Activity itinerary

The Oculus
  • 20m
Be astonished by a large transport hub inside an outstanding building, designed by Spanish architect Santiago Calatrava, resembling a white dove in flight. The hub is located near the 9/11 memorial, and it welcomes those visiting the World Trade Centre. There is a huge mall and shopping opportunities inside this awe-inspiring structure.
Downtown Jersey City, New Jersey - Waterfront 9/11 Memorial - #8
  • 30m
Cross the river by train to get to the Waterfront 9/11 Memorial. Stroll along the river while admiring stunning views and listening to the insights from your local guide about the tragic events of 9/11. Dive deeper into the history and discover some facts about the American Revolution, in which New Jersey played a central role both politically and militarily. Take pictures from the public pier at Exchange Place, Jersey City. Feel the vibe of this inspirational venue, a lovely location overlooking one of America’s greatest visual vistas.
Historic Jersey City & Harsimus Cemetery
  • 30m
Learn more about the history of Jersey City as you wander around the historic centre, marvelling at the restored area, which was the busiest rail passenger hub in America back in the 1890s. Be fascinated by the renovated facades of townhouses that are waiting to be captured by your camera lens while you walk and stop by beautiful coffee shops and stores. Admire the calm oasis among the concrete jungle as you enter the cemetery and stroll along the headstones, reading the inscriptions from the 1800s.
Newport Centre
  • 15m
Newport Centre is a big shopping centre near the Holland Tunnel, the world’s first automatically ventilated underwater tunnel and the longest underwater tunnel for vehicular traffic at the time of its opening in 1927. Following the 9/11 attacks, the Holland Tunnel remained closed to everyone except for emergency traffic for over a month.
Jersey City
  • 40m
Walk around to see nine of the tallest buildings in New Jersey, with their relatively new history. Previously bccupied by rail yards and plants, the city’s development in the 1980s marked a renaissance for Jersey City. Fast growth and the construction of highrises increased population and led to the appearance of one of the largest financial centers in the United States.
Hoboken
  • 40m
Get to see the city of Hoboken and walk along the Hoboken Waterfront Walkway to enjoy more beautiful views of the NYC skyline and the Hudson River. Discover the gorgeous building of Hoboken Terminal, Lackawanna Station, constructed in 1907, with its clocktower and iconic arches. The station is considered an important stage of transport development in America, combining different means with innovative design at the time.
