The Iconic Hearst Tower: A Marvel of Modern Architecture

Getting There

• Public Transport

  From Greenwich, head to the nearest Metro-North train station, which is Greenwich Station. Purchase a ticket for the New Haven Line towards Grand Central Terminal in New York City. Once on the train, enjoy the scenic ride, which takes about 40 minutes. Upon arriving at Grand Central Terminal, follow the signs to the subway (MTA). Take the 7 train from Grand Central to Times Square-42nd Street. At Times Square, transfer to the 1 train towards South Ferry and ride it for 3 stops until you reach the 50th Street Station. Exit the station and walk west on 50th Street until you reach 300 W 57th St, which is the Hearst Tower.

• Walking

  If you prefer to walk, start at the Greenwich Town Hall and head northwest on Greenwich Avenue. Continue straight until you reach the Greenwich Metro-North train station. From there, take the train as described above. After reaching 50th Street Station, upon exiting, walk west on 50th Street, then turn left on 8th Avenue. Continue walking until you reach 57th Street, then turn right. The Hearst Tower will be on your left at 300 W 57th St.

• Bicycle

  If you're feeling adventurous and want to cycle, rent a bike from a local rental shop in Greenwich. Follow the bike paths towards the Metro-North train station. Once there, secure your bike and take the train to Grand Central Terminal as mentioned earlier. After arriving in Manhattan, you can rent another bike from a bike-sharing program near Grand Central. Ride towards 8th Avenue, then head west to reach 57th Street where the Hearst Tower is located.
