Free Lower Manhattan Walking Tour

It is here, as much as anywhere, where American history started.  It's where the first US Congress assembled and produced the Bill of Rights and where President George Washington took his first oath of office. It's here where the world's most important stock exchange and one of the most famous bridges stand. And it is here where an unspeakable tragedy took place and where a rebirth is underway.

Join NYC by Foot as we stroll through the ancient streets of Lower Manhattan and begin to explain the rich history of New York City.  From a Dutch trading post to a world financial capital, no stone is left unturned.

 Sites we cover on the tour:

  • Ellis Island and Statue of Liberty
  • Fort Amsterdam and Castle Clinton
  • Customs Building
  • Bowling Green and the Charging Bull
  • Federal Hall
  • Wall Street and New York Stock Exchange
  • Trinity Church (Alexander Hamilton's Grave)
  • St. Paul's Chapel
  • Ground Zero
  • Woolworth Building
  • City Hall
  • Brooklyn Bridge
  • Fraunces Tavern
  • and much more!
