Free Lower Manhattan Tour

It is here, as much as anywhere, where American history started. It’s where the first US Congress assembled and produced the Bill of Rights and where President George Washington took his first oath of office. It’s here where the world’s most important stock exchange and one of the most famous bridges stand. And it is here where an unspeakable tragedy took place and where a rebirth is underway.

Join Free Tours by Foot as we stroll through the ancient streets of Manhattan’s Financial District and explain the rich history of New York City. From a Dutch trading post to a world financial capital, no stone is left unturned.

• The Charging Bull
• Ellis Island and Statue of Liberty*
• Battery Park
• Federal Hall
• Wall Street
• New York Stock Exchange
