New York City Architecture

New York City Architecture -

New York City has a rich architectural history. From the legendary Empire State Building to Tudor City or the brownstones of West Village and everything in between, in New York includes many architectural styles. I always see the building, and with them oooo ahhh but I realized a lot about them know didn, Äôt. A portion of travel is learning the history of the place. It helps to put the city, the people, the buildings into a context. Heading to Paris and see the Eiffel Tower is great, but learning when and why it was built and that originally, the Paris hated it makes the structure come a little more alive.

How to set the landscape of New York in a better context, I have a Context Travel Tour. Context Travel offers historical and cultural tours in cities throughout Europe and the United States. I have their Vatican tour in Rome and was thrilled to take some of their New York tours. Many travel writers I know rave about it and I like the idea of ​​a cultural contrast to sightseeing. My time with them was spent in this way:

My tour lasted 3 hours, although the condensed 3-minute video is only a glimpse into it. You get to learn about the Port Authority, the New York Times Building, Grand Central Terminal, The Chanin Building and the United Nations. All places I couldn, Äôt suit in a video. It wasn, Äôt enough time, and I have cried for filming inside on a very little. (In private buildings, they do not really approve Äôt!) I highly recommend one of these tours. They give you a different perspective on the city and the tour guide knew her stuff. Context rents PhD, AEOS and experts on the tour, AEOS topic. My guide was an architect at one of the city, AEOS big companies.

Regardless of whether you ever go on a Context Tour, I think the idea of ​​what they are doing is important. Context, AEOS mission is to provide deeper knowledge than just the museum display or Website Brochure people. The swings really with me when I think about a place to learn how to see, a place is as important. Many people (myself included) often visit places without ever learning their history. to know the history of the place gives us a deeper and richer understanding where we are, whether that means reading a story book to listen to a podcast, or an architecture tour.
