This stylish old railway station was first built in 1851 and named the 'Station of Noon'. A fire later destroyed a large part of its structure and it was rebuilt in iron. The splendid architecture is very grand and the beautiful building is generally considered a work of art. You'll love it here.

Humayun's Tomb is a beautiful building with double domes, high archways and was built by Humayun's loving widow when he had an unlikely accident on the stairs of the library that brought him to an early death. He was a good and charismatic ruler and this structure set the stage for other Mughal architectural designs. Nearby, you can shop for brass wear, jewelry, Indian hand crafts, curios and clothing as well as see other burial sites.

The Empire State Building used to be the world's tallest building. It no longer holds that designation, but it still is one extremely impressive structure and is the tallest building in the city of New York. Going to the top of the observation deck affords you the most spectacular views of New York City's five boroughs and the surrounding states of Connecticut and New Jersey. You can truly appreciate the vastness of the greatest city on earth when you're up almost 1/4 mile in the sky. The Empire State Building stands on magnificent Fifth Avenue, and is walking distance from the theater and garment districts, plus some of the best shopping in all of New York City. A trip to New York is not complete without a trip to the observation deck.
