World Trade Center Skyline
The Lower Manhattan skyline on a live webcam, One World Trade Center from Hudson sunrise to city lights.
About this view
One World Trade Center, at 541 metres the tallest building in the Western Hemisphere, anchors this view over Lower Manhattan, the Hudson and the harbor beyond. It is the contemplative New York cam: less neon, more sky.
The light show here is natural. Sunrise hits the tower's glass chamfers and splits into colours; storms coming up the coast make for dramatic time-lapse weather; and on September 11th each year the Tribute in Light sends twin beams into the night sky from this skyline.
Ferries and helicopters cross this live webcam's frame all day. For the best watching, try the hour around sunset when the financial district switches from glass to lights.
