideas on how a city could use it's vestigial spaces for making green recreational spaces for the community. A frieght train corridoor has been made into a high line long walk garden corridoor and it is beautiful. It was a long walk giving a view of the Hudson side of Manhattan. The art was very nice too. I went during winters but the Holly was still growing. I am sure the place will be prettier in spring. The community has tried to preserve the native plants on yhe high line. Although.... new york has so many better attractions.
