Places in NYC that feel like Europe

Washington Heights in Upper Manhattan feels like you’ve transported back centuries in Europe! Many of the places here feel like a castle. And much like castles were built atop a hill, this is the highest point of Manhattan and feels like you’re in a castle village on a hill!

Here are the most Europe-feeling places in Washington Heights:

The Met Cloisters

Officially a part of the Met Museum, this museum houses centuries old European tapestries including the famous “Hunt of the Unicorn” tapestries in what feels like a European monastery setting.

Fort Tryon Park

Feels like you’re wandering around castle gardens!

European-style apartment buildings

Many of the apartment buildings look like medieval half-timbered buildings and castles!

When you’re up here you forget you’re in Manhattan! It feels like medieval Europe!
