Visitors can walk through Monica and Rachel's pristinely clean apartment or take some time out to lounge on the famous orange couch in front of the fountain seen in the series' title sequence.

Friends ran for 10 seasons after it debuted in 1994.
The program featured stars Matt LeBlanc, Jennifer Aniston, Matthew Perry, David Schwimmer, Lisa Kudrow and Courteney Cox.
The 236th and final episode of the show aired on May 6, 2004.
Streaming giant Netflix bought the rights to the show in 2015 for $150million.
The move unearthed a new generation of fans of the sitcom who are now watching the show almost 20 years after it called time.
In 2019, production giant Warner Brothers floated the idea of recreating the set of the TV series to mark the 25th anniversary of the show, with a pop-up exhibition in New York City.
Since then, The Friends Experience has gone on to open exhibitions in 13 cities, including in North America and Europe, giving viewers and some of the newer fans a chance to revisit some of their favourite parts of the show.
