Take the 6 train uptown to 68th street. After exiting the station walk south two blocks.

The Number 1 subway train stops directly inside the Oculus these days. It's a brand new station in gleaming white.

Spanish architect Santiago Calatrava said he designed the Oculus to resemble a winged dove.

Easiest, cheapest, and convenient is the NYC subway. Go to 50th Street Station and take the E subway downtown to World Trade Center Station. Use exit-Church St & Vessey St or you might want to exit from right under it!

The easiest way t make it is to take the train 1 (red line) to downtown and get off the train in Cortland, once in the station get the stair down and once you cross the subway turnstile you will find on your left hand side the Oculus entryway gates

I think there is a "holiday market" at the Oculus from 22 to 23 December - but I am not sure if it is the same as the Christmas market that you saw. Perhaps you could check it out on the Westfield world trade centre site

I agree with the others. If you want to shop, some more time. otherwise 15 to 20 minutes time to see and go to the far end to exit the street after taking some impressive photos. If you walk straight down the street you come to another impressive mall which is located by the water with outside restaurants.

It will take as long as you want it to. No shopping 30 -40 mins If shopping it could take forever!

Florencia buenas tardes! Oculus es un centro comercial y adémas une varias estaciones del metro, así que no, no es necesario pagar la entrada.
