The skyscrapers of Manhattan create one of the most recognizable city landscapes all over the world. The Empire State Building dominates over the background of other skyscrapers – today it is the third highest building in the world. A tourist standing on the observation deck has a chance to see areas which are over 100 kilometers away if the visibility is good. The tower is even more attractive as its illumination is matched to the seasons of the year or special occasions, e.g. Christmas.
