With this 2-hour walk, we will be able to discover some of the most important sites around the Financial District including a visit to the 9/11 Memorial. It's a perfect tour to combine history, curiosities and more.

What to visit in the Financial District

Some of the oldest buildings in New York City are here ... The legendary Fraunces Tavern where George Washington bid goodbye to his troops, The Federal Hall National Monument right on Wall Street where he was sworn in as 1st President of the United States, two of the oldest Churches we have -- Trinity Church and St. Paul Church & much more!

But not only History, the Financial District is the symbol of New York economic power with the famous New York Stock Exchange right on Wall Street. From Wall Street, we will walk by The Bull and the fearless girl who challenges him. The new sculpture was placed here on International Women's Day on March 8th creating some problems in New York City with a litigation brought forward by the sculptor and creator of the Bull - Arturo Di Modica.

During our walk around FiDi, we will have the opportunity to stop for photos and videos and recounts interesting past and present anecdotes.
