This live camera looks at the Empire State Building in Midtown Manhattan, one of the most recognisable skyscrapers in the world. It is a practical way to check the city skyline from a distance before you plan your day. The live player, local time and forecast are all on this page.

About the Empire State Building

The Empire State Building stands at the centre of Midtown Manhattan on Fifth Avenue near 34th Street. Completed in 1931, it was the tallest building in the world for about four decades and remains a defining feature of the New York skyline. The surrounding area is busy with offices, shops, and visitors heading to the observation decks, so the street life is constant. The building is lit at night, and its colours change for holidays and special occasions.

What to watch on the camera

The view shows the tower and the streets around it, and the scene changes noticeably through the day. Mornings and weekday rush hours bring crowds and traffic, while evenings often bring the most striking light on the stone facade. Because the picture depends on the weather, clear days give the sharpest view of the tower's upper floors, while haze or rain can soften the skyline. The camera is embedded from its owner's stream and is not controlled by VizCams.

Practical notes and nearby cameras

New York has a humid subtropical climate, with hot and humid summers, cold winters, and mild spring and autumn that many visitors prefer for sightseeing. Midtown is easy to reach by subway and is walkable from most major attractions. If you want a different angle, the nearby Midtown 4K camera and the Summit One Vanderbilt cameras cover other parts of the same district.
