The New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) is one of the oldest and largest stock exchanges in the world. Formally established in 1871, it has since grown to become a top financial center and a symbol of American capitalism. It’s also a Lower Manhattan tourist destination.

The New York Stock Exchange is located at 18 Broad Street, New York, in the heart of Lower Manhattan’s Financial District. It’s been located in its iconic building—instantly recognizable for its colonnaded frontage—since 1903.

No, you can’t buy New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) tickets or go inside the building to see the trading floor. While it used to be open to the public, that changed following the 9/11 attacks. However, if you stand outside the NYSE at 9:30am or 4 pm on trading days—when trading starts and ends—you can hear its famous opening and closing bells.

The trading floor is one of the most famous parts of the New York Stock Exchange. Formerly a place of bustling activity, where stock market traders chaotically shouted and signaled to each other, it has since become more tame as trades moved online. However, it’s still an iconic financial symbol.
