You step out from the shadow of glass and steel, the hum of Canary Wharf-like traffic replaced by city footfall and the distant lurch of ferries on the East River. The tour begins at the Millennium Hilton near the World Trade Center—here the plaza’s clean lines and voids demand a moment of attention before the guide leads you through the memorial pools.
