    Whether you're a New York history buff or a self-styled society aficionado, if you can't get enough of all things the Gilded Age, you're definitely going to appreciate this fascinating look at Central Park, then and now.

    Thanks to our favorite Instagram account chronicling the city's glamorous days of yore, @gothamsgildedage, we can take a trip to the past to visit the destination's longstanding landmarks both digitally and IRL.

    First, learn all about the park's iconic spots and structures and see how their surroundings have evolved over the past century with these stunning archival montages. Then, simply use the mapped out list in the captions to take yourself on your own walking tour through the Gilded Age.

    From Vanderbilt Gate to Belvedere Castle, you won't just be discovering some hidden history, but also plenty of fabulous photo ops.
