The area
Address
Neighbourhood: Greenwich Village
Commonly known as “the Village” to New Yorkers, it was here in Greenwich Village that both 1960’s counter culture and the LGBT movement were born. Famous for its bohemian past, head to Washington Square Park to get a feel for this diverse and energetic neighbourhood. You’ll find NYU students, street performers, skateboarders, kids frolicking in the fountain, and locals relaxing and playing chess. Stroll the streets to discover a mix of majestic town homes and hidden bars and restaurants that give this neighbourhood an old-school residential feel. When the sun goes down, check out one of the famous jazz or comedy clubs that still packs them in every night.

- davetheguideTel Aviv, Israel5,633 contributionsGreat walk to explore New York's new urban public space designWe walked the entirety of the High Line from its southernmost starting point all the way to Hudson Yards. We descended once along the way to check out Chelsea Market. This was a highly recommended walk with interesting views of the Hudson River and nearby areas of Manhattan's West Side.Visited November 2022Written 3 December 2022
- Christina ORichland, Washington71 contributionsBeautiful path to some great areas!After reading reviews I was discouraged on coming but so glad I did! Along the wall you come to the vessel/ Hudson yard which has great shopping and beautiful Christmas lights. There is also a serendipity3 frozen hotchocolate outside though it was not open when we were there. They did have a coffee/ hotchocolate cart and a Starbucks nearby. The high line was a nice walk and also lead you to Chelsea’s market. Highly recommend!Visited December 2022Travelled as a coupleWritten 10 December 2022
- Ellen WPhiladelphia, Pennsylvania178 contributionsA popular activity even on a cold dayMy daughter and I walked the entire length of the High Line on a chilly day at the end of November and had a great time. The views are fantastic, whether of the streets below or the landscaping along the trail. We even had a great view of some wonderful murals on buildings along the route.Visited November 2022Written 14 December 2022

- Jeffry bEssendon, Australia13,803 contributionsWalk the High Line above NYCWe walked the High Line from uptown NYC to the Meat Packing district. The High LIne has converted a derelict rail spur into an inner city linear rail trail, with lots of foliage and space to walk. It's wonderful that the ingenuity of NYC's engineers has produced a beautiful garden from an abandoned industrial railway, one that crosses the city from above.Visited November 2022Written 30 December 2022
- Tracy MNottinghamshire, United Kingdom159 contributionsFascinating alternative view of NYCWe headed to the start of the High Line mid-morning on a Sunday and it was not too busy. Really lovely walk, with interesting views of the city (downtown) and of the different areas/apartment buildings. Seems strange to be looking into apartments, but fascinating! I loved visiting Chelsea and the Meatpacking district, and a big shout out to the little diner we found near the end of the High Line called 'Star on 18' - fantastic food / atmosphere, and happily for the family they were showing the World Cup Final (2022) when we arrived.Visited December 2022Written 31 December 2022
- Peter HLeeds, United Kingdom323 contributionsDeservedly Well Rated Free NY ExperienceDeservedly Well Rated Free NY Experience. We visited just after New Year when New York is a little quieter than it might be at other times. The vegetation is dead at this time of year which is to be expected but this must be spectacular in the spring/summer. Lots of amazing views and amusing features and artwork. Recommend you stop at The Edge (after pre-booking tickets). Also worth stopping at Chelsea Market which is another great diversion.Visited January 2023Written 7 January 2023

- reise31,081 contributionsGreat use of spaceThe High Line is an elevated freight rail line on Manhattan’s West Side that was converted into a public park. There’s a variety of public art including sculptures, murals, fountains, etc. There are various access points, is wheelchair accessible, and has limited restrooms along the way. Great place to walk & see the city from a different vantage point.Visited November 2022Travelled with familyWritten 16 January 2023

The High Line in New York City is just awesome! It used to be an old train track, and now it's this cool elevated park full of plants and art. I've been around for a year now, and let me tell you, it's a must-see.

Starting at either end, we started at Hudson Wharf and wales the entire length covering the historic rail system.
Very inventive sculptures and interesting views of New York as well as the opportunity to take a wellness break from the hustle of the New York streets.

Walked this one morning in December and had heard good things about it, however due to the time of year not much was growing and this was a bit of a let down. It was interesting to see different ages of architecture along the route and would be a more spectacular visit in the warmer times of the year when plants were in flower. Easy access to chelsea market which was worth a visit

In this bustling city, you get to escape from the busy streets to this elevated public park. At times the park can get busy with foot traffic. We try to go early morning to experience a quiet calmness in the air.

This was our second time to The High Line and most likely our last for a while to come. Not that there’s anything wrong with that; it is simply quite crowded and to paraphrase, it is a good walk spoiled. Our first visit to The High Line was a few years ago and it was much less crowded. On the first visit we entered at the now closed 34th Street entrance, and since then the northern terminus is now at 30th Street near The Vessel. On this trip we walked the entire length of The High Line down to Chelsea where we had some nice treats before heading down to The Strand and The Village. Is it a cool attraction, absolutely! But the crowds, my goodness, if you are trying to get somewhere you are better off sticking to the Hudson River Greenway! If you have all the time in the world and don’t mind the crowds try The High Line out and know you can get off at multiple locations along the way if it is too slow or crowded!

This became our absolute favorite spot in NYC! This place is just the gem of the city, and we loved strolling on the High Line enjoying both the line itself and the surroundings. There is a unique atmosphere and vibe here that draws you in and makes you want to just keep walking and the line to never end. The High Line is spectacular in its architecture that is both raw and industrial and beautiful and tranquil at the same time. Along the line there are many places to sit and there are restrooms and small cafes. Everything you need for a stroll. We went here in October with the leafs falling, and it made the experience even more beautiful. A must see in NYC!!

Walk towards it. It roughly parallels 10th Ave, and is between 13th st and 30th st. Look for overhead line in greenish gray support strxr. You can climb stairs acess it every block or two. You can incorporate a visit to Meatpacking District, Circle Line Tours, Hudson Yards upscale shopping mall or Chelsea Mkt and breakfast or see old dock where Titanic survivors diembarked from the Carpathea.

Alcuni spazi all'ombra ci sono.... ma gran parte e' al sole. Ti consiglio sicuramente di andarci la sera a fare una passeggiata. Considera pero' che a una certa ora viene chiusa, mi pare alle 23. 00.
