🌇 Summit NYC: Breathtaking Sunset Views & Tips

If you're planning a visit to Summit One Vanderbilt, definitely choose the sunset time slot! We booked the 3:00 PM entry but arrived at the top around 3:50 — and honestly, you’ll want to get in line about an hour earlier to ensure you don’t miss the golden hour glow. ☀️ Once you’re up, there’s no time limit, so you can relax and soak in every moment. We opted for the Ascent package (includes a glass elevator ride that rises 12 floors above level 93), but in my opinion, it’s not really worth the upgrade — the standard access offers equally stunning views. We spent a full 2–3 hours up there and captured it all: ✨ Golden sunset hues 🌆 Dreamy blue hour 🌃 Sparkling night skyline Whether you're a photographer or just there to take it all in, Summit delivers unforgettable panoramas from day to night. Don’t rush — bring your camera and enjoy the ride! 📸✨ #SummitNYC #NYCsunset #NYCviews #NYCskyline #NYCphotography #NYCobservationdeck #VisitNYC #NYCtrip #NYCvibes #NYCnightview #TravelNYC #NYCexperience
