Fast answer
Charging Bull is on the Broadway median just north of Bowling Green in Lower Manhattan. It is free to view outdoors, but early morning is the best practical window for lower crowds and cleaner photos.
How to approach it
Arrive from Bowling Green station or Battery Park, pause before stepping into the median, and follow the existing queue pattern. The sculpture is famous, but the setting is still a live street environment.
What to pair it with
The strongest visit connects Charging Bull to Wall Street, Federal Hall, the New York Stock Exchange exterior, Stone Street, and Battery Park. That turns a single photo into a compact Lower Manhattan route.
