Manhattan Skyline from Lincoln Harbor

A Postcard View Across the Hudson

From the New Jersey shore of the Hudson River, this camera delivers one of the most recognizable panoramas in the world: the dense, layered skyline of Lower and Midtown Manhattan rising on the opposite bank. The wide river channel keeps the whole skyline in a single, uninterrupted frame.

Lincoln Harbor and the Weehawken Waterfront

Lincoln Harbor is a marina and hotel complex on the Weehawken waterfront, directly across from Midtown Manhattan. Ferries that connect New Jersey commuters to the city dock here alongside private boats, giving the foreground a working harbor character that contrasts with the skyscrapers behind it.

Landmarks on the Skyline

One World Trade Center, the tallest building in the Western Hemisphere, anchors the view along with the dense cluster of Financial District towers to its south. Further along the shoreline, glimpses of Hudson Yards and the Chelsea Piers complex round out the panorama.
