Statue of Liberty, New York City

The Statue of Liberty is the most famous sight in New York, a picture of longing for a large number of strangers on their way to Ellis Island. Vacationers can visit the two attractions by taking a ship operated by the National Park Service that meets visitors at Battery Park and runs indefinite loops for the duration of the day.

The main attraction is the sculpture, where visitors may enjoy free views of both the monument and the New York City skyline. You can also purchase passes to get to the platform or the crown, though crown passes sell out more than a half year in advance. Make sure to walk into the exhibition hall in the sculpture's foundation and gaze at the broad instructive signs, sculptures, and noteworthy markers.
