🗽 Statue of Liberty
New York, United States
Best time: April–June and September–November, when the weather is pleasant
France's gift for America's centennial, raising her torch over New York Harbor to welcome immigrants for more than a century. The ferry also stops at the Ellis Island immigration museum.
Good to know
- Only the official Statue City Cruises ferry lands on the island; crown tickets go months ahead.
- If you don't need to land, the free Staten Island Ferry sails right past.
