Building Big
The Empire State Building is the tallest building in New
York. It is 443 metres high and had 103 floors. It was built
in 1930, and took one year and forty-five days to complete.
The ESB is one of the largest office spaces in the world,
but it also has many shops and restaurants inside.
The Empire State Building has 73 super fast lifts. The
fastest of these travel from the ground to the 80th floor in
only 45 seconds! If you choose to walk to the top, you
need to climb 1860 steps.
At the Empire State Building most visitors go straight to
the Observatory on the 86th floor. The view is amazing.
On a clear day you can see for miles around. Looking at
the Empire State Building from a distance is also great.
The top floors are decorated with beautiful lights. These
change colours every day. Depending on the occasion, the
building can be white, green, blue, purple, red or orange!
If you are ever in New York, don't forget to visit the Empire
State Building. It offers the best view of New York, and is
one of the city's most historic buildings.
