Best One World Trade Center Tours in May

Also known as Freedom Tower, this 1,776-foot tall skyscraper is the tallest building in the United States and the main structure for the new World Trade Center complex. After the 9/11 terrorist attacks destroyed the original World Trade Center Twin Towers located south of the new site, a plan to rebuild in memoriam of the tragedy was developed and construction began in 2006 with steel from the original building placed in the base. The 104-story One World Trade Center designed by David M. Childs has office space, retail stores, restaurants and an observation deck. A bronze monument dedicated to the response of military special forces members after September 11 stands in front of the building.
