Rockefeller Center Pairs Christmas Traditions With Art
Explore a sprawling Manhattan landmark through its sculpture, soaring towers, and seasonal holiday spectacle.
🗽 Beyond the Tree
Rockefeller Center has a way of pulling your gaze upward. Stone towers frame the plaza, and a bronze figure holds a ringed globe against rows of illuminated windows. The Christmas tree is part of the seasonal picture, alongside the ice rink.
There is plenty beyond that holiday frame. This Midtown complex spans 22 acres and 19 buildings, bringing public art, television studios, and an observation deck into one sprawling stop. Head to 45 Rockefeller Plaza for the landmark itself, then keep Top of the Rock in mind for skyline views.
Give the architecture a closer look between the big photo moments. The sculpture and vertical lines hold their own beside the seasonal spectacle.
