This look is not for the faint of heart.

The glazed viewing platform hovers 300 meters above the roofs of New York.
It’s the new attraction of the One Vanderbilt skyscraper in Manhattan.
On the top four floors, in addition to the glass shelves, huge mirrors create optical illusions.
The terrace, which is also part of the attraction, is even 364m above the ground.
It can be reached via gigantic elevators, which are of course also glazed.
With an area of 30 square meters, they are the largest glass-floor elevators in the world.
Despite the fabulous view, the ‘One Vanderbilt’, with a total height of 427 meters, is only fourth in New York’s tallest skyscraper.
The One World Trade Center trumps it with 541.3 meters.
The successor to the twin towers has been the tallest skyscraper in the United States since its completion in 2013.
