Private Meatpacking District, Chelsea Market, and The Highline Walking Tour
Overview
Escape the crowds of Times Square and explore a different side of Manhattan on this 2-hour small-group walking tour through the High Line, Chelsea, and the Meatpacking District—one of the most dramatically transformed areas of New York City.
Stroll along the elevated park of the High Line, a former railway turned scenic greenway that offers beautiful views of the city and the Hudson River. From there, explore the trendy streets of the Meatpacking District and the vibrant Chelsea, neighborhoods known for their art galleries, restaurants, and striking modern architecture.
Along the way, your guide will share the fascinating story of how this once-industrial waterfront district transformed into one of the city’s most stylish and culturally dynamic destinations.
