Yes, the Woolworth Building is worth visiting, particularly for architecture enthusiasts. Completed in 1913 and standing 792 feet (241 meters) tall, the neo-Gothic skyscraper held the title of the world's tallest building for nearly a decade and remains one of New York City's most recognizable landmarks. While the interior is not open to the general public, the ornate facade is best appreciated up close. A guided walking tour is a great way to see the building alongside other Financial District highlights, with a local expert on hand to provide context for the city's iconic skyline.
