Columbus Circle
A major traffic circle at 59th Street and Eighth Avenue / Central Park West, next to the park’s Merchant’s Gate.
Columbus Circle sits at the southwest corner of Central Park and is stop 19 on this operator’s classic carriage loop. Visitors staying near the circle, Time Warner Center / Deutsche Bank Center, or nearby hotels often walk to the Central Park South meeting area at 59th Street and 7th Avenue. The circle itself is a city plaza, not the boarding stand.
How it relates to boarding
Rides begin and end at Central Park South & 7th Avenue, not in the middle of the circle. From Columbus Circle you are already at the park’s southwest corner; follow Central Park South east toward 7th Avenue and use the pickup notes in your confirmation. Walking times vary with crowds and lights, so leave a buffer instead of treating a map estimate as a promise.
