Trinity Church

Trinity Church was once the tallest building in New York in the early nineteenth century and it witnessed the history of the Wall Street. There are lots of famous financial genius and politicians buried in the cemetery in the west of the church.

Opening hours: Summer hours: main church & souvenir shop, 9:00-17:00 on Monday, Friday and Saturday, the last entry time is 16:45; 9:00-18:00 on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday, the last entry time is 17:45. The opening hours of the main church every week is 7:00-19:00 and the opening hours of the shop is 9:00-18:00.

Notes: Each December, the choirs of Trinity offer three iterations of a service of Candlelight Carols. These are a "Boston tradition", and very popular events, drawing nearly 5,000 attendees from as far away as Maine. A traditional scene in Copley Square in December is that of a long line of people waiting to enter the church for the free event. The service is based on the Nine Lessons and Carols model developed at King's College, Cambridge.

If you unfortunately miss the event, you can listen to the choir’s playing at 9:00 a.m. every Sunday.
