Welcome to NY and the famous Rockefeller Center, home to the most iconic landmarks in the world. This in-app audio tour will take you on a journey through the memorable sights of Rockefeller Center, letting you explore the area at your own pace. Dive into the history of the place at 30 Rock and Radio City Hall. Here you will learn about the glorious old days when Rockefeller Plaza was the most up-to-date business center. Find out about the scandal between Rockefeller Family and Diego Rivera. The tour will then lead you to the Rockefeller Plaza inner squares. You will be astonished by the famous statues of Prometheus and Atlas and the less-known hidden gems of Art Deco. Additional information about art is told in both humorous and academic ways. From there, you will be guided to the best photo place of the Rockefeller Center — Channel Gardens and learn the history of its name. To complement the main story, you will see the flamboyant St. Patrick Cathedral — a monumental building in gothic style. In the end, you will listen to a music story about the most popular Christmas song (Carol of the Bells) and finish at Bryant park. It is a less crowded place with a skating rink and Christmas shops where locals spend their time. Book your tour now, and experience the Christmas magic of the Rockefeller Center!
