9/11 Memorial, Jersey City, Guía del visitante y qué hacer cerca

The 9/11 Memorial in Jersey City is a place to pause and remember the victims of the September 11 attacks. Jersey City sits directly across the Hudson River from Lower Manhattan, so remembrance here has a close, local meaning for many visitors.

Tips for your visit

• Plan a short, quiet stop. Most people spend a few minutes to half an hour, depending on how long they want to reflect.
• Be respectful of other visitors and of anyone who comes here to remember someone. Keep voices low and take photos with care.
• Check current access and opening hours before you go, especially if the memorial lies within a park or gated area.
• Jersey City is linked to Manhattan by the PATH train, so the memorial is easy to combine with a wider day out on either side of the river.
