7Take a Ferry to the Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island
A visit to New York City wouldn’t be complete without seeing the iconic Statue of Liberty. Hop on a ferry from Battery Park to Liberty Island and get up close to this symbol of freedom. Afterward, continue your journey to Ellis Island, where millions of immigrants first arrived in the United States. The Ellis Island National Museum of Immigration offers insightful exhibits that tell the story of America’s immigrant history.
Tip: Reserve tickets in advance, especially if you want to climb up to the crown of the Statue of Liberty for stunning views.
