The cloisters

Hidden in northern Manhattan's Fort Tyron Park, Met Cloisters museum transports visitors to another time with the ruins of medieval French abbeys.

Yes, it is possible to find some peace and quiet in NYC. Trust us, we know this city well. From a soothing spa in the Lower East Side to a little-known sculpture park in Soho, here are the places we like to go to relax.

Offered daily through the end of September, these tours of the gardens at The Met Cloisters include horticultural, architectural, and historical information.
