Views of Manhattan and New York are unmatched by any other skyscraper in the City, including the Empire State Building. Try and arrange your visit on a clear, fine day when the 110 floor observation deck is open. The admission price is a little steep, but like most other sights in the City, the World Trade Center is a MUST on most visitors list.
