Quote: This is one thing everyone has to see in their lifetime. It is so heartbreaking when you see all the letters from loved ones on a wall just outside the area of Ground Zero. They have a tall fence up so you can't get inside at all, but you are... Read the full World Trade Center Site review

Quote: The site of where the Twin Towers once were is a truly humbling experience. Of all the noisy streets in New York City, this is almost completely quiet.

Ground Zero
Quote: Ground Zero is a very special place for very obvious reasons. Our hotel overlooked the site, so we walked past it often during our stay. Whilst we were there, it was the third anniversary of 9/11, so Ground Zero had even more poignancy. As you... Read the full World Trade Center Site review

Quote: We pulled into the station from New Jersey that is right below Ground Zero. It was an amazing sight and such a somber part of the trip. We walked the perimeter of the site, and the sheer size of it takes your breath away. Memorials were still... Read the full World Trade Center Site review

Ground Zero
Quote: Visiting Ground Zero was VERY emotional. Even if you didn't know anyone who perished that day, it's very overwhelming to be in the area. When I was there for the first time after September 11, it was February of 2002, and there was a platform built... Read the full World Trade Center Site review

World Trade Center Site
Quote: Haunting yet thought-provoking. I could not help but feel moved. A must-see in order to truly believe and gain perspective. There is so much to take in. Be sure to take a camera, and some flowers to pay your respects if you feel so inclined.
