Includes skip-the-line tickets to Met Cloisters, meaning that you won’t have to wait in a long line to the ticket office. The museum is located on top of the hill in Fort Tryon Park with great views of the Hudson River. Your Private Guide will lead the way to the Cloisters, a beautiful building inspired by monasteries, churches, castles, and other European structures. This peaceful setting, enhanced by the presence of carefully selected plants and herbs grown in several gardens, will make you feel a new kind of appreciation for the culture of the past.
Marvel at the stunning panel paintings, sculptures, illuminated manuscripts, tapestries, stained glass windows, and other types of objects in the museum’s collection of approximately 5000 pieces of artwork. The guide will provide interesting commentary on the pieces and their origins, giving you a better understanding of art history. This experience will stimulate your imagination and evoke a sense of medieval European monastic life.

Visiting the Cloisters easier with private transfers between the Cloisters and your New York accommodation. The museum is located in the Fort George neighborhood in upper Manhattan.
