Once a railroad track, today it is one of the most breathtaking parks, offering a perfect escape for those seeking free things to do in NYC in the fall. The 1.45-mile elevated green space provides stunning views of the city and the Hudson River, along with well-maintained gardens, multiple art installations, and food vendors. It is beautiful year-round, but in fall, as the leaves change color and create a striking contrast with the urban landscape, it radiates even more charm.

You can access the High Line from various points, but we recommend starting your journey from the Vessel at Hudson Yards and gradually making your way to the Edge, the highest outdoor observation deck in the Western Hemisphere.

My tip: There is also a free guided walking tour from September til October – check out the events page here.
