5The Cloisters & Fort Tryon Park

For a more peaceful and secluded fall photo session, head to The Cloisters in Fort Tryon Park. The Cloisters, a branch of the Metropolitan Museum of Art dedicated to medieval art and architecture, sits atop a hill surrounded by gardens and woods that glow with fall colors.

The winding paths of Fort Tryon Park offer stunning views of the Hudson River, especially at Linden Terrace, the park’s highest point. The combination of medieval architecture, gardens, and sweeping vistas makes this location a unique and captivating spot for fall photography.
