🗽 Wall Street Tourist Tips
Can you visit the NYSE Trading Floor?
No. The NYSE trading floor has been closed to public tours since 9/11. However, you can still experience the Wall Street atmosphere from outside.
Best time to visit Wall Street area
- 🔔 9:00 - 9:45 AM: Watch traders and finance workers rush in before the opening bell. The energy is palpable.
- 🐂 7:00 - 8:00 AM: Best time for photos with the Charging Bull — minimal crowds.
- 🌆 4:00 - 5:00 PM: Closing bell atmosphere, workers leaving, good for street photography.
- 🌙 Weekends: Ghost town — great for architecture photos but zero Wall Street "vibe".
💡 Insider Tip
The Fearless Girl statue (now at NYSE) and Charging Bull (on Broadway) are about a 5-minute walk apart. Visit the Bull first thing in the morning, then walk to NYSE for the opening bell energy.
